FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Background
The Annual Report of Class I and
Class II Motor Carriers of Property
(Form M) is a mandated reporting
requirement for all for-hire motor
carriers (See 49 U.S.C. 14123; and
implementing FMCSA regulations at 49
CFR part 369). Motor carriers (including
interstate and intrastate) subject to the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations are classified on the basis of
their gross carrier operating revenues.1
Under the Financial and Operating
Statistics (F&OS) program, FMCSA
collects from Class I and Class II
property carriers balance sheet and
income statement data along with
information on safety needs, tonnage,
mileage, employees, transportation
equipment, and other related data.
FMCSA may also ask carriers to respond
to surveys concerning their operations.
The data and information collected

srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

1 For

purposes of the Financial and Operating
Statistics (F&OS) program, carriers are classified
into the following three groups: (1) Class I carriers
are those having annual carrier operating revenues
(including interstate and intrastate) of $10 million
or more after applying the revenue deflator formula
as set forth in Note A of 49 CFR 369.2; (2) Class
II carriers are those having annual carrier operating
revenues (including interstate and intrastate) of at
least $3 million, but less than $10 million after
applying the revenue deflator formula as set forth
in 49 CFR 369.2; and (3) Class III carriers are those
having annual carrier operating revenues (including
interstate and intrastate) of less than $3 million
after applying the revenue deflator formula as set
forth in Note A of 49 CFR 369.2.

would be made publicly available and
used by FMCSA to determine a motor
carrier’s compliance with the F&OS
program requirements prescribed at
chapter III of title of 49 CFR part 369.
The regulations were formerly
administered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and later
transferred to the Secretary on January
1, 1996, by section 103 of the ICC
Termination Act of 1995 (Pub. L.104–
88, 109 Stat. 803 (Dec. 29, 1995)), now
codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123. 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 part of the
Research and Innovative Technology
Administration (RITA), to former
chapter XI, subchapter B 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 mission and its
other motor carrier responsibilities (69
FR 51009). On August 10, 2006, the
Secretary published a final rule (71 FR
45740) that transferred and redesignated
certain motor carrier financial and
statistical reporting regulations of BTS,
that were formerly located at chapter XI,
subchapter B of title 49 CFR part 1420,
to FMCSA under chapter III of title 49
CFR part 369.
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.
Issued on: August 13, 2012.

Associate Administrator for Office of
Research and Information Technology.
