Background
The Secretary of Transportation
(Secretary) is authorized to register
motor carriers under the provisions of
49 U.S.C. 13902; freight forwarders
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13903;
and property brokers under provisions
of 49 U.S.C. 13904. These persons may
conduct transportation services only if
they are registered pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
13901. The Secretary delegated
authority pertaining to these registration
requirements to FMCSA in 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) 1.87(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, 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, § 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.’’ For
this renewal, the program’s annual
burden hours increased from 3,448 to
18,503. This is due to an updated
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:
110,799.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes, or 0.167 hours.
Expiration Date: April 30, 2026.
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 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

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,

ADDRESSES:

Background
Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.)
section 14123 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 to
DOT’s 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).
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). 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 for-hire passenger
carriers). 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
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/.
The estimated annual respondents for
Form M decreased from 34 in the
previously approved ICR to 4 in the
current ICR. The estimated annual
burden hours for Form M decreased by
270 hours [36 proposed hours ¥ 306
currently approved hours = ¥270
hours]. Estimated annual respondents
for Form MP–1 stayed the same. The
previously approved ICR had 0 annual
hours. The current ICR has 0 annual
hours. This estimate is based off the
number of Form M and Form MP–1
submissions received by the Agency
between 2022 and 2024, which results
in these estimates of annual
respondents/responses for the upcoming
information collection period.
Labor costs to industry have
decreased by $12,491 annually [$2,007
in proposed costs ¥ $14,498 currently
approved costs = ¥$12,491]. This is due
to the decreased estimates of annual
respondents/responses. Other annual
costs to respondents (i.e., associated
with mailing completed forms to
FMCSA) have decreased by $30 [($4 in
proposed mailing costs for Form M + $0
in proposed mailing costs for Form MP–
1) ¥ ($34 in previously approved
mailing costs for Form M + $0 in
previously approved mailing costs for
Form MP–1) = ¥$30]. This change is
also due to the decreased estimates of
annual respondents/responses.
For the Federal Government, annual
costs have decreased by $68 [$11 in
proposed costs ¥ $79 in previously
approved costs = ¥$68]. This change is
due to the decreased estimates of annual
respondents/responses.
1 For purposes of the Financial and Operating
Statistics program, carriers are classified into the
following two 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
applying the revenue deflator formula as set forth
in 49 CFR 369.2
