Background
Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) section 14123 requires
certain for-hire motor carriers of property, passengers, and household
goods to file annual financial reports. The annual reporting program
was implemented on December 24, 1938 (3 FR 3158), and it was
subsequently transferred from the Interstate Commerce Commission to
DOT's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) on January 1, 1996. The
Secretary of Transportation delegated to BTS the responsibility for the
program on December 17, 1996 (61 FR 68162). Responsibility for
collection of the reports was transferred from BTS to FMCSA on August
17, 2004 (69 FR 51009), and the regulations were redesignated as 49 CFR
part 369 on August 10, 2006 (71 FR 45740). FMCSA collects carriers'
annual reports and furnishes copies of the reports when requested under
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Annual financial reports are
filed on Form M (Class I and II for-hire property carriers, including
household goods carriers) and Form MP-1 (Class I for-hire passenger
carriers). For-hire motor carriers (including interstate and
intrastate) subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are
classified on the basis of their gross carrier operating revenues.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For purposes of the Financial and Operating Statistics
program, carriers are classified into the following two groups: (1)
Class I carriers are those having annual carrier operating revenues
(including interstate and intrastate) of $10 million or more after
applying the revenue deflator formula as set forth in Note A of 49
CFR 369.2; and (2) Class II carriers are those having annual carrier
operating revenues (including interstate and intrastate) of at least
$3 million, but less than $10 million after applying the revenue
deflator formula as set forth in 49 CFR 369.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The data and information collected is publicly available through
FOIA requests. FMCSA has created electronic forms that may be prepared,
signed electronically, and submitted to FMCSA via <a href="https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/">https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/</a>.
The estimated annual respondents for Form M decreased from 34 in
the previously approved ICR to 4 in the current ICR. The estimated
annual burden hours for Form M decreased by 270 hours [36 proposed
hours - 306 currently approved hours = -270 hours]. Estimated annual
respondents for Form MP-1 stayed the same. The previously approved ICR
had 0 annual hours. The current ICR has 0 annual hours. This estimate
is based off the number of Form M and Form MP-1 submissions received by
the Agency between 2022 and 2024, which results in these estimates of
annual respondents/responses for the upcoming information collection
period.
Labor costs to industry have decreased by $12,491 annually [$2,007
in proposed costs - $14,498 currently approved costs = -$12,491]. This
is due to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/responses.
Other annual costs to respondents (i.e., associated with mailing
completed forms to FMCSA) have decreased by $30 [($4 in proposed
mailing costs for Form M + $0 in proposed mailing costs for Form MP-1)
- ($34 in previously approved mailing costs for Form M + $0 in
previously approved mailing costs for Form MP-1) = -$30]. This change
is also due to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/responses.
For the Federal Government, annual costs have decreased by $68 [$11
in proposed costs - $79 in previously approved costs = -$68]. This
change is due to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/
responses.
On July 28, 2025, FMCSA published a notice in the Federal Register
(90 FR 35569) with a 60-day public comment period to announce its
intention to submit this ICR to OMB for renewal. FMCSA received one
comment, which was not relevant to the ICR.
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.
Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87.

Acting Associate Administrator, Office of Research and Registration.
