DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration
[Docket No. FMCSA–2025–0102]

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Renewal of an Approved
Information Collection: Hours of
Service (HOS) of Drivers Regulations
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) announces its
plan to submit the Information
Collection Request (ICR) described
below to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for its review and
approval and invites public comment.
FMCSA requests approval to renew an
ICR titled, ‘‘Hours of Service (HOS) of
Drivers Regulations.’’ The HOS
regulations require a motor carrier to
install, and requires each of its drivers
subject to the record of duty status
(RODS) rule to use, an electronic logging
device (ELD) to report the driver’s
RODS. The RODS is critical to FMCSA’s
safety mission because it helps
enforcement officials determine if
commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers are complying with the HOS
rules limiting driver on-duty and
driving time and requiring periodic offduty time.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received on or before October 14, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this information
collection by selecting ‘‘Currently under
30-day Review—Open for Public
Comments’’ or by using the search
function.
SUMMARY:

Ms.
Pearlie Robinson, FMCSA Driver and
Carrier Operations Division, DOT,
FMCSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE,
Washington, DC 20590–0001; (202) 913–
0704; [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Hours of Service (HOS) of
Drivers Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0001.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved information
collection.

Respondents: Motor Carriers of
Property and Passengers, Drivers of
CMVs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4.45 million CMV drivers; 813,844
Motor Carriers.
Estimated Time per Response: CMV
drivers using technology: 2 minutes.
Motor Carriers: 2 minutes.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2025.
Frequency of Response: Drivers: 240
days per year; Motor carriers 240 days
per year.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
53.40 million hours.
Background: CMV drivers are limited
in how long they may remain in an onduty or driving status over specified
periods of time. The regulations
outlining those limits are found at 49
CFR part 395 and are known as the
‘‘HOS regulations.’’ The HOS
regulations require a motor carrier to
install, and requires each of its drivers
subject to the RODS rule to use, an ELD
to report the driver’s RODS. These
RODS are used to enforce compliance
with the HOS regulations.
As a condition of receiving certain
federal grants, States agree to adopt and
enforce the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations, including the HOS
regulations, as State law. As a result,
State enforcement personnel use the
RODS and supporting documents to
determine whether CMV drivers are
complying with the HOS regulations. In
addition, FMCSA uses the RODS during
on-site and offsite investigations of
motor carriers and Federal and State
courts rely upon the RODS as evidence
of driver and motor carrier violations of
the HOS regulations. This information
collection supports DOT’s Strategic Goal
of Safety because the information helps
the agency ensure the safe operation of
CMVs in interstate commerce.
Renewal of This Information Collection
(IC)
The current IC burden estimate of the
HOS rules, approved by OMB on
September 16, 2022, is 50.37 million
hours. The expiration date of the current
ICR is September 30, 2025. Through this
ICR renewal, FMCSA requests a revision
of the paperwork burden of 2126–0001.
The Agency requests an increase in the
burden hours from 50.37 million hours
to 53.40 million hours. The increase is
the result of the increase in estimated
driver population as well as the increase
in expected industry growth rate for
drivers from 2023 to 2033. Two types of
information are collected under this IC:
(1) drivers’ RODS commonly referred to
as a logbook, and (2) supporting
documents, such as gasoline and toll
receipts, that motor carriers use to verify

accuracy of RODS and document
expense deductions for income tax
filing purposes. The use of ELDs
reduces the driver’s time to input duty
status from 6.5 minutes to 2 minutes.
This IC includes only the estimate of 2
minutes for drivers and motor carriers.
On June 13, 2025, FMCSA published
a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
requesting public comments on the
proposed revision of this IC (90 FR
25115). The Agency received one
comment. Ross Tennison wrote, ‘‘The
comments and recommendations for
any regulation that has to do with truck
drivers should not include those not
employed as truck drivers or operating
a business as a trucking or logistics
companies.’’ Mr. Tennison’s comment
does not address any aspect of this IC.
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 the
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 information
collected.
The Agency will summarize or
include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this ICR.
Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87.

Acting Associate Administrator, Office of
Research and Registration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In general,
title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.)
section 20157(h) requires FRA to certify
that a host railroad’s PTC system
complies with title 49 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 236,
subpart I, before the technology may be
operated in revenue service. Before
making certain changes to an FRAcertified PTC system or the associated
FRA-approved PTC Safety Plan
(PTCSP), a host railroad must submit,
and obtain FRA’s approval of, an RFA
to its PTC system or PTCSP under 49
CFR 236.1021.
Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA’s
regulations provide that FRA will
publish a notice in the Federal Register
and invite public comment in
accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an
RFA includes a request for approval of
a material modification of a signal or
train control system. Accordingly, this
notice informs the public that, on
September 2, 2025, LIRR submitted an
RFA to its PTCSP for its Advanced Civil
Speed Enforcement System II (ACSES
II), which seeks FRA’s approval to
establish an ACSES Construction Zone
area to facilitate changes in LIRR’s
ACSES II, in response to the modified
interlocking and yard configuration.
That RFA is available in Docket No.
FRA–2010–0031.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on LIRR’s RFA by submitting
written comments or data. During FRA’s
review of LIRR’s RFA, FRA will

practicable, without delaying
implementation of valuable or necessary
modifications to a PTC system. See 49
CFR 236.1021; see also 49 CFR
236.1011(e). Under 49 CFR 236.1021,
FRA maintains the authority to approve,
approve with conditions, or deny a
railroad’s RFA at FRA’s sole discretion.
Privacy Act Notice
In accordance with 49 CFR 211.3,
FRA solicits comments from the public
to better inform its decisions. DOT posts
these comments, without edit, including
any personal information the
commenter provides, to https://
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–
14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
https://www.transportation.gov/privacy.
See https://www.regulations.gov/
