Abstract: This ICR is due to the Agency's development of a Final Rule entitled "Unified Registration System" that would require those entities which are subject to the FMCSA's licensing, registration and certification regulations to use the application form entitled Form MCSA-1, "FMCSA Registration/Update(s)." Every interstate motor carrier operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) is required to register with FMCSA to obtain a USDOT Number. Most for-hire carriers are also required to file a separate application for operating authority under 49 U.S.C. 13901. This MCSA-1 form will replace existing Forms MCS-150, MCS-150B, MCS-150C and most forms in the OP-1 series (OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), OP-1NNA, and OP-2). This rule will streamline the collection and eliminate the need for motor carriers to file the same information on multiple forms.
