described below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for its
review and approval and invites public
comment. FMCSA requests approval to
revise an ICR titled ‘‘Practices of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: FMCSA, in response to
Title IV, Subtitle B of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient,
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59)
and a petition for rulemaking from the
American Moving and Storage
Association (AMSA), amended 49 CFR
part 371, existing regulations for
brokers, with a Final Rule titled,
‘‘Brokers of Household Goods
Transportation by Motor Vehicles’’ (75
FR 72987), November 29, 2010,
providing additional consumer
protection responsibilities for brokers of
HHG.
Section 4212 of SAFETEA–LU directs
the Secretary to require HHG brokers to
provide individual shippers with the
following information whenever a
broker has contact with a shipper or
potential shipper:
1. The broker’s USDOT number.
2. The FMCSA booklet titled ‘‘Your
Rights and Responsibilities When You
Move.’’
3. A list of all authorized motor
carriers providing transportation of
HHG used by the broker and a statement
that the broker is not a motor carrier
providing transportation of HHG.
FMCSA, as the result of a rulemaking
that took effect November 29, 2010,
amended 49 CFR part 371 by adding
subpart B, specific consumer protection
requirements for HHG brokers. The

collection of information required by
this rulemaking assist shippers in their
business dealings with interstate HHG
brokers. The information collected is
used by prospective shippers to make
informed decisions about contracts,
services ordered, executed, and settled.
The HHG broker is often the primary
contact for individual shippers and in
the best position to educate shippers
and prepare them for a successful move.
The information collected makes that
possible. To combat deceptive business
practices this helps enforcement
personnel to better protect consumers
by verifying that shippers are receiving
information they are entitled to by
regulation.
HHG brokers are required to provide
individual shippers the ‘‘Your Rights
and Responsibilities When You Move’’
booklet and the ‘‘Ready to Move’’
brochure. They have the option of
providing paper copies or presenting the
information through a link on their
Internet Web site. The broker is required
to document with signed receipts that
the individual shipper was provided
those materials. HHG brokers are also
required to provide the list of HHG
motor carriers for which it would
arrange transportation to move a
potential individual shipper’s HHG, and
that broker’s identification information:
1. Assigned USDOT number; and
2. Address.
Title: Practices of Household Goods
Brokers.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0048.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.

Goods.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
690.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes per day × 240 workdays for
household goods broker transactions.
Expiration Date: February 28, 2014.

89,607 hours.
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 performance of
FMCSA’s 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. The agency will reference
your comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
