Agency Information Collection Activities; New Information Collection: Hours of Service of Drivers; Pilot Program To Allow Commercial Drivers To Split Sleeper Berth Time In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (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 Hours of Service of Drivers: Pilot Program to Allow Commercial Drivers to Split Sleeper Berth Time. This research study will collect data on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers to examine whether more-flexible sleeper berth (FSB) options improve the working conditions and quality of life of America's truck drivers and result in an equivalent or greater level of safety relative to operations under the current regulations. Approximately 256 CMV drivers will provide data in the study. The study will provide FMCSA with data to examine driver fatigue and driving performance while operating under current hours of service (HOS) regulations and while operating under FSB exemptions.
