SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Electronic Logging Device (ELD)
Vendor Registration.
OMB Control Number: 2126-0062.
Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information
collection.
Respondents: ELD vendors.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 75.
Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
Expiration Date: March 31, 2022.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 150 hours [75 respondents x 2
devices per respondent x 4 updates per device x 15 minutes per
response].
Background
49 CFR part 395, subpart B establishes minimum performance and
design standards for hours-of-service (HOS) ELDs; requirements for the
mandatory use of these devices by drivers currently required to prepare
HOS records of duty status (RODS); requirements concerning HOS
supporting documents; and measures to address concerns about harassment
resulting from the mandatory use of ELDs.
To ensure consistency among ELD vendors and devices, detailed
functional specifications were published as part of the December 2015
final rule (Dec. 16, 2015, 80 FR 78292). Each ELD vendor developing an
ELD technology must register online at a secure FMCSA website where the
ELD provider can securely certify that its ELD is compliant with the
functional specifications. Each ELD vendor must certify that each ELD
model and version has been sufficiently tested to meet the functional
requirements in the rule under the conditions in which the ELD would be
used.
ELD vendors must self-certify and register their devices with FMCSA
online via Form MCSA-5893, ``Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Vendor
Registration and Certification.'' FMCSA expects 100% of respondents to
submit their information electronically. Once completed, FMCSA issues a
unique identification number that the ELD vendor will embed in their
device(s). FMCSA maintains a list on its website of the current ELD
vendors and devices that have been certified (by the vendors) to meet
the functional specifications. The information is necessary for fleets
and drivers to easily find a compliant ELD for their use in complying
with the FMCSA regulation requiring the use of ELDs.
On October 14, 2021, FMCSA published a notice in the Federal
Register with a 60-day public comment period to announce this request
to renew the information collection (86 FR 57249). The Agency received
no comments in response to the notice.
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.
Thomas P. Keane,
Associate Administrator for Research, Technology and Registration.
