Abstract: On November 14, 2021, the President signed into law the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA, Public Law No: 117-58), which contains requirements for a larger study under Section 23006, “Study of Commercial Motor Vehicle Crash Causation.” To meet the requirements of Section 23006, FMCSA is establishing a CMV Crash Causal Factors Program. Through this program, FMCSA will execute a multi-phased CMV Crash Causal Factors Study, with Phase 1 focused on fatal crashes involving Class 7/8 large trucks. This study is mandatory reporting. To plan and execute this study, FMCSA must collect information from the States and local jurisdictions to understand their interest or ability to participate in the study; existing crash data collection processes, systems, and resources; and CMV enforcement funding mechanisms and sources. This information collection (IC) will help the Agency understand what necessary study data are already being collected by the States. This IC will collect data from Federal and State (and local) highway and motor carrier safety programs. Study findings will ultimately inform the identification and development of countermeasures to prevent crashes involving CMVs. As part of the CMV Crash Causal Factors Program, this information collection supports the DOT Strategic Goal of Safety. FMCSA is in the process of establishing an interagency agreement with the USDOT Volpe Center to collect the majority of the information associated with this ICR. Under FMCSA guidance, trained Volpe Center support staff will develop the survey questions, develop and administer the web-based survey for each IC, and analyze the collected information. Information collected under these four ICs will inform various elements of the study plan, including the sample design, data collection plans, participation agreements, resourcing plans, and development of the study database. This ICR does not need a Part B supporting statement because the ICR does not use statistical methodology. This ICR will collect information that will help inform the sampling plan. That study design/sampling plan will then be a whole new ICR of its own, which will need a Part B because it will then show what/how much data will be collected to get a nationally representative sample.
