NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD


Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency 
Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    The National Transportation Safety Board intends to submit the 
following (see below) emergency processing public information 
collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and clearance under the paperwork reduction Act of 1995 
(P.L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB approval is being requested 
concurrently with this submission. A copy of this individual ICR, with 
applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by calling the 
National Transportation Safety Board Departmental Clearance Officer, 
Larry Crabill (202) 314-6224. Comments and questions about the ICR 
listed below should be directed to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the National 
Transportation Safety Board, Office of Management and Budget, Room 
10102,725 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20503.
    Agency: National Transportation Safety Board.
    Title: Intrastate Truck Study Questionnaire.
    OMB Number: New.
    Frequency: Once.
    Affected Public: Commercial Motor Carriers.
    Number of Respondents: 3000.
    Estimated time per respondent: 30 minutes.
    Total Burden Hours: 1500.
    Description: The National Transportation Safety Board is currently 
conducting a study examining intrastate motor carrier operations and 
their impact on transportation safety. Commercial motor carriers 
transport cargo billions of mile each year. Each trip is considered 
either intrastate or interstate commerce based on the destination of 
the cargo being transported. While interstate operations are subject to 
federal regulations, intrastate operations are subject to the laws and 
regulations of the State in which they occur. There is limited data 
available regarding intrastate trucking operations and the absence of 
such data makes it impossible to identify its impact on safety.
    Therefore, the National Transportation Safety Board is seeking 
clearance to obtain data from motor carriers to evaluate the safety of 
intrastate operations.

    Dated: December 21, 1998.
