A NOI to prepare an EIS was published in the Federal Register on February 9, 2009. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION For FHWA: Gilberto De Leo´n, P.E.; Acting Division Administrator; Federal Highway Administration; Tennessee Division Office; 404 BNA Drive, Building 200, Suite 508, Nashville, TN 37217; Telephone: 615–426–3214; email: gilberto.deleon@dot.gov.

Polk Building, Suite 900, 505 Deaderick Street, Nashville, TN 37243; Telephone: 615– 350–4208; email: sharon.schutz@tn.gov. The TDOT Environmental Division’s normal business hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Central Time), Monday through Friday. [Docket No. FMCSA–2023–0181] FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), initiated an EIS with a NOI published in the Federal Register on February 9, 2009, at 74 FR 6203. The project would have improved North Second Street and North Third Street to form a one-way pair from I–40 to Chelsea Avenue and would have constructed a four-lane two-way roadway from Chelsea Avenue to the intersection of U.S. 51 and Whitney Avenue north of downtown Memphis. The TDOT has determined continued preparation of the EIS for the North Second Street Improvements (Project) is no longer feasible. The primary reason for this determination is the financial impact of the costs required to fund the remaining phases of the project. Therefore, the preparation of the EIS is being terminated.

SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Motor Carrier Records Change Form. OMB Control Number: 2126–0060. Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved ICR.

Background FMCSA registers for-hire motor carriers 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). ‘‘Procedures for changing the name or business form of a motor carrier, freight forwarder, or property broker,’’ (49 CFR 365.413T) states that motor carriers, forwarders, and brokers must submit the required information to FMCSA’s Office of Registration requesting the change. Paragraph (f) of § 360.3T mentions fees that FMCSA collects for ‘‘petition for reinstatement of revoked operating authority,’’ but does not provide any specifics for the content that petition should take. Motor carriers, freight forwarders, and property brokers are required to use Form MCSA–5889 to request a name or address change and to request reinstatement of a revoked operating authority. Respondents can submit the form online through the Licensing and Insurance (L&I) website, by fax, or by mail. According to data collected between 2020 and 2022, annually, approximately 1 percent of forms are submitted by mail; 7 percent are submitted by fax; and 92 percent are submitted online. The information collected is then entered in the L&I database by FMCSA staff. Form MCSA–5889 enables FMCSA to maintain up-to-date records so that the Agency can recognize the entity in question in case of enforcement actions or other procedures required to ensure that the carrier is willing and able to provide for-hire transportation services, and so that entities whose operating authority has been revoked can resume operation if they are not otherwise blocked from doing so. This multipurpose form, filed by registrants on a voluntary, as-needed basis, simplifies the process of gathering the information needed to process the entities’ requests in a timely manner, with the least amount of effort for all parties involved. The form prompts users to report the following data points (whichever are relevant to their records change request): 1. Requestor’s fax number, email address, and applicant’s oath. 2. Entity’s legal/doing business as names, USDOT number, docket MC/ MX/FX number, current street address, and phone number(s). 3. Affiliations with FMCSA-licensed entities. VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:55 May 06, 2024 Jkt 262001 4. Requested changes to the entity’s address. 5. Requested changes to the entity’s name and/or ownership, management, or control. 6. Type(s) of operating authority the entity wishes to reinstate. 7. Credit card information (name, number, expiration date, address, date) if filing a name change or reinstatement. Changes From Previous Estimates The currently approved version of this ICR estimated the average annual burden to be 6,781 annual burden hours, with 27,122 total annual respondents. For this renewal the estimated average annual burden is 16,168, with 64,673 total average annual respondents. The annual burden hour increase of 9,387 is due to the increase in the average number of annual respondents. 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 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). ``Procedures for changing the name 
or business form of a motor carrier, freight forwarder, or property 
broker,'' (49 CFR 365.413T) states that motor carriers, forwarders, and 
brokers must submit the required information to FMCSA's Office of 
Registration requesting the change. Paragraph (f) of Sec.  360.3T 
mentions fees that FMCSA collects for ``petition for reinstatement of 
revoked operating authority,'' but does not provide any specifics for 
the content that petition should take.
    Motor carriers, freight forwarders, and property brokers are 
required to use Form MCSA-5889 to request a name or address change and 
to request reinstatement of a revoked operating authority. Respondents 
can submit the form online through the Licensing and Insurance (L&I) 
website, by fax, or by mail. According to data collected between 2020 
and 2022, annually, approximately 1 percent of forms are submitted by 
mail; 7 percent are submitted by fax; and 92 percent are submitted 
online. The information collected is then entered in the L&I database 
by FMCSA staff.
    Form MCSA-5889 enables FMCSA to maintain up-to-date records so that 
the Agency can recognize the entity in question in case of enforcement 
actions or other procedures required to ensure that the carrier is 
willing and able to provide for-hire transportation services, and so 
that entities whose operating authority has been revoked can resume 
operation if they are not otherwise blocked from doing so. This multi-
purpose form, filed by registrants on a voluntary, as-needed basis, 
simplifies the process of gathering the information needed to process 
the entities' requests in a timely manner, with the least amount of 
effort for all parties involved.
    The form prompts users to report the following data points 
(whichever are relevant to their records change request):
    1. Requestor's fax number, email address, and applicant's oath.
    2. Entity's legal/doing business as names, USDOT number, docket MC/
MX/FX number, current street address, and phone number(s).
    3. Affiliations with FMCSA-licensed entities.
    4. Requested changes to the entity's address.
    5. Requested changes to the entity's name and/or ownership, 
management, or control.
    6. Type(s) of operating authority the entity wishes to reinstate.
    7. Credit card information (name, number, expiration date, address, 
date) if filing a name change or reinstatement.

Changes From Previous Estimates

    The currently approved version of this ICR estimated the average 
annual burden to be 6,781 annual burden hours, with 27,122 total annual 
respondents. For this renewal the estimated average annual burden is 
16,168, with 64,673 total average annual respondents. The annual burden 
hour increase of 9,387 is due to the increase in the average number of 
annual respondents.
    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.
