Abstract:
This ICR is a revision of mandatory reporting and record keeping. During the first two years, 2020 and 2021, of the three-year period covered by this ICR, employers are prohibited from allowing an entry-level driver to operate a CMV without ensuring that the driver has received entry-level driver training specified under 49 CFR 380.503. Under IC-1, “Training Certification for Entry-Level Drivers under Subpart E,” these entry-level interstate CDL drivers receive a certificate when they successfully complete this mandatory training, and must present a copy of it to their employer in order to be qualified to drive a CMV in interstate commerce. The employer keeps a copy of the training certificate in the driver qualification file. During a compliance review, the certificate must be made available to authorized representatives of FMCSA, and serves as proof that the CDL driver completed the required training. During 2022, the third year, under IC-2, “Training Provider Registration,” information will be collected by FMCSA from each training provider for each training location by means of the online TPR, an electronic, online, web-based information system with specific data fields required to be submitted by training providers for each training location and each curricula in order to register on the TPR. This information will be collected when a training provider is first registering in the TPR, on a biennial basis thereafter, or otherwise when key information changes (training provider name, address, training provider status, etc.). This information will be used by FMCSA to ensure that training providers meet the new training provider eligibility requirements established by the December 2016 final rule, and can therefore be listed on the TPR. From the “Training Provider Registration” information submitted by training providers, certain basic identifying information and descriptive attributes regarding the training offered (types of CDL, endorsement training, etc.) by each training provider and at each training location will be displayed and made available to the public on the TPR. This information will be used by entry-level drivers to identify training providers from which they can obtain the training that they require for the Class A or Class B CDL and/or endorsement that they seek to acquire. Also during 2022, the third year, under IC-3, “Driver Training Certification” information will be collected by FMCSA from training providers by means of the new TPR. The electronic, online, web-based system, with specific data fields are required to be submitted by training providers for each driver-trainee that completes training. After an individual driver-trainee completes training administered by a training provider listed on the TPR, that training provider must submit the training certification information regarding the driver-trainee to the TPR. This “Driver Training Certification” information will be used by SDLAs to verify that the required driver training has been completed by the driver-trainee prior to the SDLA administering CDL skills tests to applicants for the Class A and B CDL, and/or the P or S endorsements, or knowledge test for the H endorsement. The information collected from training providers will also be used by the Agency to improve its understanding of the number of training providers and the types of training they provide, and the number of entry-level drivers and the types of training, CDLs, and endorsements that they obtain. Retrospective review of the data and of the safety performance of drivers that complete ELDT will allow FMCSA to better assess the impact of ELDT on motor carrier safety, and to monitor the effectiveness of individual training providers and identify those that may not be conducting training in compliance with the regulations and that may therefore be candidates for an on-site review by FMCSA.
