Abstract:
This request is due to a Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) entitled, "Electronic Logging Devices and Hours of Service Supporting Documents," issued by FMCSA. This SNPRM proposes amendments to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to establish: Minimum performance and design standards for hours-of-service (HOS) electronic logging devices (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 document; and measures to address concerns about harassment resulting from the use of ELDs.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The program adjustment decrease of 93,440,000 estimated annual burden hours [184,380,000 approved annual burden hours - 90,940,000 proposed annual burden hours] is due to two primary factors. First, the Agency has updated its estimate of the population of CMV drivers subject to the recordkeeping requirements of the HOS rules. Second, the Agency incoporates an estimate of the paperwork burden of the HOS rules as they would exist under FMCSA's SNPRM entitled, " Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and Hours of Service Supporting Documents."
