Abstract: This ICR is an extension of a currently approved collection. The FMCSA registers for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities under 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface freight forwarders under 49 U.S.C 13903, and property brokers under 49 U.S.C. 13904. The Form OCE-46 allows the FMCSA to implement a simplified process for registrants to apply voluntarily for revocation of their registration, or any part thereof. A completed Form OCE-46 is filed with FMCSA by the registrant for the purpose of requesting that all, or a part, of its operating authority be revoked. The information contained on the form is for disclosure and is used by FMCSA in making a determination on the revocation request. The use of Form OCE-46 has proven to be an easy and effective means by which a registrant can request revocation of its operating authority. Form OCE-46 is filed by registrants on a voluntary one-time basis. There is no requirement for the form to be filed on a periodic basis. The form is submitted to FMCSA only on an “as needed” basis, only when necessary as determined by the filing entity. It calls for a very limited amount of information which is readily available to the filer to identify the registrant, the scope of its request, and basis of its requested revocation. Collected information is uploaded to an FMCSA database for FMCSA’s recordkeeping. This renewal includes a burden hour increase is due to an estimated increase in the number of annual filings of Form OCE-46 and an increase in the number of respondents.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: For respondents, the program adjustment has resulted in decreased total burden hours and a decrease in respondent costs. The burden hour decrease is due to an estimated decrease in the number of annual filings of Form OCE-46 from 8,699 to 5,712 per year, resulting in a decrease of 2,987 responses and 747 burden hours [2,175 currently approved annual burden hours – 1,428 proposed annual burden hours = 747]. The total annual non-labor respondent cost has decreased by $8,177 [$24,602 currently approved annual cost to respondents − $16,425 proposed annual costs = $8,177]. This decrease is due to the decrease in the number of respondents. While the online submission option exists, FMCSA still estimates that approximately 1,517 respondents (approximately 27% of the total number of respondents) will continue to file the form by mail, which incurs notarization and postage fees.
