Abstract: This information collection's application forms are used by for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities, freight forwarders, property brokers, and certain Mexican motor carriers to register their operations with the FMCSA. It is being revised due to a final rulemaking entitled, "Elimination of Route Designation Requirement for Motor Carriers Transporting Passengers over Regular Routes," which will discontinue the requirement for motor carriers to submit a detailed description and map of the route(s) over which they operate.
