Type of Request: Revision of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Class I Motor Carriers of
Property.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
120.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.8
hours (27 minutes per quarter).
Expiration Date: June 30, 2009.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 216
hours [120 respondents × 1.8 hours to
complete forms = 216].
Background: The Annual Report of
Class I and Class II Motor Carriers of
Property (Form M) and the Quarterly
Report of Class I Motor Carriers of
Property (Form QFR) are reporting
requirements for all for-hire motor
carriers. See 49 U.S.C. § 14123, and
implementing FMCSA regulations at 49
CFR part 369. The Secretary of
Transportation (Secretary) has exercised
his discretion under section 14123 to
also require Class I property carriers
(including dual-property carriers), Class
I household goods carriers and Class I
passenger carriers to file quarterly
reports. Motor carriers (including
interstate and intrastate) subject to the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations are classified on the basis of
their gross carrier operating revenues.1
Under the F&OS program, FMCSA
collects from Class I and Class II
property carriers balance sheet and
income statement data along with
information on safety needs, tonnage,
mileage, employees, transportation
equipment, and other related data.
FMCSA may also ask carriers to respond
to surveys concerning their operations.
The data and information collected
would be made publicly available and
used by FMCSA to determine a motor
carrier’s compliance with the F&OS
program requirements prescribed at
chapter III of title 49 CFR part 369.
The regulations were formerly
administered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and later
transferred to the Secretary on January
1, 1996, by section 103 of the ICC
Termination Act of 1995 (Pub. L.104–
88, 109 Stat. 803 (Dec. 29, 1995)), now
1 For purposes of the F&OS program, carriers are
classified into the following three groups: (1) Class
I carriers are those having annual carrier operating
revenues (including interstate and intrastate) of $10
million or more after applying the revenue deflator
formula as set forth in Note A of 49 CFR 369.2; (2)
Class II carriers are those having annual carrier
operating revenues (including interstate and
intrastate) of at least $3 million, but less than $10
million after applying the revenue deflator formula
as set forth in 49 CFR 369.2; and (3) Class III carriers
are those having annual carrier operating revenues
(including interstate and intrastate) of less than $3
million after applying the revenue deflator formula
as set forth in Note A of 49 CFR § 369.2.

codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123. On
September 30, 1998, the Secretary
delegated and transferred the authority
to administer the F&OS program to the
former Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS), now part of the
Research and Innovative Technology
Administration (RITA), to former
chapter XI, subchapter B of 49 CFR part
1420 (63 FR 52192).
On September 29, 2004, the Secretary
transferred the responsibility for the
F&OS program from BTS to FMCSA in
the belief that the program was more
aligned with FMCSA’s mission and its
other motor carrier responsibilities (69
FR 51009). On August 10, 2006, the
Secretary published a final rule (71 FR
45740) that transferred and redesignated
certain motor carrier financial and
statistical reporting regulations of BTS,
that were formerly located at chapter XI,
subchapter B of title 49 CFR part 1420,
to FMCSA under chapter III of title 49
CFR part 369.
On April 8, 2009, FMCSA published
a Federal Register notice on this same
topic and provided 60 days for public
comment (74 FR 16037). The Agency
received no comments to the docket in
response to this notice.
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 FMCSA to perform its
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways for the
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.
