Valley Creek culverts. To meet fiscal
constraint requirements, the project
would be programmed in a phased
manner. These proposed safety
improvements are not anticipated to
result in significant impacts on the
human or natural environment.
If, at a future time, FHWA determines
that the proposed safety and congestion
improvements are likely to have a
significant impact on the environment,
a new NOI to prepare an EIS will be
published.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related are identified, comments or
questions regarding this action to
rescind the NOI are invited from all
interested parties. These comments or
questions should be directed to FHWA
or ITD at the addresses provided above.

Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
FMCSA announces its plan to submit
the Information Collection Request (ICR)
described below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. The FMCSA
requests approval of a new ICR that is
associated with a study that will be
conducted by a research contractor to
investigate the differences among the
characteristics of individual commercial
drivers. This information collection will
aid FMCSA in developing future safety
initiatives by examining a wide array of
driver and situational factors to
determine if they are associated with
increased or decreased crash and
incident involvement. On October 3,
2011, FMCSA published a Federal
Register notice allowing for a 60-day
comment period on the ICR. Five
comments were received.

Frequency of Response: This
information collection will be a single,
nonrecurring event for 16,000 CMV
driver participants and 20 fleet
managers. For at least 5,000 CMV driver
participants, the information collection
will occur twice.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
9,536 hours. 8,822 hours for CMV driver
participants: [16,800 CMV drivers

months) × 30 minutes/60 minutes =
2,143/3 years = 714 hours]. 8,822 hours
for CMV driver participants + 714 hours
for Carriers Operations = 9,536 hours.
Background: The purpose of this
study is to identify, verify, quantify, and
prioritize commercial driver risk factors.
Primarily, these are personal factors
such as demographic characteristics,
medical conditions, personality traits,
and performance capabilities. Risk
factors may also include work
environmental conditions, such as
carrier operations type. The study will
identify risk factors by linking the
characteristics of individual drivers
with their driving records, especially
the presence or absence of DOT
reportable crashes.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FMCSA to perform its
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA
to enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information.
