Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 239 / Monday, December 14, 2015 / Notices

Estimated Total Annual Burden:
31,271 hours [31,123 hours for Form
MCS–150 + 146 hours for Form MCA–
150B + 2 hours for Form MCS–150C =
31,271].
Background: Title 49, United States
Code Section 504(b)(2) provides the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary)
with authority to require carriers,
lessors, associations, or classes of these
entities to file annual, periodic, and
special reports containing answers to
questions asked by the Secretary. The
Secretary may also prescribe the form of
records required to be prepared or
compiled and the time period during
which records must be preserved (See
§ 504(b)(1) and (d)). The FMCSA will
use this data to administer its safety
programs by establishing a database of
entities that are subject to its
regulations. This database necessitates
that these entities notify the FMCSA of
their existence. For example, under 49
CFR 390.19(a), FMCSA requires all
motor carriers beginning operations to
file a Form MCS–150 entitled, Motor
Carrier Identification Report.’’ This
report is filed by all motor carriers
conducting operations in interstate or
international commerce before
beginning operations. It asks the
respondent to provide the name of the
business entity that owns and controls
the motor carrier operation, address and
telephone of principal place of business,
assigned identification number(s), type
of operation, types of cargo usually
transported, number of vehicles owned,
term leased and trip leased, driver
information, and certification statement
signed by an individual authorized to
sign documents on behalf of the
business entity.
The Department of Transportation
and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act for fiscal year 2002, Public Law
107–87, 115 Stat. 833, dated December
18, 2001, directed the agency to issue an
interim final rule (IFR) to ensure that
new entrant motor carriers are
knowledgeable about the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs)
and standards. On May 13, 2002, the
agency published an IFR titled, ‘‘New
Entrant Safety Assurance Process’’ (67
FR 31978).
On August, 23, 2013, the agency
published a Final Rule titled, ‘‘Unified
Registration System,’’ (URS) which
requires interstate motor carriers, freight
forwarders, brokers, intermodal
equipment providers, hazardous
materials safety permit applicants, and
cargo tank facilities to file for
registration via a new online Form
MCSA–1. The Form MCSA–1 will
replace the existing Forms MCS–150B
and MCS–150C in this ICR. However,

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:36 Dec 11, 2015

Jkt 238001

the Form MCS–150 will be retained for
the small number of Mexico-domiciled
carriers that seek authority to operate
beyond the United States municipalities
on the United States-Mexico border and
their commercial zones because they are
not included within the scope of the
URS Final Rule.
On October 21, 2015, the agency
issued a Final Rule titled, ‘‘Unified
Registration System,’’ (80 FR 63695)
which changed the effective and
compliance dates of the 2013 URS Final
Rule in order to allow FMCSA
additional time to complete the
information technology (IT) systems
work required to fully implement that
rule. This change will require the
continued use of the Forms MCS–150,
MCS–150B and MCS–150C in this ICR
until September 30, 2016, because these
forms are still needed to support
registration processes for entities subject
to FMCSA’s regulations. After this date,
all forms except the MCS–150 in this
ICR will be folded into the Form
MCSA–1 in the OMB Control Number
2126–0051 titled, ‘‘FMCSA Registration/
Updates,’’ ICR. The Form MCS–150 will
be retained for the small number of
Mexico-domiciled carriers that seek
authority to operate beyond the United
States municipalities on the U.S.Mexico border because they are not
included in the scope of the URS. This
revised ICR captures the burden due to
the use of the Form MCS–150B and
Form MCS–150C until September 30,
2016, and the use of the Form MCS–150
by the Mexico-domiciled carriers after
the implementation of the URS Final
Rule.
On August 21, 2015, FMCSA
published a Federal Register notice
allowing for a 60-day comment period
on this ICR. The agency received one
comment in response to this notice. The
anonymous commenter only stated
‘‘Good.’’ The FMCSA in response agrees
with the anonymous commenter.
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.
