FMCSA, which has been delegated authority to exercise the Secretary’s functions and activities regarding broker and freight forwarder registration, is making a finding that registration of brokers and freight forwarders of non-household goods is needed for the protection of shippers. Accordingly, the Agency will continue to register all general commodities brokers and freight forwarders subject to its jurisdiction. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Michael J. Falk, Office of Chief Counsel, 202–366–0834; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590–0001. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background FMCSA’s jurisdiction over interstate property brokers is conferred by 49 U.S.C. 13501, which gives the Secretary jurisdiction ‘‘over transportation by motor carrier and the procurement of that transportation’’ to the extent the transportation is in interstate or foreign commerce. FMCSA’s jurisdiction over interstate freight forwarders is conferred by 49 U.S.C. 13531, which gives the Secretary jurisdiction ‘‘over service that a freight forwarder undertakes to provide, or is authorized or required under [Part B of subtitile IV of title 49, United States Code] to provide’’ to the extent the transportation involved is in interstate commerce. Brokers and freight forwarders are transportation intermediaries who procure the services of motor carriers to transport property. Brokers generally do not handle the freight and do not assume legal liability for cargo loss and damage. On behalf of shippers, they arrange for motor carriers to transport individual shipments from origin to destination. Freight forwarders assemble small shipments into larger shipments, tender them to motor carriers and ensure that the larger shipment is disassembled into smaller shipments upon delivery. Freight forwarders may take physical possession of the shipment in carrying out these functions.1 Freight forwarders issue bills of lading and assume liability for cargo loss and damage. Brokers arranging for transportation of property in interstate commerce were first regulated by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) in 1935; interstate freight forwarders were regulated beginning in 1942. These 1 The statutory definitions of broker and freight forwarder are codified at 49 U.S.C. 13102(2) and 13102(8), respectively. E:\FR\FM\24AUN1.SGM 24AUN1
