Background: Title 49 of the United
States Code (U.S.C.) authorizes the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary)
to promulgate regulations governing the
registration of for-hire motor carriers of
regulated commodities (49 U.S.C.
13902), surface transportation freight
forwarders (49 U.S.C. 13903), and
property brokers (49 U.S.C. 13904).
Under 49 U.S.C. 13905, each
registration is effective from the date
specified and remains in effect for such
period as the Secretary determines
appropriate by regulation. Section
13905(c) grants the Secretary the
authority to amend or revoke a
registration at the registrant’s request.
On complaint, or on the Secretary’s own
initiative, the Secretary may also
suspend, amend, or revoke any part of
the registration of a motor carrier,
broker, or freight forwarder for willful
failure to comply with the regulations,
an order of the Secretary, or a condition
of its registration.
Form OCE–46 is used by
transportation entities to voluntarily
apply for revocation of their registration
authority in whole or in part. FMCSA
uses the form to seek information
concerning the registrant’s docket
number, name and address, and the
reasons for the revocation request. This
ICR is being revised due to an increase
in the estimated number of annual
respondents from 3,250 to 3,700.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
revised information collection request,
including: (1) The necessity and
usefulness of the information collection
for FMCSA to meet its goal in reducing
truck crashes; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burdens; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, usefulness, and clarity of
the collected information; and (4) ways
to minimize the collection burden
without reducing the quality of the
collected information. The agency will
summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
Issued on: August 17, 2010.
