Agency Information Collection Activities; Information Collection Renewal: Crash Causal Factors Program: Knowledge of Systems and Processes

Résumé

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA requests approval to renew an information collection request (ICR) titled, Crash Causal Factors Program: Knowledge of Systems and Processes." This ICR relates to the "Study of Commercial Motor Vehicle Crash Causation," mandated by Congress in the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act (IIJA). To meet Congressional requirements, FMCSA established the Crash Causal Factors Program (CCFP) to conduct in-depth research to better understand the key factors that contribute to crashes involving large trucks and buses. Phase 1 of the CCFP, the Heavy-Duty Truck Study, focuses on fatal crashes involving heavy-duty (Class 7/8) trucks. This ICR renewal covers Phase 2, the Medium-Duty Truck Study, which will focus on crashes involving medium-duty (Class 3 through 6) trucks. To plan and execute the Medium-Duty Truck 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 commercial motor vehicle (CMV) enforcement funding mechanisms and sources. The IC is scheduled to expire on A
