Background
Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) section 504(b)(2) provides
the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) with authority to require
carriers, lessors, associations, or classes of these entities to file
annual, periodic, and special reports containing answers to questions
asked by the Secretary. The Secretary may also prescribe the form of
records required to be prepared or compiled and the time period during
which records must be preserved (see 49 U.S.C. 504(b)(1) and (d)).
FMCSA will use this data to administer its safety programs using a
database of entities that are subject to its regulations. This database
necessitates that these entities notify FMCSA of their existence. For
example, under 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 390.19(a), FMCSA
requires all motor carriers beginning operations to file Form MCS-150,
``Motor Carrier Identification Report,'' Form MCS-150B titled,
``Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and HM Permit
Applications,'' or Form MCS-150C titled, ``Intermodal Equipment
Provider Identification Report.'' This report is filed by all motor
carriers conducting interstate operations, intrastate operations
transporting HM, or international commerce before beginning operations.
It asks the respondent to provide the name of the business entity that
owns and controls the motor carrier operation; address and telephone of
principal place of business; assigned identification number(s), type of
operation, types of cargo usually transported; number of vehicles
owned, term leased and trip leased; driver information; and
certification statement signed by an individual authorized to sign
documents on behalf of the business entity. Existing applicants will
use Form MCS-150, MCS-150B, or MCS-150C to update their information in
the Motor Carrier Management Information System. Applicants filing for
the first time will be required to file online. Form MCS-150, MCS-150B
will be used for Mexico-domiciled carriers that seek authority to
operate beyond the United States municipalities on the United States-
Mexico border and their commercial zones, or MCS-150C will be used by
IEPs beginning operations that interchange intermodal equipment with a
motor carrier or have contractual responsibility for the maintenance of
intermodal equipment. The information collected from the respondents is
readily available to the public. This revised ICR captures the burden
of continued use of Form MCS-150, MCS-150B for motor carriers updating
their registration information and for the registration of Mexico-
domiciled carriers, or MCS-150C for IEPs. No public comments were
received in response to the 60-day Federal Register notice.
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.
