SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: May
marks the start of the summer moving
season. Thousands of households
nationwide will be contemplating or
arranging for the interstate
transportation of household goods.
Although this time is exciting for many
households, it can also be a stressful
time during which unscrupulous
movers and brokers attempt to take
advantage of individuals’ vulnerabilities
and lack of experience.
To better inform individual
households of their rights and
responsibilities when planning an
interstate move and help prevent them
from becoming victims of moving fraud,
FMCSA makes consumer protection
information available to the public on
its Web site: www.protectyourmove.gov.
FMCSA also requires all interstate
household goods movers and brokers to
provide prospective customers with a
copy of or an electronic link to two
consumer protection publications:
Ready to Move?—Tips for a Successful
Interstate Move and Your Rights and
Responsibilities When You Move (see 49
CFR 375.213).
Effective today, FMCSA makes
available a streamlined and more userfriendly version of Your Rights and
Responsibilities When You Move at
http://www.protectyourmove.gov/
consumer/awareness/rights/rights.htm.
Movers and brokers may elect to use
either the longer version currently in
use (see 49 CFR part 375, Appendix A)
or the new streamlined version made
available today on FMCSA’s Web site.
FMCSA intends to publish a Federal
Register notice of proposed rulemaking
at a later date soliciting comments on
the new streamlined Your Rights and
Responsibilities When You Move
booklet. In the interim, and until
FMCSA provides further notice, movers
and brokers may provide prospective
customers with either version in
accordance with today’s guidance.
FMCSA will not take enforcement
action against household goods motor

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Census of Ferry
Operators (NCFO).
Background: The Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA–
21) (Pub. L. 105–178), section 1207(c),
directed the Secretary of Transportation
to conduct a study of ferry
transportation in the United States and
its possessions. In 2000, the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) Office
of Intermodal and Statewide Planning
conducted a survey of approximately
250 ferry operators to identify: (1)
Existing ferry operations including the
location and routes served; (2) source
and amount, if any, of funds derived
from Federal, State, or local
governments supporting ferry
construction or operations; (3) potential
domestic ferry routes in the United
States and its possessions and to
develop information on those routes;
and (4) potential for use of high speed
ferry services and alternative-fueled
ferry services. The Safe, Accountable,
Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity
Act—A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–
LU) Public Law 109–59, Section
1801(e)) required the Secretary, acting

through the BTS, to establish and
maintain a national ferry database
containing current information
regarding routes, vessels, passengers
and vehicles carried, funding sources
and such other information as the
Secretary considers useful.
This same legislation also required
biennial updating of the database. BTS
conducted the first Census of Ferry
Operators in 2006, 2008 and again in
2010. Recently enacted MAP–21
legislation [Moving Ahead for Progress
in the 21st Century Act (Pub. L. 112–
141)], continues the BTS mandate to
conduct the NCFO and requires that the
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) use the NCFO data to set the
specific formula for allocating federal
ferry funds ($67 million in 2013 and
2014). The funding allocations are based
on a percentage of the number of
passenger boardings, vehicle boardings,
and route miles served. The MAP–21
legislation also requires that BTS make
additional changes to the NCFO
questionnaire to ensure that the
resulting database is consistent with the
National Transit Database maintained
by the Federal Transit Administration
(FTA). As a result, BTS has removed
census questions that were no longer
specifically mandated (e.g., peak
boarding times, etc.) and added more
detailed items about the core
infrastructure of the ferry operations
themselves. The overall length of the
revised questionnaire remains
consistent with that of previous years.
The survey will be administered to
the entire population of ferry operators
(estimate 260 or less). The survey will
request the respondents to provide
information such as: The points served;
the type of ownership; the number of
passengers and vehicles carried in the
past 12 months; vessel descriptions
(including type of fuel), and intermodal
connectivity. All data collected in 2013
will be added to the existing NCFO
database.
Respondents: The target population
for the survey will be all of the
approximately 260 operators of existing
ferry services in the United States.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The burden per respondent is
estimated to be an average of 30
minutes. This average is based on an
estimate of 20 minutes to answer new
questions and an additional 10 minutes
to review (and revise as needed)
previously submitted data.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
total annual burden (in the year that the
survey is conducted) is estimated to be
approximately 130 hours (that is 30
minutes per respondent for 260
respondents equals 7,800 minutes).

Frequency: This survey will be
updated every other year.
Public Comments Invited: Interested
parties are invited to send comments
regarding any aspect of this information
collection, including, but not limited to:
(1) The necessity and utility of the
information collection for the proper
performance of the functions of the
DOT; (2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, clarity and content of the
collected information; and (4) ways to
minimize the collection burden without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB’s clearance of this
information collection.
