The USDOT number is used to identify all motor carriers in FMCSA's registration and information systems. It is also used by States as the key identifier in the Performance and Registration Information Systems Management system, a cooperative Federal/State program that makes motor carrier safety a requirement for obtaining and maintaining commercial motor vehicle registration and privileges. The marking requirements are mandatory and apply to freight-carrying commercial motor carriers (i.e., trucking companies), passenger-carrying commercial motor carriers, and intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) engaging in interstate transportation. The Agency provides performance-based requirements for the marking but does not require a specific method of marking as long as the method complies with FMCSA’s regulations. These requirements ensure that FMCSA, NTSB and the States are able to identify motor carriers and correctly assign responsibility for regulatory violations during inspections, investigations, compliance reviews, and crash studies. These requirements will also provide the public with beneficial information that could also assist in identifying carriers for the purposes of commerce, complaints or emergency notification. The appropriate marking of vehicles, owned, leased or rented, assists FMCSA in identifying motor carriers and monitoring the safety performance and crash involvement, thereby helping the Agency identify unsafe, high risk motor carriers. This ICR also greatly assists FMCSA and its State partners in meeting the standard burden of proof for enforcement actions against non-compliant carriers, as well as assists State partners during accident investigations in determining the responsible motor carrier involved in a CMV crash. The regulations include a marking requirement, which depending on the need and method could be permanent or temporary. Only enough information is collected to maintain tracking of intermodal equipment. The FMCSA NPRM and final rule titled “Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers,” to be published, amends the existing regulations in 49 CFR part 390 regarding the lease and interchange of passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), including how leased and interchanged passenger-carrying vehicles must be marked. In doing so, this NPRM and final rule affects the burden associated with this existing currently approved ICR. FMCSA needs to update the annual burden for CMV marking requirements due to changes resulting from the NPRM and final rule “Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers,” to be published, which removes the temporary marking requirement for leased passenger-carrying CMVs.

There is a change of 75,225 more responses, 38,699 more burden hours, and an additional $7,873,184 due to adjustment in agency estimate. The adjustment portion of the total change in burden is the result of factors other than deliberate Agency action, and may include, for example, changes resulting from the availability of new or improved data, the use of enhanced analysis or estimation methodologies, or the correction of arithmetic or other errors made previously when calculating the burden for the currently approved information collection. There is a change of $35,776 less due to change in Agency discretion. The program change is the result of deliberate Agency action, in this case the new NPRM and final rule “Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers” to be published, that is the basis for this ICR revision. There is a small reduction in cost burden of $35,776 due to program change, resulting from the elimination of the requirement for temporary marking of leased passenger-carrying CMVs under the new NPRM and final rule.
