[Docket No. FMCSA–2019–0108]

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Renewal and Revision of an
Approved Information Collection:
Commercial Driver’s License Drug and
Alcohol Clearinghouse
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (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 for its review
and approval and invites public
comment. The FMCSA requests to
renew an ICR titled, ‘‘Commercial
Driver’s License Drug and Alcohol
Clearinghouse.’’ The Agency’s final rule,
published December 5, 2016, titled
‘‘Commercial Driver’s License Drug and
Alcohol Clearinghouse’’ (81 FR 87686)
(Clearinghouse) established the
regulatory requirements for the
Clearinghouse. The compliance date of
the final rule is January 6, 2020. Since
the original ICR was approved, no data
has yet been collected. With the
upcoming compliance date, this ICR is
needed to ensure that querying and
reporting requirements are met to
diminish the problem of Commercial
Driver’s License (CDL) and Commercial
Learner’s Permit (CLP) holders who test
positive for drugs or alcohol and then
continue to perform safety sensitive
functions, including driving a
commercial motor vehicle (CMV),
without participating in the required
return-to-duty process.
DATES: We must receive your comments
on or before August 19, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Agency regulations at 49 CFR part 382
apply to persons and employers of such
persons who operate CMVs in
commerce in the United States and who
are subject to the CDL requirements in
49 CFR part 383 or the equivalent CDL
requirements for Canadian and Mexican
drivers (49 CFR 382.103(a)). Part 382
requires that employers conduct preemployment drug testing, post-accident
testing, random drug and alcohol
testing, and reasonable suspicion
testing, as well as return-to-duty (RTD)
testing and follow-up testing for those
drivers who test positive or otherwise
violate DOT drug and alcohol program
requirements. Motor carrier employers
are prohibited from allowing an
employee to perform safety-sensitive
functions, which include operating a
CMV, if the employee tests positive on
a DOT drug or alcohol test, refuses to
take a required test, or otherwise
violates the DOT or FMCSA drug and
alcohol testing regulations.
Section 32402 of the Moving Ahead
for Progress in the 21st Century Act
(MAP–21) requires that the Secretary of
Transportation establish, operate, and
maintain a national clearinghouse for
records relating to alcohol and
controlled substances testing of CMV
operators to improve compliance with
the Department of Transportation’s
(DOT) alcohol and controlled
substances testing program and to
enhance the safety of our roadways by
reducing crashes and injuries involving
the misuse of alcohol or use of
controlled substances by operators of
CMVs. As noted above, FMCSA
published a final rule on December 5,
2016, with an effective date of January
4, 2017, and a compliance date of
January 6, 2020 to implement the
requirements of the Clearinghouse. No
information is currently being collected.
The Clearinghouse will function as a
repository for records relating to the
positive test results and test refusals of
CMV operators and violations by such
operators of prohibitions set forth in
part 382, subpart B, of title 49, Code of
Federal Regulations. An employer will
utilize the Clearinghouse to determine
whether current and prospective
employees have incurred a drug or
alcohol violation that would prohibit
them from performing safety-sensitive
functions, including operating a CMV.
The Clearinghouse will provide
FMCSA and employers the necessary
tools to identify drivers who are
prohibited from operating a CMV and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:47 Jun 19, 2019

Jkt 247001

ensure that such drivers receive the
required evaluation and treatment
before resuming safety-sensitive
functions. Specifically, information
maintained in the Clearinghouse will
ensure that drivers who commit a drug
or alcohol violation while working for
one employer and attempt to find work
with another employer, can no longer
conceal their drug and alcohol
violations merely by moving on to the
next job or the next state. Drug and
alcohol violation records maintained in
the Clearinghouse will follow the driver
regardless of how many times he or she
changes employers, seeks employment
or applies for a CDL in a different State.
The information in the Clearinghouse
will be used by FMCSA and its State
partners for enforcement purposes:
• Ensure employers are meeting their
pre-employment investigation and
reporting requirements.
• Place drivers out of service if
drivers are found to be operating a CMV
without completing the RTD process.
• Ensure Medical Review Officers
(MROs) and Substance Abuse
Professionals (SAPs) meet their
reporting requirements.
Only authorized users, including
employers and their service agents, and
Federal Enforcement personnel and
State Driver Licensing Agencies
(SDLAs) will be able to register and
access the Clearinghouse for designated
purposes. State enforcement personnel
will receive the driver’s eligibility status
to operate a CMV, based on
Clearinghouse information, when they
check Query Central or NLets for driver
information. FMCSA will share a
driver’s drug and alcohol violation
information with the National
Transportation Safety Board when it is
investigating a crash involving that
driver.
Drivers will be able to access their
own information, but not information of
other drivers. The Clearinghouse will
meet all relevant federal security
standards and FMCSA will
continuously monitor compliance with
applicable security regulations.

Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0057.
Type of Request: Renewal and
revision of a currently approved
information collection.

concentration of 0.04 or higher, refusal
to test (alcohol), refusal to test (drug)
that is not determined by an MRO,
actual knowledge, negative RTD testing,
and completion of follow-up testing.
Employer reporting must be completed
by the close of the third business day
following the date they obtained the
information on a driver.
• MROs: Verified positive,
adulterated or substituted drug test
result and refusals to tests (drug) must
be entered to the Clearinghouse on
occasion, but no later than two business
days after making a determination or
verification.
• SAPs: Must enter the initial
assessment date and the date the driver
successfully complied with RTD
requirements. SAPs are required to enter
this information on occasion by the
close of business day following the date
of the initial assessment or completion
of the RTD process.
• SDLAs may query the
Clearinghouse prior to specified
licensing transactions to determine if
there are existing drug or alcohol
violations.
• Drivers must provide their specific
consent to pre-employment queries
electronically through the
Clearinghouse.

Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of a
Railroad Signal System
Under part 235 of Title 49 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides
the public notice that by a document
dated May 30, 2019, the Belt Railway
Company of Chicago (BRC) petitioned
the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) seeking approval to discontinue
or modify a signal system. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2019–
0044.
Applicant: The Belt Railway
Company of Chicago, Mr. Harold T.
Kirman, Director Strategic Planning &
Compliance, 6900 South Central
Avenue, Bedford Park, IL 60638–6397.
Specifically, BRC requests permission
to permanently remove signals 8R and
24RC within the interlocking at
Lemoyne, Chicago, IL, located on BRC’s
Kenton Line at milepost 6.7. Signals 8R
and 24RC share a common mast and are
a legacy configuration from the
Canadian National Railway adopting
centralized traffic control on the Joliet
Subdivision.
BRC states the removal of these
signals will eliminate superfluous
signals with a commensurate reduction
in the cost of maintaining the signals.
The balance of the interlocking
functionality will remain the same.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
http://www.regulations.gov and in

Association (ASLRRA) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for an amended waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Federal
hours of service laws contained at 49

period for 6 consecutive days. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number

desire to participate in the waiver, and
maintain at their headquarters
supporting documentation of employee
support as required:
• Black River & Western
• Belvidere and Delaware River
Railroad
• Dover and Delaware River Railroad
• Dover and Rockaway River Railroad
