II. Executive Summary
A. Purpose and Summary of the Regulatory Action
Under 49 U.S.C. 14504a, the UCR Plan and the 41 States
participating in the UCR Agreement collect fees from motor carriers,
motor private carriers of property, brokers, freight forwarders, and
leasing companies. The UCR Plan and Agreement are administered by a 15-
member board of directors (UCR Plan Board): 14 appointed from the
participating States and the industry, plus the Deputy Administrator of
FMCSA. Revenues collected are allocated to the participating States and
the UCR Plan.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 14504a(d)(7) and (f)(1)(E)(ii), the
UCR Plan Board provides fee adjustment recommendations to the Secretary
when revenue collections result in a shortfall or surplus from the
amount authorized by statute. If there are excess funds after payments
to the States and for administrative costs, they are retained in the
UCR Plan's depository, and fees in subsequent fee years must be reduced
as required by 49 U.S.C. 14504a(h)(4). These two distinct provisions
each contribute to the fee adjustment in this final rule, which reduces
by approximately 9 percent the annual registration fees established
pursuant to the UCR Agreement for the 2024 registration year and
subsequent years.
B. Costs and Benefits
The changes in this final rule reduce the fees paid by motor
carriers, motor private carriers of property, brokers, freight
forwarders, and leasing companies to the UCR Plan and the participating
States. While each motor carrier or other covered entity might realize
a reduced burden, fees are considered by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A-4, Regulatory Analysis, as transfer payments,
not costs. Transfer payments are payments from one group to another
that do not affect total resources available to society. Therefore,
transfers are not considered in the monetization of societal costs and
benefits of rulemakings.

IV. Legal Basis for the Rulemaking
This rulemaking adjusts the annual registration fees required by
the UCR Agreement established by 49 U.S.C. 14504a. The fee adjustments
are authorized by 49 U.S.C. 14504a because the total revenues collected
for previous registration years exceed the maximum annual revenue
entitlements of $107,777,060 distributed to the 41 participating States
plus the amount established for administrative costs associated with
the UCR Plan and Agreement. The UCR Plan Board submitted the requested
adjustments in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 14504a(f)(1)(E)(ii), which
provides for the UCR Plan Board to request an adjustment by the
Secretary of Transportation (the Secretary) when the annual revenues
exceed the maximum allowed. In addition, 49 U.S.C. 14504a(h)(4) states
that any excess funds from previous registration years held by the UCR
Plan in its depository, after distribution to the States and for
payment of administrative costs, shall be retained and the fees charged
shall be reduced by the Secretary accordingly, (49 U.S.C.
14504a(h)(4)).
The UCR Plan Board must also obtain DOT approval to revise the
total revenue to be collected, in accordance with 49 U.S.C.
14504a(d)(7). This rulemaking also approves the UCR Plan Board's
requested increase in the portion of total revenues to be collected
during the 2024 registration year to provide funds for the anticipated
increased costs of administering the UCR Agreement. The increase in the
administrative cost allowance is $250,000 (to a total of $4,250,000),
which when added to the established State revenue allocation of
$107,777,060, results in a total revenue to be collected of
$112,027,060. Nonetheless, this slight increase is more than offset by
the need to recognize excess collections from previous registration
years, so that the result is a decrease in the fees recommended and
approved.
No changes in the revenue allocations to the participating States
under 49 U.S.C. 14504a(g)(1) were recommended by the UCR Plan Board,
nor would they be authorized by this rulemaking.
The Secretary also has broad rulemaking authority in 49 U.S.C.
13301(a) to carry out 49 U.S.C. 14504a, which is part of 49 U.S.C.
subtitle IV, part B. Authority to administer these statutory provisions
has been delegated to the FMCSA Administrator by 49 CFR 1.87(a)(2) and
(7).
V. Discussion of Proposed Rule and Final Rule
A. Proposed Rule
On March 16, 2023, FMCSA published in the Federal Register (Docket
No. FMCSA-2023-0008, 88 FR 16207) an NPRM titled ``Fees for the Unified
Carrier Registration Plan and Agreement.'' The NPRM proposed amending
regulations for the annual registration fees States collect from motor
carriers, motor private carriers of property, brokers, freight
forwarders, and leasing companies for the UCR Plan and Agreement for
the 2024 registration year and subsequent registration years. The fees
for the 2024 registration year were proposed to be reduced below the
fees for 2023 by approximately 9 percent overall, with varying
reductions between $4 and $3,453 per entity, depending on the
applicable fee bracket. The UCR Plan's recommendation states that it
anticipates recommending an upward adjustment in the fees for the 2025
registration year to comply with the statutory provisions, which will
require further rulemaking action.
B. Comments
FMCSA solicited comments concerning the NPRM for 30 days ending
April 17, 2023. No comments were submitted.
C. Final Rule
As FMCSA received no comments on the proposal for reducing the fees
for the 2024 registration year, FMCSA finalizes the proposed reduction
in this final rule without modification.
VI. Section-by-Section
As proposed in the NPRM, FMCSA revises 49 CFR 367.30 (which was
adopted in a 2022 final rule (87 FR 53680 (Sep. 1, 2022)) so that the
fees in that section apply to registration year 2023 only. A new Sec.
367.40 establishes new reduced fees applicable beginning in
registration year 2024, based on the recommendation submitted by the
UCR Plan Board in its November 18, 2022,
[[Page 40721]]
Fee Recommendation that is in the docket. The fees in new Sec. 367.40
would remain in effect for subsequent registration years after 2024
unless revised by a future rulemaking.
VII. Regulatory Analyses
A. Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review), E.O.
13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review), E.O. 14094
(Modernizing Regulatory Review), and DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures
FMCSA has considered the impact of this final rule under E.O. 12866
(58 FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993), Regulatory Planning and Review, E.O. 13563
(76 FR 3821, Jan. 21, 2011), Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review, E.O. 14094 (88 FR 21879, Apr. 11, 2023), Modernizing Regulatory
Review, and DOT's regulatory policies and procedures. The Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs within the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) determined that this final rulemaking is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of E.O. 12866, as supplemented by
E.O. 13563 and amended by E.O. 14094, and does not require an
assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of
that order. Accordingly, OMB has not reviewed it under that E.O.
This rule will reduce the registration fees paid by motor carriers,
motor private carriers of property, brokers, freight forwarders, and
leasing companies to the UCR Plan and the participating States. While
each motor carrier will realize a reduced burden, fees are considered
by OMB Circular A-4, Regulatory Analysis, as transfer payments, not
costs. Transfer payments are payments from one group to another that do
not affect total resources available to society. By definition,
transfers are not considered in the monetization of societal costs and
benefits of rulemakings.
This rule establishes reductions in the annual registration fees
for the UCR Plan and Agreement. The entities affected by this rule are
the participating States, motor carriers, motor private carriers of
property, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies. Because
the State entitlements will remain unchanged, the participating States
will not be impacted by this rule. The primary impact of this rule will
be a reduction in fees paid by individual motor carriers, motor private
carriers of property, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing
companies. The reduction in fees for the 2024 registration year from
the current 2023 registration year fees (approved on September 1, 2022)
is approximately 9 percent, ranging from $4 to $3,453 per entity,
depending on the number of vehicles owned or operated by the affected
entities.
B. Congressional Review Act
This rule is not a major rule as defined under the Congressional
Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A major rule means any rule that OMB finds has resulted in
or is likely to result in (a) an annual effect on the economy of
$100 million or more; (b) a major increase in costs or prices for
consumers, individual industries, geographic regions, Federal,
State, or local government agencies; or (c) significant adverse
effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity,
innovation, or on the ability of United States-based enterprises to
compete with foreign-based enterprises in domestic and export
markets (5 U.S.C. 804(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (Small Entities)
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), as amended
by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 \2\
requires Federal agencies to consider the effects of the regulatory
action on small business and other small entities and to minimize any
significant economic impact. The term small entities comprises small
businesses and not-for-profit organizations that are independently
owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and
governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000 (5
U.S.C. 601(6)). Accordingly, DOT policy requires an analysis of the
impact of all regulations on small entities, and mandates that agencies
strive to lessen any adverse effects on these businesses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Public Law 104-121, 110 Stat. 857, (Mar. 29, 1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This rule will directly affect the participating States, motor
carriers, motor private carriers of property, brokers, freight
forwarders, and leasing companies. Under the standards of the RFA, as
amended by SBREFA, the participating States are not small entities.
States are not considered small entities because they do not meet the
definition of a small entity in section 601 of the RFA. Specifically,
States are not considered small governmental jurisdictions under
section 601(5) of the RFA, both because State government is not
included among the various levels of government listed in section
601(5), and because, even if this were the case, no State or the
District of Columbia has a population of less than 50,000, which is the
criterion by which a governmental jurisdiction is considered small
under section 601(5) of the RFA.
The Small Business Administration's (SBA) size standard for a small
entity (13 CFR 121.201) differs by industry code. The entities affected
by this rule fall into many different industry codes. In order to
determine if this rule impacts a significant number of small entities,
FMCSA examined the 2012 and 2017 Economic Census data for two different
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) subsectors: Truck
Transportation (subsector 484) and Transit and Ground Transportation
(subsector 485).
As shown in the table below, the SBA size standards for the
national industries under the Truck Transportation and Transit and
Ground Transportation subsectors range from $19.0 million to $43.0
million in revenue per year.
To determine the percentage of firms that have revenue at or below
SBA's thresholds within each of the NAICS national industries, FMCSA
examined data from the 2017 Economic Census.\3\ In instances where 2017
data were suppressed, the Agency imputed 2017 levels using data from
the 2012 Economic Census.\4\ Boundaries for the revenue categories used
in the Economic Census do not exactly coincide with the SBA thresholds.
Instead, the SBA threshold generally falls between two different
revenue categories. However, FMCSA was able to make reasonable
estimates as to the percentage of small entities within each NAICS
code.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The percentages of small entities with annual revenue less than the
SBA's threshold ranged from 96.3 percent to 100 percent. Specifically,
approximately 96.3 percent of Specialized Freight (except Used Goods)
Trucking, Long Distance (484230) firms had annual revenue less than the
SBA's revenue threshold of $34.0 million and would be considered small
entities. FMCSA estimates 100 percent of firms in the Mixed Mode
Transit Systems (485111) national industry had annual revenue less than
$29.0 million and would be considered small entities. The table below
shows the complete estimates of the number of small entities within the
national industries that may be affected by this rule.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, FMCSA has determined that this rule impacts a
substantial number of small entities. However, FMCSA has determined
that this rule will not have a significant impact on the affected
entities. The effect of this rule is to reduce the annual registration
fee motor carriers, motor private carriers of property, brokers,
freight forwarders, and leasing companies are currently required to
pay. The reduction will be approximately 9 percent, ranging from $4 to
$3,453 per entity, depending on the number of vehicles owned and/or
operated by the affected entities. While the RFA does not define a
threshold for determining whether a specific regulation results in a
significant impact, the SBA, in guidance to government agencies,
provides some objective measures of significance that the agencies can
consider using. One measure that could be used to illustrate a
significant impact is labor costs; specifically, whether the cost of
the regulation exceeds 1 percent of the average annual revenues of
small entities in the sector. Given that entities owning between 0 and
2 CMVs will experience an average reduction of $4, a small entity would
need to have average annual revenue of less than $400 to experience an
impact greater than 1 percent of average annual revenue. This is an
average annual revenue that is smaller than would be required for a
firm to support one employee. The reduced fee amount and impact on
revenue increase linearly depending on the applicable fee bracket.
Consequently, I certify that this action will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
D. Assistance for Small Entities
In accordance with section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121, 110 Stat. 857),
FMCSA wants to assist small entities in understanding this final rule
so they can better evaluate its effects on themselves and participate
in the rulemaking initiative. If the final rule will affect your small
business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce or otherwise determine compliance with Federal
regulations to the Small Business Administration's Small Business and
Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman (Office of the National
Ombudsman, see <a href="https://www.sba.gov/about-sba/oversight-advocacy/office-national-ombudsman">https://www.sba.gov/about-sba/oversight-advocacy/office-national-ombudsman</a>) and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness
Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each
agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on
actions by employees of FMCSA, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247).
DOT has a policy regarding the rights of small entities to regulatory
enforcement fairness and an explicit policy against retaliation for
exercising these rights.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
(UMRA) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their
discretionary regulatory actions. The Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $178 million (which is the
value equivalent of $100 million in 1995, adjusted for inflation to
2021 levels) or more in any 1 year. Though this final rule would not
result in such an expenditure, and the analytical requirements of UMRA
do not apply as a result, the Agency discusses the effects of this rule
in sections VII. A. and VII. C. of this analysis.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule contains no new information collection requirements
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
G. E.O. 13132 (Federalism)
A rule has implications for federalism under section 1(a) of E.O.
13132 if it has ``substantial direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government.''
FMCSA has determined that this rule will not have substantial
direct costs on or for States, nor would it limit the policymaking
discretion of States. Nothing in this document preempts any State law
or regulation. Therefore, this rule does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Impact
Statement.
H. Privacy
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005,\5\ requires the Agency
to assess the privacy impact of a regulation that will affect the
privacy of individuals. This
[[Page 40723]]
rule would not require the collection of personally identifiable
information (PII). The supporting Privacy Impact Analysis (PIA),
available for review in the docket, gives a full and complete
explanation of FMCSA practices for protecting PII in general and
specifically in relation to this final rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Public Law 108-447, 118 Stat. 2809, 3268, note following 5
U.S.C. 552a (Dec. 4, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) applies only to Federal agencies
and any non-Federal agency that receives records contained in a system
of records from a Federal agency for use in a matching program. The E-
Government Act of 2002,\6\ requires Federal agencies to conduct a PIA
for new or substantially changed technology that collects, maintains,
or disseminates information in an identifiable form. No new or
substantially changed technology will collect, maintain, or disseminate
information as a result of this rule. Accordingly, FMCSA has not
conducted a PIA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Public Law 107-347, sec. 208, 116 Stat. 2899, 2921 (Dec. 17,
2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, the Agency submitted a Privacy Threshold Assessment
(PTA) to evaluate the risks and effects the proposed rulemaking might
have on collecting, storing, and sharing personally identifiable
information. The DOT Privacy Office has determined that this rulemaking
does not create privacy risk.
I. E.O. 13175 (Indian Tribal Governments)
This rule does not have Tribal implications under E.O. 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because
it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian
Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian
Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.
J. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
FMCSA analyzed this rule pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and determined this
action is categorically excluded from further analysis and
documentation in an environmental assessment or environmental impact
statement under FMCSA Order 5610.1 (69 FR 9680), Appendix 2, 6.h. The
categorical exclusion (CE) in paragraph 6.h. covers regulations and
actions taken pursuant to regulation implementing procedures to collect
fees that will be charged for motor carrier registrations. The proposed
requirements in this rule are covered by this CE.
