An NPRM (RIN 2126-AA34), "Application
by Certain Mexican Motor Carriers to Operate Beyond U.S.
Municipalities and Commercial Zones on the U.S.-Mexico Border"
proposes to revise regulations and the OP-1(MX) form. The estimates
in Blocks 13-14 reflect currently-approved burdens plus additional
effort required for the 1st year after the Final rules are in
effect (i.e., re- filings and initial new filings). Note that after
the 1st year of increased burdens, it is anticipated that there
would be a substantial decrease in the burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
