SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Section 14123 of title 49
of the United States Code (U.S.C.)
requires certain for-hire motor carriers
of property, passengers, and household
goods to file annual financial reports.
The annual reporting program was
implemented on December 24, 1938 (3
FR 3158), and it was subsequently
transferred from the Interstate
Commerce Commission (ICC) to the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s (DOT)
Bureau of Transportation Statistics
(BTS) on January 1, 1996. The Secretary
of Transportation delegated to BTS the
responsibility for the program on
December 17, 1996 (61 FR 68162).
Annual financial reports are filed on
Form M (Class I and II for-hire property
carriers, including household goods
carriers) and Form MP–1 (Class I forhire passenger carriers). Responsibility
for collection of the reports was
transferred from BTS to FMCSA on
August 17, 2004 (69 FR 51009), and the
regulations were redesignated as 49 CFR
part 369 on August 10, 2006 (71 FR
45740). FMCSA collects carriers’ annual
reports and furnishes copies of the
reports when requested under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
For-hire motor carriers (including
interstate and intrastate) subject to the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations are classified on the basis of
their gross carrier operating revenues.1
1 For purposes of the Financial and Operating
Statistics (F&OS) program, carriers are classified
into the following three groups: (1) Class I carriers
are those having annual carrier operating revenues
(including interstate and intrastate) of $10 million
or more after applying the revenue deflator formula
as set forth in Note A of 49 CFR 369.2; and (2) Class
II carriers are those having annual carrier operating
revenues (including interstate and intrastate) of at
least $3 million, but less than $10 million after

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 76 / Monday, April 20, 2020 / Notices
Under the Financial and Operating
Statistics (F&OS) program, FMCSA
collects from Class I and Class II for-hire
motor carriers balance sheet and income
statement data along with information
on safety needs, tonnage, mileage,
employees, transportation equipment,
and other related data. FMCSA is also
authorized to ask carriers to respond to
surveys concerning their operations.
The data and information collected is
publicly available through FOIA
requests. FMCSA has created electronic
forms that may be prepared, signed
electronically, and submitted to FMCSA
via https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/.
Title: Annual Report of Class I and
Class II For-Hire Motor Carriers.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0032.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Class I and Class II ForHire Motor Carriers of Property and
Class I For-Hire Motor Carriers of
Passengers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
128 total (42.7 per year, over three
years).
Estimated Time per Response: 9 hours
for Form M and 0.3 hours for Form MP–
1.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2020.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
384.3 hours [384.3 hours (Form M) + 0
hours (Form MP–1)].
Estimated annual respondents for
Form M decreased from 96 in the
previously approved ICR to 42.7 in the
current ICR. Estimated annual burden
hours for Form M decreased by 479.7
hours [384.3 proposed hours ¥ 864
currently approved hours = ¥479.7
hours]. Estimated annual respondents
for Form MP–1 decreased from 2 in the
previously approved ICR to 0 in the
current ICR. Estimated annual burden
hours for Form MP–1 decreased by 1
hour [0 proposed hours ¥ 1 currently
approved hour = ¥1 hour] for Form
MP–1. These changes are due to
decreased numbers of Form M and Form
MP–1 submissions received by the
Agency between 2016 and 2018, which
has resulted in lower estimates of
annual respondents/responses for the
upcoming information collection
period.
Labor costs to industry have
decreased by $22,040.15, annually
[$16,770.85 in proposed costs ¥
$38,811 currently approved costs =
¥$22,040.15]. This is due to the
decreased estimates of annual
respondents/responses. Other annual
applying the revenue deflator formula as set forth
in 49 CFR 369.2.

costs to respondents (i.e., associated
with mailing completed forms to
FMCSA) have decreased by $55.30
[($42.70 in proposed mailing costs for
Form M + $0 in proposed mailing costs
for Form MP–1) ¥ ($96 in previously
approved mailing costs for Form M + $2
in previously approved mailing costs for
Form MP–1) = ¥$55.30]. This change is
also due to the decreased estimates of
annual respondents/responses.
For the Federal Government, annual
costs have decreased by $93.73 [$73.27
in proposed costs ¥ $167 in previously
approved costs = ¥$93.73]. This
decrease is due to the decreased
estimates of annual respondents/
responses, which results in fewer forms
to process.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to 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.
