SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Vendor Registration.
OMB Control Number: 2126-0062.
Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: ELD vendors.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 94.
Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2025.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 71 hours [94 respondents × 1 device per respondent × 3 updates per device × 15 minutes per response].
Background: The ELD regulations in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B establish minimum performance and design standards for hours-of-service (HOS) ELDs; requirements for the mandatory use of these devices by drivers currently required to prepare HOS records of duty status (RODS); requirements concerning HOS supporting documents; and measures to address concerns about harassment resulting from the mandatory use of ELDs.
To ensure consistency among ELD vendors and devices, detailed functional specifications were published as part of a final rule published December 16, 2015 (80 FR 78292) and may currently be found in appendix A to subpart B of part 395, 49 CFR. Each ELD vendor developing an ELD technology must self-certify and register their devices online at a secure FMCSA website via Form MCSA-5893, "Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Vendor Registration and Certification." The ELD provider must certify that its ELD is compliant with the functional specifications. Each ELD vendor must certify that each ELD model and version has been sufficiently tested to meet the functional requirements in appendix A under the conditions in which the ELD will be used.
FMCSA expects 100 percent of respondents to submit their information electronically. Once completed, FMCSA issues a unique identification number that the ELD vendor will embed in their device(s). FMCSA maintains a list on its website of the current ELD vendors and devices that have been certified (by the vendors) to meet the functional specifications. The information is necessary for fleets and drivers to easily find a compliant ELD for meeting the requirements of the FMCSA regulations requiring the use of ELDs.
On January 8, 2025, FMCSA published a notice in the Federal Register (90 FR 1593) with a 60-day public comment period announcing its intent to renew the information collection. The Agency received one comment in response; however, the commenter did not address any specific aspects of the ICR or provide any indication that the request would be burdensome.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (1) whether the proposed collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. The Agency will summarize or include your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87.
Kenneth Riddle,
Acting Associate Administrator for Research, Technology and Registration.
