Abstract: The purpose of this request is to renew the currently OMB approved ICR and update the annual burden hour estimate. On December 16, 2015, FMCSA published a final rule entitled “Electronic Logging Devices and Hours of Service Supporting Documents,” (80 FR 78292) that established 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. 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. A motor carrier required to use an ELD must use only an ELD that is listed on FMCSA’s registered ELD list, accessible through the Agency’s Web site in accordance with 49 CFR 395.22. ELD providers are required to self-certify and register their devices with FMCSA online via an application Form MCSA-5893, “Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Vendor Registration and Certification.” Once completed, FMCSA will issue a unique identification number that the provider will embed in their device(s). The collection is mandatory reporting, where the ELD providers are expected report four times a year and will register an average of 2 devices. FMCSA maintains a list on their website of the current ELD vendors and devices that have been certified (by the vendors) to meet the technical specifications. The information is necessary for fleets and drivers to easily find a compliant ELD for their use in meeting the FMCSA regulation requiring the use of ELDs. Estimates of the number of respondents and responses has resulted in a program adjustment increase of an estimated annual 19 respondents, a decrease of 318 responses, and a decrease of 79 burden hours.
