Agency Information Collection Activities; Renewal of an Approved Information Collection: Request for Revocation of Authority Granted, 58063 [2023-18237]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 163 / Thursday, August 24, 2023 / Notices One comment was received from the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) in strong support of the IC. ACOEM stated there is no standardized resource currently available that provides MEs with a reasonable example of appropriate information to consider when evaluating the medical qualification of a driver with noninsulin-treated diabetes mellitus. The ME would be able to use the information provided to evaluate whether the individual’s diabetes mellitus is stable and controlled and to make an informed and sound physical qualification determination for the driver. ACOEM also stated that the burden associated with the form would be reduced if a fillable form is available. FMCSA notes that a fillable form that can be downloaded will be available on FMCSA’s website. Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this IC, including: (1) whether the proposed collection is necessary for FMCSA to perform its functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Request for Revocation of Authority Granted. OMB Control Number: 2126–0018. Type of Request: Renewal of a currently-approved ICR. Respondents: For-hire motor carriers, freight forwarders, and property brokers. Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,699. Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes (0.25 hours). Expiration Date: September 30, 2023. Frequency of Response: Other (As needed). Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,175. Background Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Notice and request for comments. AGENCY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR) described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its review and approval and invites public comment. The FMCSA requests approval to renew an ICR titled, ‘‘Request for Revocation of Authority Granted.’’ There were 0 comments received. SUMMARY: FMCSA registers for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities under 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface freight forwarders under 49 U.S.C. 13903, and property brokers under 49 U.S.C. 13904. Each registration is effective from the date specified under 49 U.S.C. 13905 (c). Subsection (d) of 49 U.S.C. 13905 also provides that on application of the registrant, the Secretary may amend or revoke a registration, and hence the registrant’s operating authority. Form PO 00000 Frm 00141 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 58063 OCE–46 allows these registrants to apply voluntarily for revocation of their operating authority or parts thereof. If the registrant fails to maintain evidence of the required level of insurance coverage on file with FMCSA, its operating authority will be revoked involuntarily. Although the effect of both types of revocation is the same, some registrants prefer to request voluntary revocation. For various business reasons, a registrant may request revocation of some part, but not all, of its operating authority. This information collection, which supports the DOT Strategic Goal of Safety, is being revised to reflect modified estimates of burden hours and costs. For respondents, the program adjustment has resulted in increased total burden hours and an increase in respondent costs. The burden hour increase is due to an estimated increase in the number of annual filings of Form OCE–46 from 5,901 to 8,699 per year, resulting in an increase of 2,798 responses and 700 burden hours. The estimated annual labor cost for industry resulting from submitting Form OCE–46 is $67,287, an increase of $17,760. The total annual respondent cost has increased by $7,992. This increase is due to the increase in the number of respondents filing paper forms. While the online submission option exists, FMCSA still estimates that approximately 2,310 respondents will continue to file the form by mail, which incurs notarization and postage fees. For the Federal Government, the program costs have increased by $19,707 due to the increase in the number of forms received by FMCSA. Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (1) whether the proposed collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for 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.

Background

    FMCSA registers for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities 
under 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface freight forwarders under 49 U.S.C. 
13903, and property brokers under 49 U.S.C. 13904. Each registration is 
effective from the date specified under 49 U.S.C. 13905 (c). Subsection 
(d) of 49 U.S.C. 13905 also provides that on application of the 
registrant, the Secretary may amend or revoke a registration, and hence 
the registrant's operating authority. Form OCE-46 allows these 
registrants to apply voluntarily for revocation of their operating 
authority or parts thereof. If the registrant fails to maintain 
evidence of the required level of insurance coverage on file with 
FMCSA, its operating authority will be revoked involuntarily. Although 
the effect of both types of revocation is the same, some registrants 
prefer to request voluntary revocation. For various business reasons, a 
registrant may request revocation of some part, but not all, of its 
operating authority. This information collection, which supports the 
DOT Strategic Goal of Safety, is being revised to reflect modified 
estimates of burden hours and costs. For respondents, the program 
adjustment has resulted in increased total burden hours and an increase 
in respondent costs. The burden hour increase is due to an estimated 
increase in the number of annual filings of Form OCE-46 from 5,901 to 
8,699 per year, resulting in an increase of 2,798 responses and 700 
burden hours. The estimated annual labor cost for industry resulting 
from submitting Form OCE-46 is $67,287, an increase of $17,760. The 
total annual respondent cost has increased by $7,992. This increase is 
due to the increase in the number of respondents filing paper forms. 
While the online submission option exists, FMCSA still estimates that 
approximately 2,310 respondents will continue to file the form by mail, 
which incurs notarization and postage fees. For the Federal Government, 
the program costs have increased by $19,707 due to the increase in the 
number of forms received by FMCSA.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including: (1) whether the proposed 
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2) 
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for 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.
