Description

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) plans to submit a request to renew an Information Collection Request (ICR) titled "Training Certification for Drivers of Longer Combination Vehicles." This ICR involves requirements for drivers to be certified to operate longer combination vehicles (LCVs) and mandates motor carriers to maintain and produce LCV Driver-Training Certificates upon inquiry by authorized officials. The renewal does not introduce new requirements but reflects an increase in estimated burden hours due to industry growth. Comments on this notice must be received by June 1, 2026.
