Motor Carriers Face Data-Collection Burden
FMCSA will collect schedule, crash, and inspection data from about 60 motor carriers. The agency estimates 60 respondents, 15 minutes (0.25 hours) per response, and a total annual burden of 45 hours; IC1 and IC2 are one-time tasks and IC3 is quarterly. Comments are due by May 20, 2026, and the proposed OMB Control Number is 2126-00XX.
Collected Driver Data Will Be Deidentified
FMCSA’s contractor will produce a publicly available, deidentified dataset housed in the FMCSA Data Repository; all personally identifiable information will be removed and privacy protections used, and the dataset will be provided after applicable State and Federal statutes of limitations have expired.
