Type of Request: Renewal of a currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Foreign motor carriers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 31.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 hours to complete or update Form
OP-2.
Expiration Date: October 31, 2021.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 47 hours [31 responses x 1\1/2\

Background: Title 49 U.S.C. 13902(c) contains basic licensing
procedures for registering foreign (Mexico-based) motor carriers to
operate across the U.S.-Mexico international border into the United
States. 49 CFR part 368 contains the regulations that require foreign
(Mexico-based) motor carriers to apply to the FMCSA for a Certificate
of Registration to provide interstate transportation in municipalities
in the United States on the U.S.-Mexico international border or within
the commercial zones of such municipalities as defined in 49 U.S.C.
13902(c)(4)(A). The FMCSA carries out this registration program under
authority delegated by the Secretary of Transportation.
Foreign (Mexico-based) motor carriers use Form OP-2 to apply for
Certificate of Registration authority with the FMCSA. The form requests
information on the foreign motor carrier's name, address, U.S. DOT
Number, form of business (e.g., corporation, sole proprietorship,
partnership), locations where the applicant plans to operate, types of
registration requested (e.g., for-hire motor carrier, household goods
carrier, motor private carrier), insurance, safety certifications,
household goods arbitration certifications, and compliance

certifications. FMCSA published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
on February 12, 2021, (86 FR 9423), announcing the Agency's intent to
submit the Application for Certificate of Registration for Foreign
Motor Carriers and Foreign Motor Private Carriers to OMB for approval,
and requesting comments from the public. No comments were received.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the FMCSA to perform its functions; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information.
Issued under the authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.87.

Associate Administrator for Policy.
