hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Motor Carrier Identification
Report.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0013.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Motor carriers,
commercial motor vehicle drivers, and
intermodal equipment providers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
447,109.
Estimated Time per Response: To
complete Form MCS–150, motor carriers
will need 20 minutes the first time they
file this report and 7.5 minutes for the
biennial update. To complete Form
MCS–150B (HM Safety Permit
Application), interstate HM carriers that
have already completed the Form MCS–
150 will need 6 minutes to complete
this report and intrastate HM carriers
that have never completed a Form
MCS–150 will need about 16 minutes to
complete it and 5 minutes for the
biennial update. Form MCS–150C—
Intermodal Equipment Providers will
need 20 minutes the first time they file
this report and 7.5 minutes for the
biennial update.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2012.
Frequency of Response: Biennially.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
93,792 hours [93,534 hours for Form
MCS–150 + 249 hours for Form MCS–
150B + 9 hours for Form MCS–150C =
93,792 hours].
Background: Title 49, United States
Code Section 504(b)(2) provides the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary)
with authority to require carriers,
lessors, associations, or classes of these
entities to file annual, periodic, and
special reports containing answers to
questions asked by the Secretary. The
Secretary may also prescribe the form of
records required to be prepared or
compiled and the time period during
which records must be preserved (See
§ 504(b)(1) and (d)). The FMCSA will
use this data to administer its safety
programs by establishing a database of
entities that are subject to its
regulations. This database necessitates
that these entities notify the FMCSA of
their existence. For example, under 49
CFR 390.19(a), FMCSA requires all
motor carriers beginning operations to
file a Form MCS–150 entitled, ‘‘Motor
Carrier Identification Report.’’ This
report is filed by all motor carriers
conducting operations in interstate or
international commerce before
beginning operations. It asks the

respondent to provide the name of the
business entity that owns and controls
the motor carrier operation, address and
telephone of principal place of business,
assigned identification number(s), type
of operation, types of cargo usually
transported, number of vehicles owned,
term leased and trip leased, driver
information, and certification statement
signed by an individual authorized to
sign documents on behalf of the
business entity.
The Department of Transportation
(DOT) and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2002
(DOT Appropriations Act) (Pub. L. 107–
87, 115 Stat. 833) directed the agency to
issue an interim final rule (IFR) to
ensure that new entrant motor carriers
are knowledgeable about the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) and standards.
On June 30, 2004, the agency issued
a final rule entitled, ‘‘Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Regulations: Hazardous
Materials Safety Permits,’’ (69 FR 39350)
which required all HM carriers (both
interstate and intrastate) to complete
and file the Form MCS–150B entitled,
‘‘Combined Motor Carrier Identification
Report and HM Permit Application,’’ to
obtain a safety permit to transport
hazardous materials. The safety program
under 49 CFR 390.19(a) also requires all
HM permitted carriers to complete Form
MCS–150B in place of the current Form
MCS–150 to ‘‘renew’’ both their permit
and their DOT numbers according to the
DOT number renewal schedule.
On December 17, 2008, FMCSA
issued a final rule entitled,
‘‘Requirements for Intermodal
Equipment Providers and for Motor
Carriers and Drivers Operating
Intermodal Equipment,’’ (73 FR 76794)
which required all intermodal
equipment providers to complete Form
MCS–150C entitled, ‘‘Intermodal
Equipment Provider Identification
Report’’ in order to register with the
Agency and receive a USDOT number.
FMCSA now regulates intermodal
equipment providers and requires them
to complete Form MCS–150C, instead of
the current Form MCS–150. In addition,
intermodal equipment providers must
complete Form MCS–150C to update
their USDOT number record according
to the USDOT number update schedule
in 49 CFR 390.19.
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 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.
