SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Section 5506 of the
FAST Act requires FMCSA to produce
a study on CDL skills test delays on an
annual basis. The requirements of the
study are to submit a report describing:
‘‘(A) the average wait time from the
date an applicant requests to take a
skills test to the date the applicant has
the opportunity to complete such test;
(B) the average wait time from the
date an applicant, upon failure of a
skills test, requests a retest to the date
the applicant has the opportunity to
complete such retest;
(C) the actual number of qualified
commercial driver’s license examiners
available to test applicants; and
(D) the number of testing sites
available through the State department
of motor vehicles and whether this
number has increased or decreased from
the previous year.’’
The report is also required to describe
‘‘specific steps the Administrator is
taking to address skills testing delays in
States that have average skills test or
retest wait times of more than 7 days.’’
If this information collection does not
occur, FMCSA will not be able to
conduct a study on CDL skills test
delays, as there is currently no
repository of information on skills tests
and the required data is not available for
all States at this time. If information
collection occurs on a less-than-annual
basis, FMCSA will not be able to make
observations on yearly trends or analyze
differences in each State on a year-toyear basis.
FMCSA has met with several
stakeholders, including the American
Association of Motor Vehicle
Administrators, the Commercial Vehicle
Training Association, and State Driver
Licensing Agencies to ensure that the
information being collected in this
survey has not already been collected, is
not currently available to FMCSA, and

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 5, 2016 / Notices
is not in the process of being collected.
Extensive background research was
conducted to ensure the study was not
duplicative. A previous study, done by
the Government Accountability Office
(GAO) in 2015, asked for similar
information but did not produce
specific enough data to be used in this
study.
The survey will be sent out via email,
with the option for online completion
using SurveyMonkey®. Each State can
respond via email or the online survey
depending on which method is more
convenient for the respondent. The
welcome letter will indicate that
FMCSA prefers responses via the online
survey tool.
The information collected will be
published annually in a report to the
Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate and the
Committee on Transportation and
Infrastructure of the House of
Representatives. The first report is due
to Congress no later than June 1, 2017.
Subsequent reports will be published on
an annual basis thereafter.
Title: Survey on CDL Skills Testing
Delays.
OMB Control Number: To be
determined.
Type of Request: New collection.
Respondents: State CDL Coordinators
(one from each of the 50 States, and one
from Washington, DC).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
51.
Estimated Time per Response: 2.2
hours (132 minutes).
Expiration Date: N/A. This is a new
ICR.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
annual burden is estimated to be no
more than 2.2 hours (132 minutes) per
respondent, which equates to 112.2
hours over the universe of 51
respondents. This estimate contains a
maximum of 2 hours to gather
information from State information
systems, and an estimated maximum of
12 minutes to respond to the survey.
While States that already track and
report similar information may need
much less than 2 hours to gather
information, discussions with subject
matter experts led to an agreement that
2 hours was a reasonable maximum
time limit to use to estimate the
maximum annual burden expected.
The estimate time for survey
completion was calculated using Versta
Research’s methodology for calculating
an estimate of survey length, where each
question is given a number of points
based on the estimated burden required
to respond to the question (for example,
simple multiple choice questions are 1

Jkt 241001

point, whereas short answer questions
are 3 points per expected short phrase).
The total number of points for all
questions is then divided by eight (the
number of simple questions a user can
respond to online in 1 minute) to
determine the estimate required length
for finishing the survey.
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 performance of
FMCSA’s 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. The Agency will
summarize or include your comments in
the request for OMB’s clearance of this
information collection.
