SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Centre Region Metropolitan Planning
Organization initiated an EIS with a
Notice of Intent published in the
Federal Register on June 9, 1999, at 64
FR 31034, to identify and evaluate
alternatives to address transportation
problems within the southern central
Centre County area. The proposed
project would involve improvements to
transportation conditions on the U.S.
322, PA 144, PA 45 and the local road
systems, between Potters Mills, Pleasant
Gap, and Boalsburg in south central
Centre County.
Improvements for this corridor were
considered necessary to provide for the
existing and projected traffic demands.
A needs study was undertaken and a
range of transportation alternatives,
including but not limited to No-Build,
Transportation Systems Management
(TSM) strategies, upgrading existing
facilities, and New Alignment
alternatives were developed consistent
with land use strategies to address the
identified transportation needs. The
development of alternatives was based
on traffic demands, engineering
requirements, environmental and

pertaining to these registration
requirements to FMCSA in 49 CFR
1.73(a)(5).
Registered motor carriers, brokers and
freight forwarders must designate an
agent on whom service of notices in
proceedings before the Secretary may be
made (49 U.S.C. 13303). Registered
motor carriers must also designate an
agent for every State in which they
operate and traverse in the United States
during such operations, agents on whom
process issued by a court may be served
in actions brought against the registered
motor carrier (49 U.S.C. 13304, 49 CFR
366.4T). Every broker shall make a
designation for each State in which its
offices are located or in which contracts
are written (49 U.S.C. 13304, 49 CFR
366.4T). Regulations governing the
designation of process agents are found
at 49 CFR part 366. This designation is
filed with FMCSA on Form BOC–3,
‘‘Designation of Agents for Service of
Process.’’ The program decrease in
annual burden hours from 18,395 to
6,508 is due to a revised estimate of the
number of respondents and responses.
Title: Designation of Agents, Motor
Carriers, Brokers and Freight
Forwarders.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0015.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Motor carriers, freight
forwarders and brokers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
39,047.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes.
Expiration Date: January 31, 2020.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Form BOC–3 must be filed by all motor
carriers, freight forwarders and brokers
when the transportation entity first
registers with the FMCSA. All brokers
must make a designation for each State
in which it has an office or in which
contracts are written. Subsequent filings
are made only if the motor carrier,
broker or freight forwarder changes
process agents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
6,508 hours [39,047 respondents × 10
minutes per response].
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways for
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Public Comments Received
On May 2, 2019, FMCSA published a
notice in the Federal Register Docket
Number: FMCSA–2018–0356 with a 60day public comment period to announce
information collection request for the
Transportation Household Goods,
Consumer Protection.
One commenter responded, the
American Moving & Storage Association
(AMSA). Three of AMSA’s comments
pertained to Household Goods
Consumer Protection Working Group
recommendations. The Working Group’s
report is currently under consideration
in the Agency’s concurrence process,
therefore FMCSA has made no changes
to the proposed renewal.
A fourth AMSA comment concerned
weighing of shipments. AMSA
indicated that weighing a shipment is
required on non-binding estimates as
outlined in 49 CFR part 375.507 and is
used to determine the final charges for
the load. However, if transit to the
nearest weigh station is considered, this
is a significant underestimation as
scales in some parts of the country can
be up to 30–40 miles away. More study
should be required to determine the
accurate time burden of this data
collection. FMCSA does not have
additional information to revise our
estimate at this time.
Title: Transportation of Household
Goods, Consumer Protection.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0025.
Type of Request: Renewal Collection.
Respondents: Household Goods
Movers and Consumers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,212 household goods movers.
Estimated Time per Response: Varies
depending on task.
Expiration Date: August 31, 2019.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
4,282,171 hours [Informational
documents provided to prospective
shippers at 24,692 hours + Written Cost
estimates for prospective shippers at
3,5933,866 hours + Service orders, bills
of lading at 621,621 hours + In-transit
