SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Request for Revocation of Authority Granted.
OMB Control Number: 2126-0018.
Type of Request: Renewal of a currently-approved ICR.
Respondents: For-hire motor carriers, freight forwarders, and
property brokers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,699.
Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes (0.25 hours).
Expiration Date: September 30, 2023.
Frequency of Response: Other (As needed).
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,175.
Background
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. Each registration is
effective from the date specified under 49 U.S.C. 13905 (c). Subsection
(d) of 49 U.S.C. 13905 also provides that on application of the
registrant, the Secretary may amend or revoke a registration, and hence
the registrant's operating authority. Form OCE-46 allows these
registrants to apply voluntarily for revocation of their operating
authority or parts thereof. If the registrant fails to maintain
evidence of the required level of insurance coverage on file with
FMCSA, its operating authority will be revoked involuntarily. Although
the effect of both types of revocation is the same, some registrants
prefer to request voluntary revocation. For various business reasons, a
registrant may request revocation of some part, but not all, of its
operating authority. This information collection, which supports the
DOT Strategic Goal of Safety, is being revised to reflect modified
estimates of burden hours and costs. For respondents, the program
adjustment has resulted in increased total burden hours and an increase
in respondent costs. The burden hour increase is due to an estimated
increase in the number of annual filings of Form OCE-46 from 5,901 to
8,699 per year, resulting in an increase of 2,798 responses and 700
burden hours. The estimated annual labor cost for industry resulting
from submitting Form OCE-46 is $67,287, an increase of $17,760. The
total annual respondent cost has increased by $7,992. This increase is
due to the increase in the number of respondents filing paper forms.
While the online submission option exists, FMCSA still estimates that
approximately 2,310 respondents will continue to file the form by mail,
which incurs notarization and postage fees. For the Federal Government,
the program costs have increased by $19,707 due to the increase in the
number of forms received by FMCSA.
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 performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for 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.
