Household Movers' Disclosure Requirements

Under 49 U.S.C. §§ 13501, 13531, and 14706(f)(2), the Board is charged with oversight of certain motor carrier tariffs (the published rates that interstate movers of household goods charge for the services they offer). In its 2011 Decision and notice (76 Fed. Reg. 5,431), the Board issued preliminary regulations implementing a Congressional directive to enhance consumer protection in the case of loss or damage that occurs during interstate household-good moves. The statutorily-prescribed rules required movers to provide certain information concerning the two available cargo-liability options on the written estimate form-the first form that a moving company must give to a customer. Those disclosure requirements are the subject of this Information Collection Request, but, as further explained, no longer have any significant burden.
