    Title: Application for Certificate of Registration for Foreign 
Motor Carriers and Foreign Motor Private Carriers.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0019.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved ICR.
    Respondents: Foreign motor carriers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 585.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 hours.
    Expiration Date: October 31, 2024.

    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 878.

Background

    Title 49 U.S.C. 13902(c) contains basic licensing procedures for 
registering foreign (Mexico-based) motor carriers to operate across the 
U.S.-Mexico international border into the United States. The 
regulations that require foreign (Mexico-based) motor carriers to apply 
to FMCSA for a Certificate of Registration to provide interstate 
transportation in municipalities in the United States on the U.S.-
Mexico international border or within the commercial zones of such 
municipalities as defined in 49 U.S.C. 13902(c)(4)(A) are found at 49 
CFR part 368. FMCSA carries out this registration program under 
authority delegated by the Secretary of Transportation.
    Foreign (Mexico-based) motor carriers with existing Certificates of 
Registration may continue to use Form OP-2 to update their registration 
information with FMCSA. The form requests information on the foreign 
motor carrier's name, address, U.S. DOT number, form of business (e.g., 
corporation, sole proprietorship, partnership), locations where the 
applicant plans to operate, types of registration requested (e.g., for-
hire motor carrier, household goods carrier, motor private carrier), 
insurance, safety certifications, household goods arbitration 
certifications, and compliance certifications.

Changes From Previous Estimates

    The currently approved version of this ICR estimated the average 
annual burden to be 47 annual burden hours, with 31 total annual 
respondents. For this renewal, the estimated average annual burden is 
878 hours, and 585 average annual respondents, based on an estimated 
burden of 1.5 hours per respondent. The estimated annual burden hour 
increase of 831 hours is due primarily to the increase in the number of 
updated OP-2 forms filed from 2020 through 2022. The average number of 
entities which filed updated OP-2 forms in the three-year period 2020 
through 2022 increased by 95 percent compared to the number that 
registered from 2017 through 2019.
    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.
