SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Title 49, United States
Code Section 504(b)(2) provides the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary)
with authority to require carriers,
lessors, associations, or classes of these
entities to file annual, periodic, and
special reports containing answers to
questions asked by the Secretary. The
Secretary may also prescribe the form of

PO 00000

Frm 00093

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

71705

records required to be prepared or
compiled and the time period during
which records must be preserved (See
§ 504(b)(1) and (d)). FMCSA will use
this data to administer its safety
programs using a database of entities
that are subject to its regulations. This
database necessitates that these entities
notify FMCSA of their existence. For
example, under 49 CFR 390.19(a),
FMCSA requires all motor carriers
beginning operations to file a Form
MCS–150 titled, ‘‘Motor Carrier
Identification Report,’’ or MCS–150B
titled, ‘‘Combined Motor Carrier
Identification Report and HM Permit
Applications.’’ This report is filed by all
motor carriers conducting operations in
interstate, intrastate transporting
hazardous materials or international
commerce before beginning operations.
It asks the respondent to provide the
name of the business entity that owns
and controls the motor carrier operation;
address and telephone of principal
place of business; assigned
identification number(s), type of
operation, types of cargo usually
transported; number of vehicles owned,
term leased and trip leased; driver
information; and certification statement
signed by an individual authorized to
sign documents on behalf of the
business entity. Existing applicants will
use the MCS–150 or MCS–150B to
update their information in the Motor
Carrier Management Information
System. Applicants filing for the first
time will be required to file on-line.
Form MCS–150 or MCS–150B will be
used for Mexico-domiciled carriers that
seek authority to operate beyond the
United States municipalities on the
United States-Mexico border and their
commercial zones. The information
collected from the respondents is
readily available to the public. This
revised ICR captures the burden of
continued use of the MCS–150 or MCS–
150B for motor carriers updating their
registration information and for the
registration of Mexico-domiciled
carriers.
Title: Motor Carrier Identification
Report.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0013.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Motor carriers, freight
forwarders, intermodal equipment
providers, brokers, motor carriers with
hazardous materials safety permit, cargo
tank facilities and Mexican motor
carriers.
Estimated Number of Responses:
688,732 responses [683,452 responses
for 1C–1 + 3,241 responses for 1C–2 +
2,039 responses for 1C–3].
