Abstract: FMCSA is seeking approval of revision of the ICR. This ICR has two collection periods. The first period covers the six months prior to the implementation of the Broker and Freight Forward Financial Responsibility Final Rule. There are no changes to the respondents, responses, burden hours or annual burden costs for this period. The second collection period covers the 2.5 years following the implementation of the Broker and Freight Forward Financial Responsibility Final Rule. This collection period has 200,147 respondents, 290,345 responses, 49,722 annual burden hours and a total annual burden cost of $1,725,372. This program change increase, to the existing ICR of 283 hours is due to updates made to three forms, BMC-36, BMC-84, and BMC-85 due to the implementation of the Broker and Freight Forwarder Financial Responsibility Final Rule. This ICR consists of 11 forms/ICs: IC-1, form BMC-91, IC-2: BMC-91X, IC-3: BMC-34, IC-4: BMC-82, IC-5: BMC-83, IC-6: BMC-84, IC-7: BMC-85, IC-8: BMC-35, IC-9: BMC-36, IC-10: BMC-IC-11: BMC-32. These mandatory forms are used annually for reporting purposes, by for-hire motor carriers, freight forwarders and brokers to meet the statutory requirement to submit evidence of financial responsibility prior to their registration by the FMCSA as condition for continuation of their registration. The ICR allows the FMCSA to ensure the public is protected and will be compensated for claims involving bodily injury and property damage, or loss or damage to household goods, respectively, within the limits prescribed by FMCSA. The ICR enforces the filing of surety bonds or trust fund agreements to help ensure that motor carriers and shippers are protected against non-performance of the broker’s or freight forwarder’s legal obligations. Insurance companies can be held liable for any damages that may occur to the public (up to the limits of the policy), and to supersede any exclusions or limitations which may be contained in the insured motor carrier’s or freight forwarder’s policy. Additionally, FMCSA can make a determination regarding whether an entity qualifies for the grant of self-insurance authority.

Short Statement: The currently approved ICR has 200,147 respondents, 290,345 responses, 49,439 annual burden hours. The proposed revision of BMC-84 (IC-6), BMC-85 (IC-7) and BMC-36 (IC-9) slightly increases the annual burden hours to 49,722 hours, an increase of 283 hours. The corresponding cost increased from $1,514,300 to $1,725,372. This increase is due to a 2-minute increase in the amount of time it would take to complete the revised forms and the use of updated BLS wage data.
