To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the information collection plan and
instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention. Reducing fatiguerelated crashes is one of the top 10
changes needed to reduce transportation
accidents and save lives identified by
the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB) for 2017–2018 and a
National Occupational Research Agenda
(NORA) priority.
Fatigue is a preventable cause of
crashes. The North American Fatigue
Management Program (NAFMP) was
developed by the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration, Transport
Canada, and other entities to address
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver
fatigue through a comprehensive
approach that delivers prevention
information to carriers, dispatchers,
drivers, and family members. In 2015,
the National Academy of Sciences
published the report ‘‘Commercial
motor vehicle driver fatigue, long-term
health, and highway safety research
needs’’ that identified the need for fully
evaluating the NAFMP so that
recommendations for implementation of
NAFMP are supported by scientific
evidence. NIOSH is collaborating with
the FMCSA to ensure the success of the
proposed study.
Data will be collected from CMV
drivers (hereafter referred to as ‘‘driver’’)
during their application to participate in
the study, briefing session, study
participation, and debriefing session.
Data collection will primarily focus on
driving performance, sleep, and
sleepiness. These outcomes will be
compared between pre-rollout of the
NAFMP (in which drivers will operate
as they did before their participation in
the study) and after the rollout of the
NAFMP training and education modules
(in which drivers and managers will
operate with increased knowledge,
strategies, and techniques to reduce
their fatigue). All drivers interested in
participating in the study may complete
the application. A briefing session will
be scheduled with drivers who are
found eligible for the study. During the
briefing session, drivers who provide
informed consent will be enrolled in the
study. Drivers will have a debriefing
session if a driver chooses to withdraw
from the study early or upon completion
of the eight-month participation period.
The sample of drivers in the study
will include those employed as drivers
at the participating carriers. Drivers who
have a valid Class-A commercial
driver’s license (CDL) and work at the
participating company in regional and

long-haul operations for at least one
year will be eligible for the study. A
convenience sample of 180 eligible
drivers over a two-year period will be
recruited to participate in the study. The
study sample will include
approximately 90 regional and 90 longhaul drivers. There will be no required
minimum number of female or minority
drivers to be included in the study.
Data will be collected during each
phase: (1) In the application, drivers
will be asked to provide their name and
contact information (home address,
telephone number, and email address)
to allow contact from the research team
regarding their eligibility for the study.
(2) In the briefing session, drivers will
be asked to complete the Background
Questionnaire. (3) During the study,
information collection will occur
through several streams: (a) A real-time

fatigue monitoring system installed in
the participating driver’s vehicle; (b)
Smart phone apps to collect
psychomotor vigilance test, Karolinska
Sleepiness Scale, sleep log, difficulty of
drive scale, degree of drive hazards
scale, a fatigue scale, and a stress scale;
(c) an electronic logging device to
collect data on the driver’s duty and
driving; (d) a wrist actigraphy to collect
data on driver sleep and wake times.
Drivers will be asked to sync the
actigraph with a smartphone app daily;
(e) smartphone or web-based
questionnaires including Exercise and
Food Consumption Questionnaire, the
quality of life short form 36 version-2
questionnaire (SF–36v2), Family
Interactions Questionnaire, and Job
Descriptive Index. These will be
completed by drivers at four different
intervals, including the beginning (first

week) and middle (second month) of the
baseline phase, and the middle (fifth
month) and end (eighth month) of the
intervention phase; (f) A questionnaire
to assess corporate practices and
corporate safety climate will be given to
managers at the participating carriers.
These will be completed by managers at
the beginning (first week) of the study
and end (eighth month) of the
intervention phase; and (g) during the
field study, carriers will be asked to
provide information concerning crashes
and roadside violations occurring
during each driver’s period of study
participation. Administrative cost
information (e.g., equipment, labor, etc.)
will also be collected from the carrier to
evaluate cost-benefit of the intervention.
The total annualized burden hours
requested is 5,139.
