FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Christine A. Hydock, Medical Programs
Division, DOT, FMCSA, West Building

Washington, DC 20590–0001; (202) 366–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: FMCSA’s primary
mission is to reduce crashes, injuries,
and fatalities involving large trucks and
buses. The Secretary of Transportation
has delegated to FMCSA its
responsibility under 49 U.S.C. 31136
and 31502 to prescribe regulations that
ensure CMVs are operated safely. As
part of this mission, the Agency’s
Medical Programs Division works to
ensure that CMV drivers engaged in

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:19 Sep 07, 2022

Jkt 256001

interstate commerce are physically
qualified and able to safely perform
their work.
The public interest in, and right to
have, safe highways requires the
assurance that drivers of CMVs can
safely perform the increased physical
and mental demands of their duties.
FMCSA’s physical qualification
standards provide this assurance by
requiring drivers to be examined and
medically certified as physically and
mentally qualified to drive.
The purpose for this voluntary IC is
to assist the ME in determining if the
driver is medically qualified under
§ 391.41 and to ensure that there are no
disqualifying medical conditions that
could adversely affect their safe driving
ability or cause incapacitation
constituting a risk to the public. Under
49 CFR 391.41(b)(12), a person is
physically qualified to drive a CMV if
that person does not use any drug or
substance identified in 21 CFR 1308.11
Schedule I, an amphetamine, a narcotic,
or other habit-forming drug; and does
not use any non-Schedule I drug or
substance that is identified in the other
Schedules in 21 CFR part 1308 except
when the use is prescribed by a licensed
medical practitioner, as defined in
§ 382.107, who is familiar with the
driver’s medical history and has advised
the driver that the substance will not
adversely affect the driver’s ability to
safely operate a CMV.
The use of this IC is at the discretion
of the ME and facilitates communication
with treating healthcare professionals
who are responsible for prescribing
certain medications so that the ME fully
understands the reasons the
medications have been prescribed. This
information assists the ME in
determining whether the underlying
medical condition and the prescribed
medication will impact the driver’s safe
operation of a CMV. Therefore, there is
no required collection frequency.
The ‘‘391.41 CMV Driver Medication
Form, MCSA–5895,’’ may be
downloaded from the FMCSA website.
Prescribing healthcare providers are also
able to fax or scan and email the report
to the certified ME. Consistent with
OMB’s commitment to minimizing
respondents’ recordkeeping and
paperwork burdens and the increased
use of secure electronic modes of
communication, the Agency believes
that approximately 50 percent of the
‘‘391.41 CMV Driver Medication Forms,
MCSA–5895,’’ are transmitted
electronically.

The information collected from the
‘‘391.41 CMV Driver Medication Form,
MCSA–5895,’’ is used by the certified
ME that requested the completion of the
form. The ‘‘391.41 CMV Driver
Medication Form, MCSA–5895,’’ is
attached to the ‘‘Medical Examination
Report Form, MCSA–5875,’’ which
becomes part of the CMV driver’s record
maintained by the certified ME. The
information is not available to the
public. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations covering driver physical
qualification records are found at
§ 391.43, which specify that a medical
examination be performed on CMV
drivers subject to part 391 who operate
in interstate commerce. The results of
the examination must be recorded in
accordance with the requirements set
forth in that section. MEs are required
to maintain records of the CMV driver
medical examinations they conduct.
Title: 391.41 CMV Driver Medication
Form.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0064.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Prescribing healthcare
professionals.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Up to 1,163,160 (total number of
prescribing healthcare providers in the
U.S.).
Estimated Time per Response: 8
minutes.
Expiration Date: April 30, 2023.
Frequency of Response: Other (use of
this IC is optional so there is no
required collection frequency).
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
279,465 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
IC, 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
reducing the quality of the collected
information. The Agency will
summarize or include your comments in
the request for OMB’s clearance of this
ICR.
