SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Annual Report of Class I and
Class II Motor Carriers of Property
(formerly OMB Control Number 2139–
0004).
New OMB Control Number: 2126–
0032.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Class I and Class II
Motor Carriers of Property and
Household Goods.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
308.
Estimated Time per Response: 9
hours.
Expiration Date: January 31, 2016.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
2,772 hours [308 respondents × 9 hours
to complete form = 2,772].
Background: Section 14123 of title 49
of the United States Code (U.S.C.)
requires certain for-hire motor carriers
of property and household goods to file
annual financial reports. The annual
reporting program was implemented on
December 24, 1938 (3 FR 3158), and it
was subsequently transferred from the
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)
to the Secretary of the U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT) on January 1,
1996. The Secretary of DOT transferred
the authority to administer this program
to DOT’s Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS) on December 17, 1996
(61 FR 68162). Annual financial reports
are filed on Form M (for-hire property
carriers, including household goods
carriers) and Form MP–1 (for-hire
passenger carriers). Responsibility for
collection of the reports was transferred
from BTS to FMCSA on August 17, 2004
(69 FR 51009), and the regulations were
redesignated as 49 CFR part 369 on
August 10, 2006 (71 FR 45740). FMCSA
has continued to collect carriers’ annual
reports and to furnish copies of the
reports requested under the Freedom of
information Act. 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
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

PO 00000

Frm 00091

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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
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.
Public Comments Invited: FMCSA
requests that you comment on any
aspect of this information collection,
including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for FMCSA to
perform its functions, (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden, (3) ways for the
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 summarize
or include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.
Issued under the authority delegated in 49
CFR 1.87 on: October 26, 2015.

Associate Administrator, Office of Research
and Information Technology.
