This information collection request
(ICR) is used to enable the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) to document the burden associated with the
marking regulations codified in 49 CFR part 390.21. It is being
revised due to a Final Rule, entitled, " Lease and Interchange of
Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers," which will modify how
leased and interchanged passenger-carrying vehicles operated by
for-hire and private motor carriers of passengers must be
marked.
US Code:
49
USC 31133 Name of Law: General Powers of the Secretary of
Transportation
This program change increase of
196,000 estimated annual burden hours [851,000 proposed estimated
annual burden hours - 655,000 approved estimated annual burden
hours =196,000] is due to program requirements in a final rule
entitled, "Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of
Passengers." The final rule adds leasing and new marking
requirements for buses and motorcoaches. These new regulations will
require certain for-hire motor carriers of passengers to
temporarily mark buses and motorcoaches on the curb side of the
vehicle when leasing equipment.
