This VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:13 Apr 26, 2006 Jkt 208001 information collection (IC) was transferred from the former Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) to FMCSA on September 29, 2004 (69 FR 51009).

Number of Respondents: 3,000 (per year). Estimated Time Per Response: 9 hours. Expiration Date: April 30, 2006. Frequency: Annually. Total Annual Burden: 27,000 hours [3,000 respondents × 9 hours per response = 27,000]. (2) Title: Quarterly Financial Report of Class I Motor Carriers of Property and Household Goods (formerly OMB Control Number 2139–0002).

Total Annual Burden: 1,800 hours [1,000 respondents × 1.8 hours per response = 1,800]. Background The Annual Report of Class I and Class II Motor Carriers of Property and Household Goods (Form M) and Quarterly Financial Report of Class I Motor Carriers of Property (Including Household Goods and Dual Property Motor Carriers) (Form QFR) are mandated reporting requirements applicable for for-hire motor carriers. Motor carriers (including interstate and intrastate) 1 subject to the Federal Motor 1 For purposes of the Financial and Operating Statistics (F&OS) program, carriers are classified into the following three 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 in Note A of part 1420; (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 in Note A of part 1420; and (3) PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) are classified on the basis of their gross carrier operating revenues. Under the financial and operating statistics program, FMCSA collects balance sheet and income statement data, along with information on safety needs, tonnage, mileage, employees, transportation equipment and other related data. FMCSA may also ask carriers to respond to surveys concerning their operations. The data and information collected will be made publicly available and used by FMCSA to determine a motor carrier’s compliance with the F&OS program requirements set forth in subchapter B of 49 CFR part 1420. The regulations were formerly administered by the Interstate Commerce Commission and later transferred to the U.S. Department of Transportation on January 1, 1996, by section 103 of the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA) (Pub. L. 104–88, 109 Stat. 803, December 29, 1995), now codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123. The Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) transferred the authority to administer the F&OS program to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics on September 30, 1998 (63FR 52192). Pursuant to this authority, the BTS, now part of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), became the DOT modal administration responsible for implementing the F&OS program and requirements in 49 CFR part 1420. On September 29, 2004, the Secretary transferred the responsibility for the F&OS program from BTS to FMCSA (69 FR 51009). FMCSA plans to publish a final rule in the future to transfer and redesignate the F&OS program reporting requirements at 49 CFR part 1420 from BTS (now RITA) to FMCSA. We particularly request comments on: (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for FMCSA to meet its goal of reducing truck crashes and its usefulness to this goal; (2) the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the information collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including using automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB’s clearance of these information collections. Class III carriers are those having annual carrier operating revenues (including interstate and intrastate) of less than $3 million after applying the revenue deflator formula in Note A of part 1420.
