Abstract: This information collection request is being revised due to a NPRM entitled "Elimination of Route Designation Requirement for Motor Carriers Transporting Passenger Over Regular Routes." The NPRM proposes to eliminate the FMCSA requirement for applicants seeking authority to transport passengers over regular routes to submit a detailed description and a map of the route(s) over which they request to operate.
