kept, either physically or electronically,
for at least six months at the company’s

Title: Hazardous Materials Safety
Permits.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0030.
Type of Request: Revision and
Extension of a currently-approved
information collection.
Respondents: Motor carriers subject to
the HM Safety Permit requirements in
49 CFR part 385, subpart E.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
987.
Estimated Time per Response: 5
minutes. The communication between
motor carriers and their drivers must
take place at least two times per day. It
is estimated that it will take 5 minutes
to maintain a daily communication
record for each driver.
Expiration Date: August 31, 2020.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
692,000 hours [8.3 million trips × 5
minutes per record ÷ 60 minutes per
hour = 691,667 rounded to 692,000].
Background: The Secretary of
Transportation is responsible for
implementing regulations to issue safety
permits for transporting certain
hazardous materials (HM) in accordance
with 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq. The HM
Safety Permit regulations (49 CFR part
385, subpart E) require carriers to
develop and maintain route plans so
that law enforcement officials can verify
the correct location of the HM shipment.
The FMCSA requires companies
holding safety permits to develop a
communications plan that allows for the
periodic tracking of the shipment. This
ICR covers the record of
communications that includes the time
of the call and location of the shipment.
The records may be kept by either the
driver (e.g., recorded in the log book) or
the company. These records must be
kept, either physically or electronically,
for at least six months at the company’s
principal place of business or be readily
available to employees at the company’s
principal place of business. The
currently-approved information
collection is based on an estimated
1,304 respondents. The total number of
companies now holding a safety permit
is 987 therefore in this ICR the
estimated number of respondents is
being revised to reflect this number.
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
