SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Evaluating the Safety Benefits of
an On-Board Monitoring System in
Commercial Vehicle Operations:
Independent Evaluation and Data
Analysis.
OMB Control Number: 2126–XXXX.
Type of Request: New collection.
Respondents: Commercial motor
vehicle (CMV) drivers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
500 CMV drivers.
Estimated Time per Response: 20
minutes for the pre-study questionnaire,
15 minutes for during- and post-study
questionnaires, and 20 minutes for the
exit interview at the end of the study.
Expiration Date: N/A.
Frequency of Response: Drivers will
be asked to take a total of four unique
questionnaires administered six times
over the course of 18 months.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 792
hours [(250 responses × 20 minutes/60
minutes for pre-study questionnaire) +
(1,250 responses × 15 minutes/60
minutes for intervention questionnaire)
+ (1,250 responses × 15 minutes/60
minutes for withdrawal questionnaire) +
(250 responses × 20 minutes/60 minutes

determine whether on-board monitoring
and feedback will reduce at-risk
behavior among CMV drivers and
improve driver safety performance. The
purpose of the questionnaire portion is
to assess CMV drivers’ acceptance of the
OBMS being evaluated in the FOT. A
series of four unique questionnaires will
be conducted in the Baseline (no

exemption renewals will provide a level
of safety that is equivalent to, or greater
than, the level of safety maintained
without the exemptions for these
commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers.
