Abstract: The information collection is mandatory reporting requirements and consists of 3 information collection instruments. IC-1, Form MCS-150, Motor Carrier Identification Report is filed by all motor carriers conducting operations in interstate or international commerce before beginning operations. It is also used by motor carriers needing to update previously submitted information, and on a biennial update basis. IC-2, Form MCS-150B, Combined Motor Carrier Identification and HM Permit Application is filed by interstate motor carriers that transport the permitted hazardous materials. It is also used by motor carriers needing to update previously submitted information, and on a biennial update basis. IC-3, Form MCS-150C, Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report is filed by IEPs that interchange intermodal equipment with a motor carrier or have contractual responsibility for the maintenance of the intermodal equipment. FMCSA uses the information to identify its regulated entities, to help prioritize the Agency’s enforcement activities, to aid in assessing the safety outcomes of those activities, and for statistical purposes. This information collection supports the agency’s strategic goal of safety by establishing and monitoring safe operating requirements for motor carriers, commercial motor vehicle drivers, vehicles, and vehicle equipment.
