Abstract: The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking approval to collect information on “the total street dwell time from all causes of marine containers and chassis and the average out of service percentage of chassis” from “each port, marine terminal operator, and chassis owner or provider with a fleet of over 50 chassis that supply chassis for a fee” as mandated by the Ocean Shipping Reform Act (OSRA) 22. BTS proposes to conduct an OSRA 22 pilot data collection to scope intermodal marine container and chassis data sources and data items through the process of exploratory interviews to determine the feasibility of producing monthly statistics on marine container and chassis street dwell time and chassis out of service rates. The population of interest will include approximately 190-265 respondents representing the approximate set of 90 chassis owners, motor carriers, and/or intermodal equipment providers (IEPs), as well as the top 25 ports and inland ports and their approximately 75-150 intermodal terminal facilities, inland dry ports, intermodal terminal facilities operators (e.g., ICTF = Intermodal Container Transfer Facility). The data of interest will yield statistics on the total intermodal marine container and chassis street dwell time and the chassis out of service rate to satisfy the OSRA 22 mandate.

Emergency Justfication: The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R), U.S. Department of Transportation seeks emergency clearance from the OMB to conduct a pilot test to collect information from each port, marine terminal operator, and chassis owner or provider with a fleet of over 50 chassis that supply chassis for a fee to produce statistics on the total street dwell time from all causes of intermodal shipping containers (ISO 668) and chassis and the average out of service percentage of chassis as mandated in the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022. BTS is requesting an emergency clearance to meet the statutory deadline outlined in OSRA 22.
