Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 176 / Thursday, September 10, 2020 / Notices
The length of time during which
replacement study group drivers will be
added will be determined by FMCSA
based on the statistical and
administrative needs of the pilot data
collection plan.
FMCSA would adapt the applications,
agreements, forms to be used by
interested carriers and potential study
and control group drivers, and plans it
created for its Under 21 Military CDL
Pilot Program for this younger driver
pilot program.
In addition to the above requirements,
FMCSA is proposing that each motor
carrier accepted into the pilot program
must agree to comply with all pilot
program procedures and requirements,
including completing required forms,
obtaining driver consent, and attending
information sessions.
Control Group Drivers
Details of each requirement for
control group drivers summarized
below would be published if the pilot
program is approved. Control group
drivers would be required to:
•Agree to participate;
•Possess a valid CDL;
•Be a driver for participating motor
carrier;
•Have no disqualifications,
suspensions, or license revocations
within past 2 years; or be under any
OOS order;
•Agree to release of specified
information for the pilot program;
•Have experience comparable to
study group drivers; and
•Be 21 to 24 years old at time of
acceptance into the pilot.
VI. Data Collection Plan
The factors to be collected from each
participating driver before and during
the pilot program may include, but are
not limited to: (1) Details of any past
CMV driving experience and
employment information to assess
qualification for participation in the
study and/or control groups; (2) crashes
(to be specified); (3) any traffic citations
or warnings received while driving a
CMV; (4) any violations or warnings
listed on a CMV inspection report when
the participating driver was operating
the vehicle; and (5) detailed 24-hour
records of activity to include CMV
hours-of-service logs or electronic
records. Some of this information would
be automatically reported to FMCSA;
however, due to possibility of delays in
reporting and inaccurate data in some
instances, the participating carrier
would be asked to collect the
information from all participating
drivers and report it to FMCSA in a
designated format. Other information
that may be needed, such as vehicle
miles traveled, would also be collected
through the participating carrier. Every
effort would be made to minimize the
burden on the carrier in collecting and
reporting this data.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The proposed pilot program would
require participating motor carriers to
collect, maintain, and report to FMCSA
certain information about their
employed/sponsored drivers who are
participating in the pilot program. This
would include identifying information
and safety performance data for use in
analyzing the drivers’ safety history.
The Agency would revise the forms
developed for the Under-21 Military
Driver pilot program to promote
uniformity in the data collected by the
pilot carriers.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520) prohibits
agencies from conducting information
collection (IC) activities until they
analyze the need for the collection of
information and how the collected data
would be managed. Agencies must also
analyze whether technology could be
used to reduce the burden imposed on
those providing the data. The Agency
must estimate the time burden required
to respond to the IC requirements, such
as the time required to complete a
particular form. The Agency submits its
IC analysis and burden estimate to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) as a formal information
collection request (ICR); the Agency
cannot conduct the information
collection until OMB approves the ICR.
FMCSA asks for comment on the IC
requirements of this proposal. The
Agency’s analysis of these comments
would be used in devising the Agency’s
estimate of the IC burden of the pilot
program. Comments can be submitted to
the docket as outlined under
ADDRESSES
at the beginning of this notice.
Specifically, the Agency asks for
comment on: (1) How useful the
information is and whether it can help
FMCSA perform its functions better; (2)
how the Agency can improve the quality
of the information being collected; (3)
the accuracy of FMCSA’s estimate of the
burden of this IC; and (4) how the
Agency can minimize the burden of
collection.
Because this is a proposed pilot
program in which certain aspects—such
as the content of forms and reports—
have not been finalized, the Agency is
not posting the possible IC burden data
at this time. If the pilot program is to be
implemented, this information would be
posted at a later date and additional
comments would be taken.
VIII. Monitoring and Oversight
FMCSA would review both monthly
data submitted by approved motor
carriers and its own databases
including, but not limited to, MCMIS,
Safety Measurement System,
Commercial Driver’s License
Information System, the Licensing and
Insurance system, and the Drug and
Alcohol Clearinghouse. FMCSA reserves
the right to remove any motor carrier or
driver from the pilot program for
reasons including, but not limited to,
failing to meet any of the requirements
of the program.
IX. Length of Program
FMCSA expects this program to run
for 3 years but may conclude the
program sooner if there is sufficient data
to analyze the safety of covered drivers.
X. Request for Public Comments
The following questions identify
input desired by FMCSA. Instructions
for filing comments to the public docket
are included earlier in this notice.
Persons are encouraged to respond
wherever possible by reference to the
question number, but comments are not
limited to replies to these questions:
1. Should FMCSA consider any
additional safeguards to ensure that the
pilot program provides an equivalent
level of safety to the regulations without
the age exemption?
2. Would carriers be able to obtain
enough drivers to serve in the control
group?
3. Would the vehicle technology
requirements proposed for study group
drivers limit participation by smaller
companies?
4. Should FMCSA limit the distance
that study group drivers should be
allowed to operate (e.g., 150 air-mile
radius, 250 air-mile radius)?
5. Are the data collection efforts
proposed so burdensome for carriers as
to discourage their participation?
6. Should we limit participation to
drivers who have not been involved in
a preventable crash?

Deputy Administrator.
