Review of Accident Register Extended

Accident Register.pdf

On July 7, 2017 (82 FR 31682) in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR) described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its review and approval. FMCSA requested approval to extend a currently-approved ICR entitled “Accident Recordkeeping Requirements.” This ICR relates to Agency requirements that motor carriers maintain a record of accidents involving their commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). On March 22, 2017, FMCSA published a Federal Register notice announcing an increase in the Agency's estimate of the total information-collection (IC) burden of this requirement and asked for public comment. No comments were received. The regulatory burden has not changed, but the population of motor carriers has increased, both organically and because the Agency now includes the population of intrastate motor carriers in this ICR.  Please send your comments by August 7, 2017. OMB must receive your comments by this date to act quickly on the ICR.
