Feds Study How to Catch Impaired Drivers Without Commercial Licenses

## Summary

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is starting a new study to find better ways to stop and catch drug and alcohol violations among commercial drivers who don’t have a commercial driver’s license. This affects state agencies that help enforce these rules and aims to improve safety on the roads. Comments on this plan are open until August 21, 2026, with no immediate costs announced.

## Abstract

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR) described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval and invites public comment. This notice invites comments on a proposed information collection titled "Techniques for Preventing and Enforcing Controlled Substance and Alcohol Violations Among Non-CDL Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers." This research study will collect data from State partner agency representatives to assess ways to address controlled substance and alcohol violations among non- commercial driver's license (CDL) commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers and improve abilities to prevent, detect, and enforce these violations.
