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, reflects
modified estimates of burden hours and costs. For respondents, the
program adjustment has resulted in decreased total burden hours and a
decrease in respondent costs. The burden hour decrease is due to an
estimated decrease in the number of annual filings of Form OCE-46 from
8,699 to 5,712 per year, resulting in a decrease of 2,987 responses and
747 burden hours. The estimated annual labor cost for industry
resulting from submitting Form OCE-46 is $49,012, a decrease of
$18,175. The total annual non-labor respondent cost has decreased by
$8,177. This decrease is due to the decrease in the number of
respondents. While the online submission option exists, FMCSA still
estimates that approximately 1,517 respondents (approximately 27
percent of the total number of respondents) will continue to file the
form by mail, which incurs notarization and postage fees. For the
Federal Government, the program costs have decreased by $14,513 due to
the decrease 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. The Agency will summarize or include your
comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this ICR.
Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87.
