Requirements.’’ This ICR relates to
Agency requirements that motor carriers
maintain a record of accidents involving
their commercial motor vehicles
(CMVs). Motor carriers are not required
to report this data to FMCSA, but must
produce it upon inquiry by authorized
Federal, State or local officials.
DATES: We must receive your comments
on or before May 22, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 390.15(b), requires
motor carriers to make certain specified
records and information pertaining to
CMV accidents available to an
authorized representative or special
agent of the FMCSA upon request or as
part of an inquiry. Motor carriers are
required to maintain an ‘‘accident
register’’ consisting of information
concerning all ‘‘accidents’’ involving
their CMVs (49 CFR 390.15(b)(see
‘‘Definition: Accident’’ below). The
following information must be recorded
for each accident: Date, location, driver
name, number of injuries, number of
fatalities, and whether certain
dangerous hazardous materials were
released. In addition, the motor carrier
must maintain copies of all accident
reports required by insurers or
governmental entities. Motor carriers
must maintain this information for three
years after the date of the accident.
Section 390.15 does not require motor
carriers to submit any information or
records to FMCSA or any other party.
This ICR supports the DOT strategic
goal of safety. By requiring motor
carriers to gather and record information
concerning CMV accidents, FMCSA is
strengthening its ability to assess the
safety performance of motor carriers.
This information is a valuable resource
in Agency initiatives to prevent, and
reduce the severity of, CMV crashes.
The Agency increases its estimate
from 26,700 to 36,157 burden hours.
The regulation has not changed; the
increase in burden hours does not

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 22, 2017 / Notices

reflect changes in the requirements for
accident recordkeeping. The increase is
due to two revised estimates: (1) The
population of motor carriers subject to
the regulation, from 520,000 to 886,122,
and (2) the number of reportable
accidents, from 89,000 to 120,522. The
Agency has amended the population of
motor carriers to include the accident
recordkeeping burden of intrastate
motor carriers. In past estimates, the
Agency had taken the position that the
accident recordkeeping of intrastate
carriers occurred as a result of State law.
However, the OMB has directed FMCSA
to include such intrastate activities in
its IC estimates, so we do so in this
burden estimate statement for the first
time. The Agency estimates that 886,122
interstate and intrastate motor carriers
are subject to accident register
requirements (508,367 interstate and
377,755 intrastate motor carriers). The
Agency further estimates that the
number of accidents that must be
reported by intrastate or interstate motor
carriers is 120,522.
Title: Accident Recordkeeping
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0009.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents: Motor Carriers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
886,122 motor carriers.
Estimated Number of Responses:
120,522.
Estimated Time per Response: 18
minutes.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2017.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
36,157 hours [120,522 accidents × 18
minutes per response/60 minutes in an
hour].
Definition: ‘‘Accident’’ is an
occurrence involving a CMV operating
on a public road which results in: (1)A
fatality, (2) bodily injury to a person
who, as a result of the injury, receives
medical treatment away from the scene
of the accident, or (3) one or more motor
vehicles being towed from the scene (49
CFR 390.5).
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the collection is necessary for
the FMCSA’s performance; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3)
ways for the 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
