SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Crime Prevention for Truckers.
OMB Control Number: 2126-0071.
Type of Request: Request for emergency approval for a revision to a
currently-approved information collection.
Respondents: All truck drivers.
Estimated Total Respondents: 1,320.
Estimated Total Responses: 1,320.
Estimated Burden Hours: 416.
Estimated Burden per Response: 20 minutes per response.
Frequency: Once.
Background: OMB approved the ``Crime Prevention for Truckers''
collection on May 14, 2021. After receiving approval, FMCSA moved
forward in implementing the survey.
Originally, the survey was planned to be an in-person data
collection, but the project team switched to an online data collection
because of the pandemic. Within hours of posting the survey online, it
reached its maximum number of responses. This occurred before FMCSA was
able to reach out to all desired women's trucking associations to
encourage participation by their members, thus undermining the purpose
of the survey. No rewards were paid by the agency.
All proposed changes to the questions are de minimis or non-
substantive and are primarily driven by changes to some of the skip
patterns in the survey to make coding them on the online survey
platform (SurveyMonkey) possible. The changes do slightly increase the
time burden on the respondents, as they will need to respond to more
questions instead of having the survey skip ahead. However, this
increase is minimal.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for FMCSA to perform its 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.
Issued under the authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.87.

Associate Administrator, Office of Research and Registration.
