Responding to this collection is
mandatory. The entities that must respond are commercial driver’s
license (CDL) drivers and State driver licensing agencies (SDLAs).
The CDL driver discloses convictions and disqualifications, as well
as discloses employment history to the employer. The CDL driver
reports by completing a CDL application form, as well as a
knowledge and skills test. The SDLA records medical examiner’s
certification and self- certification of CMV operations. The SDLA
verifies medical certification status and there is an annual State
certification of compliance. The State participates in annual
program reviews and does recordkeeping for knowledge and skills
tests. The State certifies the knowledge and skills test examiner,
as well as monitors and audits the examiner. State officials use
the information collected on the license application form that is
posted to the CDLIS driver record, the information collected on the
CLP application form that is posted to the CDLIS driver record and
the conviction and disqualification data posted to the CDLIS driver
record to prevent ineligible, not-qualified and/or disqualified CLP
and CDL holders and applicants from operating CMVs on the nation's
highways. State officials are also required to administer knowledge
and skills tests to CDL driver applicants. During State CDL
compliance reviews, FMCSA officials review this information to
ensure that the provisions of the regulations are being carried
out. Without these requirements, there would be no uniform control
over driver licensing practices to prevent uncertified and/or
disqualified drivers from being issued a CLP or CDL and to prevent
unsafe drivers from spreading their convictions among several
licenses in several States and remaining behind the wheel of a CMV.
Failure to collect this information would render the regulations
unenforceable. FMCSA reviews information submitted by the States
and conducts reviews, audits, and investigations of each State as
it deems necessary to make compliance determinations for all States
and the District of Columbia. This information helps FMCSA ensure
that drivers, motor carriers, and the States are complying with the
notification and recordkeeping requirements for information related
to testing, licensing, violations, convictions, and
disqualifications. If this information were not available, the
FMCSA would have no means of independently verifying State
compliance.

The total annual burden hours
decrease of 124,602 hours [2,700,901 proposed annual burden hours –
2,825,503 currently approved annual burden hours] is due to a
program change and a calculation adjustment. The program
adjustments to this ICR include an increase in the number of CDL
holders from 8,507,375 to 9,029,538, and an increase in the number
of CDL examiners from 2,946 to 21,095. The increase in the number
of CDL holders and examiners heavily impacted burden estimates for
each component of IC-1, IC-2.1 through IC-2.3, IC-2.6, and IC-2.7.
The adjustment of the number of CDL holders and CDL examiners
prompted the availability of more accurate and recent data. In
addition to the program adjustments, there were calculation
adjustments made due to more accurate and recent data. The burden
hour costs from the previous ICR renewal was inadvertently reported
in the table above. The proposed burden hour costs of $135,709,715
is reported in section 12 of the supporting statement.
