SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background: For-hire Class I motor
carriers of passengers (including
interstate and intrastate) 1 are required
1 For purposes of the Financial & Operating
Statistics (F&OS) program, passenger carriers are
classified into the following two groups; (1) Class
I carriers are those having average annual gross
transportation operating revenues (including
interstate and intrastate) of $5 million or more from
passenger motor carrier operations after applying
the revenue deflator formula as shown in the Note

VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001

to file Motor Carrier Annual and
Quarterly Reports (Form MP–1) that
provide financial and operating data
(see 49 U.S.C. 14123; and implementing
FMCSA regulations at 49 CFR part 369).
The agency uses this information to
assess the health of the industry and
identify industry changes that may
affect national transportation policy.
The data also show company financial
stability and traffic patterns. Motor
carriers of passengers required to
comply with the regulations are
classified on the basis of their annual
gross carrier operating revenues. Under
the F&OS program the FMCSA collects
balance sheet and income statement
data along with information on tonnage,
mileage, employees, transportation
equipment, and other related data.
The data and information collected is
made publicly available as prescribed in
49 CFR part 369. Class I and Class II
motor carriers are required by 49 U.S.C.
14123 to file annual and quarterly
financial reports with the Secretary. The
Secretary has exercised his discretion
under section 14123 to also require
Class I property carriers (including dualproperty carriers), Class I household
goods carriers and Class I passengers
carriers to file quarterly reports.
Over the years, the regulations were
formerly administered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission (ICC), but the
ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA)
(Pub. L. 104–88, 109 Stat. 803 (Dec. 29,
1995); now codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123)
abolished the ICC and transferred the
responsibility for collecting and
disseminating motor carrier financial
information to the Secretary of
Transportation (Secretary). 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 a part of the
Research and Innovative Technology
Administration (RITA), to former
Chapter XI, subchapter 13 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 safety mission
and its other motor carrier
at 49 CFR 369.3; and (2) Class II passenger carriers
are those having average annual gross
transportation operating revenues (including
interstate and intrastate) of less than $5 million
from passenger motor carrier operations after
applying the revenue deflator formula as shown in
the Note at 49 CFR 369.3. Only Class I carriers of
passengers are required to file the Annual and
Quarterly Report Form MP–1. Class II passenger
carriers, however, must notify the agency when
there is a change in their classification or their
revenues exceed the Class II limit.

responsibilities (69 FR 51009). On
August 10, 2006 (71 FR 45740), the
Secretary published a final rule that
transferred and redesignated the motor
carrier financial and statistical reporting
regulations of BTS that were formerly
located at chapter XI of title 49 CFR to
FMCSA in 49 chapter III of title 49 CFR
part 369.
Title: Annual and Quarterly Report of
Class I Motor Carriers of Passengers
(formerly OMB Control Number 2139–
0003).
New OMB Control Number: 2126–
0031.
Type of Request: Revision and
renewal of a currently-approved
information collection request.
Respondents: Class I Motor Carriers of
Passengers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 6.
Estimated Time per Response: 18
minutes per response.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2009.
Frequency of Response: Annually and
quarterly.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 9
hours [30 responses × 18 minutes per
response/60 minutes = 9].
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for FMCSA to perform its
mission; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways for 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. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
