Short Statement: This ICR is currently approved at 350,000 estimated annual burden hours. FMCSA estimates that it takes 5 minutes to maintain a daily record for each driver's daily communications. The total annual ICR burden for maintaining a daily communication record is approximately 967,000 hours [11.6 million trips x 5 minutes per record/60 minutes per record – 966,667 rounded to the nearest thousand]. The program adjustment increase of 617,000 annual burden hours [967,000 proposed annual burden hours – 350,000 currently approved annual burden hours = 617,000] is due to an increase in the estimated number trucks requiring HM safety permits.
