Abstract: This ICR is being renewed due to a Final Rule titled, “Unified Registration System; Correction” (81 FR 49553) dated July 28, 2016, (Attachment A) which changed the effective and compliance dates for the on-line Unified Registration System (URS) from September 30, 2016, to January 14, 2017 as the effective date, and April 14, 2017, as the date for full compliance. In this request, FMCSA is requesting that registration forms OP-1(NNA), OP-1(FF), OP-1, and OP-1(P), (which will be incorporated into new online Form MCSA-1, covered under OMB Control Number 2126-0051 titled, “FMCSA Registration/Updates,” ICR) to account for revisions to the effective and implementation dates of the URS, and that the OP-1(MX) which will not be eliminated, continue to be effective for the 3-year term until October 31, 2019.
