Background: The Motor Carrier Safety
Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA) (Pub.
L. 106–159, 113 Stat. 1748, Dec. 9, 1999)
authorized the Secretary of
Transportation (Secretary) to regulate
household goods carriers engaged in
interstate operations for individual
shippers. In earlier legislation, Congress
abolished the former Interstate
Commerce Commission and transferred
the Commission’s jurisdiction over
household goods transportation to the
U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) (ICC Termination Act of 1995,
Pub. L. 104–88, 109 Stat. 803, Dec. 29
1995). Prior to FMCSA’s establishment,
the Secretary delegated this household
goods jurisdiction to the Federal
Highway Administration, FMCSA’s
predecessor organization within DOT.
The FMCSA has authority to regulate
the overall commercial operations of the
household goods industry under 49
U.S.C. 14104, ‘‘Household goods carrier
operations.’’ Under § 14104(a)(1),
paperwork required of household goods
carrier must be minimized to the
maximum extent feasible consistent
with the protection of individual
shippers. This ICR includes the
information collection requirements
contained in title 49 CFR part 375,
‘‘Transportation of Household Goods in
Interstate Commerce; Consumer
Protection Regulations.’’ The
information collected encompasses that
which is generated, maintained,
retained, disclosed, and provided to, or
for, the agency under 49 CFR part 375.
Sections 4202 through 4216 of the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (Pub. L. 109–59, 119 Stat. 1144,
Aug. 10, 2005) (SAFETEA–LU)
amended various provisions of existing
law regarding household goods
transportation. It specifically addressed:
definitions (section 4202); payment of
rates (section 4203); registration
requirements for household goods motor
carriers (section 4204); carrier
operations (section 4205); enforcement

of regulations (section 4206); liability of
carriers under receipts and bills of
lading (section 4207); arbitration
requirements (section 4208); civil
penalties for brokers and unauthorized
transportation (section 4209); penalties
for holding goods hostage (section
4210); consumer handbook (section
4211); release of broker information
(section 4212); working group for
Federal-State relations (section 4213);
consumer complaint information
(section 4214); review of liability of
carriers (section 4215); and application
of State laws (section 4216). The
FMCSA regulations that set forth
Federal requirements for movers that
provide interstate transportation of
household goods are found in 49 CFR
part 375, ‘‘Transportation of Household
Goods; Consumer Protection
Regulation.’’
On July 16, 2012, FMCSA published
a Direct Final Rule titled,
‘‘Transportation of Household Goods in
Interstate Commerce; Consumer
Protection Regulations: Household
Goods Motor Carrier Record Retention
Requirements,’’ (77 FR 41699). The rule
amended the regulations governing the
period during which HHG motor
carriers must retain documentation of
an individual shipper’s waiver of
receipt of printed copies of consumer
protection materials. This change
harmonized the retention period with
other document retention requirements
applicable to HHG motor carriers.
FMCSA also amended the regulations to
clarify that a HHG motor carrier is not
required to retain waiver documentation
from any individual shippers for whom
the carrier does not actually provide
services.
Public Comments Invited: FMCSA
requests that you comment on any
aspect of this information collection,
including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for FMCSA to
perform its functions, (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden, (3) ways for the
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 information
collection.

Background: The Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999
(MCSIA) (Pub. L. 106-159, 113 Stat. 1748, Dec. 9, 1999) authorized the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to regulate household goods

earlier legislation, Congress abolished the former Interstate Commerce
Commission and transferred the Commission's jurisdiction over household
goods transportation to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
(ICC Termination Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-88, 109 Stat. 803, Dec. 29
1995). Prior to FMCSA's establishment, the Secretary delegated this
household goods jurisdiction to the Federal Highway Administration,
FMCSA's predecessor organization within DOT.
The FMCSA has authority to regulate the overall commercial
operations of the household goods industry under 49 U.S.C. 14104,
``Household goods carrier operations.'' Under Sec. 14104(a)(1),
paperwork required of household goods carrier must be minimized to the
