SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: Section 14123 of title 49 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) requires certain for-hire motor carriers of property, passengers, and household goods to file annual financial reports. The annual reporting program was implemented on December 24, 1938 (3 FR 3158), and it was subsequently transferred from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) on January 1, 1996. The Secretary PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of Transportation delegated to BTS the responsibility for the program on December 17, 1996 (61 FR 68162). Responsibility for collection of the reports was transferred from BTS to FMCSA on August 17, 2004 (69 FR 51009), and the regulations were redesignated as 49 CFR part 369 on August 10, 2006 (71 FR 45740). FMCSA collects carriers’ annual reports and furnishes copies of the reports when requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Annual financial reports are filed on Form M (Class I and II for-hire property carriers, including household goods carriers) and Form MP–1 (Class I for-hire passenger carriers). For-hire motor carriers (including interstate and intrastate) subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are classified on the basis of their gross carrier operating revenues.1 The data and information collected is publicly available through FOIA requests. FMCSA has created electronic forms that may be prepared, signed electronically, and submitted to FMCSA via https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/. FMCSA revised Form M to ensure that it solicits only that information required by statute, and also added an option to allow filers to upload their own document in lieu of filling out either Form M or MP–1 (as applicable), so long as the document includes all of the information listed on the form. Title: Annual Report of Class I and Class II For-Hire Motor Carriers. OMB Control Number: 2126–0032. Type of Request: Renewal of a currently-approved information collection. Respondents: Class I and Class II ForHire Motor Carriers of Property and Class I For-Hire Motor Carriers of Passengers. Estimated Number of Respondents: 102 total (34 per year). Estimated Time per Response: 9 hours for Form M and 0.3 hours for Form MP–1. Expiration Date: May 31, 2022. Frequency of Response: Annually. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 306 hours [306 hours (Form M) + 0 hours (Form MP–1)]. Estimated annual respondents for Form M decreased from 43 in the 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 as set forth in Note A of 49 CFR 369.2; and (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 as set forth in 49 CFR 369.2.

Estimated annual burden hours for Form M decreased by 78 hours [306 proposed hours¥384 currently approved hours = ¥78 hours]. Estimated annual respondents for Form MP–1 stayed the same. The previously approved ICR had 0 annual hours. The current ICR has 0 annual hours. This estimate is based on the number of Form M and Form MP–1 submissions received by the Agency between 2018 and 2020, which results in these estimates of annual respondents/ responses for the upcoming information collection period. Labor costs to industry have decreased by $2,276, annually [$14,494 in proposed costs ¥$16,770 currently approved costs = ¥$2,276]. This is due to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/responses. Other annual costs to respondents (i.e., associated with mailing completed forms to FMCSA) have decreased by $9 [($34 in proposed mailing costs for Form M + $0 in proposed mailing costs for Form MP–1)¥($43 in previously approved mailing costs for Form M + $0 in previously approved mailing costs for Form MP–1) = $¥9]. This change is also due to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/responses. For the Federal Government, annual costs have increased by $6 [$79 in proposed costs ¥$73 in previously approved costs = $6]. This increase is due to a revision in the federal government employee load rate, which was revised to be consistent with other FMCSA ICRs. Public Comments Invited: You are asked to 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: Section 14123 of title 49 of the United States Code 
(U.S.C.) requires certain for-hire motor carriers of property, 
passengers, and household goods to file annual financial reports. The 
annual reporting program was implemented on December 24, 1938 (3 FR 
3158), and it was subsequently transferred from the Interstate Commerce 
Commission (ICC) to the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) 
Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) on January 1, 1996. The 
Secretary of Transportation delegated to BTS the responsibility for the 
program on December 17, 1996 (61 FR 68162). Responsibility for 
collection of the reports was transferred from BTS to FMCSA on August 
17, 2004 (69 FR 51009), and the regulations were redesignated as 49 CFR 
part 369 on August 10, 2006 (71 FR 45740). FMCSA collects carriers' 
annual reports and furnishes copies of the reports when requested under 
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Annual financial reports are 
filed on Form M (Class I and II for-hire property carriers, including 
household goods carriers) and Form MP-1 (Class I for-hire passenger 
carriers). For-hire motor carriers (including interstate and 
intrastate) subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are 
classified on the basis of their gross carrier operating revenues.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 as set 
forth in Note A of 49 CFR 369.2; and (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 as set forth in 49 CFR 369.2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The data and information collected is publicly available through 
FOIA requests. FMCSA has created electronic forms that may be prepared, 
signed electronically, and submitted to FMCSA via https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/. FMCSA revised Form M to ensure that it 
solicits only that information required by statute, and also added an 
option to allow filers to upload their own document in lieu of filling 
out either Form M or MP-1 (as applicable), so long as the document 
includes all of the information listed on the form.
    Title: Annual Report of Class I and Class II For-Hire Motor 
Carriers.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0032.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently-approved information 
collection.
    Respondents: Class I and Class II For-Hire Motor Carriers of 
Property and Class I For-Hire Motor Carriers of Passengers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 102 total (34 per year).
    Estimated Time per Response: 9 hours for Form M and 0.3 hours for 
Form MP-1.
    Expiration Date: May 31, 2022.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 306 hours [306 hours (Form M) + 0 
hours (Form MP-1)].
    Estimated annual respondents for Form M decreased from 43 in the

[[Page 59447]]

previously approved ICR to 34 in the current ICR. Estimated annual 
burden hours for Form M decreased by 78 hours [306 proposed hours-384 
currently approved hours = -78 hours]. Estimated annual respondents for 
Form MP-1 stayed the same. The previously approved ICR had 0 annual 
hours. The current ICR has 0 annual hours. This estimate is based on 
the number of Form M and Form MP-1 submissions received by the Agency 
between 2018 and 2020, which results in these estimates of annual 
respondents/responses for the upcoming information collection period.
    Labor costs to industry have decreased by $2,276, annually [$14,494 
in proposed costs -$16,770 currently approved costs = -$2,276]. This is 
due to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/responses. Other 
annual costs to respondents (i.e., associated with mailing completed 
forms to FMCSA) have decreased by $9 [($34 in proposed mailing costs 
for Form M + $0 in proposed mailing costs for Form MP-1)-($43 in 
previously approved mailing costs for Form M + $0 in previously 
approved mailing costs for Form MP-1) = $-9]. This change is also due 
to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/responses.
    For the Federal Government, annual costs have increased by $6 [$79 
in proposed costs -$73 in previously approved costs = $6]. This 
increase is due to a revision in the federal government employee load 
rate, which was revised to be consistent with other FMCSA ICRs.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to 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.
