[Docket No. FMCSA 2016–0334]

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Extension of a CurrentlyApproved Collection: Training
Certification for Drivers of Longer
Combination Vehicles
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), FMCSA announces its plan to
submit the Information Collection
Request (ICR) described below to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for its review and approval. This
ICR relates to the qualification of drivers
to operate longer combination vehicles
(LCVs). On October 14, 2016, FMCSA
published a Federal Register notice
announcing an increase in the Agency’s
estimate of the total informationcollection (IC) burden of these driver
training certifications and asked for
public comment. One comment was
received. The Agency’s regulations have
not changed, but the population of CMV
drivers operating LCVs has increased
since OMB approved this ICR on May
14, 2014.
DATES: Please send your comments by
April 26, 2017. OMB must receive your
comments by this date to act quickly on
the ICR.
ADDRESSES: All comments should
reference Federal Docket Management
System (FDMS) Docket Number
FMCSA–2016–0334. Interested persons
are invited to submit written comments
on the proposed information collection
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget. Comments
should be addressed to the attention of
the OMB Desk Officer, DOT/FMCSA,
and sent via electronic mail to oira_
[email protected], faxed to (202)
395–6974, or mailed to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Training Certification for
Drivers of Longer Combination Vehicles.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0026.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Drivers who complete
LCV training each year, current LCV
drivers who submit their LCV Driver
Training Certificate to prospective
employers, and employers (motor
carriers) receiving and maintaining
copies of the LCV Driver-Training
certificates of their drivers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
59,684 consisting of 2,360 newlycertified LCV drivers plus 28,662
currently-certified LCV drivers plus
28,662 motor carriers employing LCV
drivers.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes for preparation of LCV DriverTraining Certificates for drivers who
successfully complete the LCV training,
and 10 minutes for activities associated
with the LCV Driver-Training Certificate
during the hiring process.
Expiration Date: May 31, 2017.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
5,565 hours. The total number of drivers
who will be subjected to these
requirements each year is 31,022,
consisting of 2,360 Newly-certified LCV
drivers, and 28,662 currently-certified
LCV drivers obtaining new employment.
The total annual information collection
burden is approximately 5,565 hours,
consisting of 394 hours for preparation
of LCV Driver-Training Certificates
[2,360 drivers successfully completing
LCV driver training × 10 minutes ÷ 60
minutes/hour] and 5,171 hours for
requirements related to the hiring of
LCV drivers [31,022 LCV drivers
obtaining new employment × 10
minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Background
LCV is any combination of a trucktractor and two or more semi-trailers or
trailers that operates on the National
System of Interstate and Defense
Highways and has a gross vehicle
weight greater than 80,000 pounds (49
CFR 380.105). To enhance the safety of
LCV operations on our nation’s
highways, Section 4007(b) of the Motor
Carrier Act of 1991 directed the
Secretary of Transportation to establish
Federal minimum training requirements

E:\FR\FM\27MRN1.SGM

27MRN1

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 57 / Monday, March 27, 2017 / Notices
for drivers of LCVs [Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991
(ISTEA), Pub. L. 102–240, 105 Stat.
1914, 2152, 49 USCA § 2302 NOTE].
The Secretary of Transportation
delegated responsibility for establishing
these requirements to FMCSA (49 CFR
1.87), and on March 30, 2004, after
appropriate notice and solicitation of
public comment, FMCSA established
the current training requirements for
operators of LCVs (69 FR 16722). The
regulations bar motor carriers from
permitting their drivers to operate an
LCV if they have not been properly
trained in accordance with the
requirements of 49 CFR 380.113. Drivers
receive an LCV Driver-Training
Certificate upon successful completion
of these training requirements. Motor
carriers employing an LCV driver must
verify the driver’s qualifications to
operate an LCV, and must maintain a
copy of the LCV Driver-Training
Certificate and present it to authorized
Federal, State or local officials upon
request.
The LCV regulations have not
changed, but the Agency is increasing
its estimate of the IC burden to 5,565
hours because the population of CMV
drivers receiving LCV training and the
number of drivers being certified to
operate LCVs have both increased based
upon U.S. Department of Labor data.
The Agency received one comment to
the 60-day Federal Register notice of
October 14, 2016. The comment did not
address the paperwork burden; instead,
it lamented the existence of the
requirement that operators of LCVs
receive specialized training. As
explained above, the Motor Carrier Act
of 1991 directed the Secretary of
Transportation to establish these LCV
training requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations for a 2-year period if it finds
‘‘such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to or
greater than the level that would be
achieved absent such exemption.’’ The
statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 2-year
period. The 40 individuals listed in this
notice have recently requested such an
exemption from the diabetes prohibition
in 49 CFR 391.41(b) (3), which applies
to drivers of CMVs in interstate
commerce. Accordingly, the Agency
will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting
the exemption will achieve the required
level of safety mandated by statute.
II. Qualifications of Applicants

2014. His endocrinologist examined him
in 2017 and certified that he has had no
severe hypoglycemic reactions resulting
