SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 6, 2007, FMCSA published a notice in the Federal Register
(72 FR 17218), to announce that its Information Collection Request
(ICR) for collecting data about motor carriers who operate small
passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicles had been sent to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. In the
April 6th notice, the agency imposed a 30-day comment period for
interested parties to comment on the survey. The comment period ended
on May 7, 2007.
Purpose of Reopening the Comment Period
The comment period is being reopened to allow more time for the
public to comment on this proposed survey. FMCSA is committed to
obtaining information that will provide insight into the common safety
and regulatory compliance challenges facing motor carriers with small
passenger-carrying CMV operations. Such information provided in the
comments will also be utilized by FMCSA to develop educational outreach
initiatives for the affected industry segment. It is appropriate that
FMCSA connect with and inform this segment of the motor carrier
industry of its regulatory compliance responsibilities before
implementing an enforcement program. Any information obtained will help
identify specific areas of regulatory compliance that are problematic
for this industry segment. The survey will also obtain needed insight
about how to best provide and distribute information to the affected
industry segment.
Issued on: September 4, 2007.
