Background
Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) section 504(b)(2) provides the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) with authority to require carriers, lessors, associations, or classes of these entities to file annual, periodic, and special reports containing answers to questions asked by the Secretary. The Secretary may also prescribe the form of records required to be prepared or compiled and the time period during which records must be preserved (See 49 U.S.C. 504(b)(1) and (d)). FMCSA will use this data to administer its safety programs using a database of entities that are subject to its regulations. This database necessitates that these entities notify FMCSA of their existence. For example, under 49 CFR 390.19(a), FMCSA requires all motor carriers beginning operations to file Form MCS-150, "Motor Carrier Identification Report," Form MCS-150B titled, "Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and HM Permit Applications," or Form MCS-150C titled, "Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report." This report is filed by all motor carriers conducting interstate operations, intrastate operations transporting hazardous materials (HM), or international commerce before beginning operations. It asks the respondent to provide the name of the business entity that owns and controls the motor carrier operation; address and telephone of principal place of business; assigned identification number(s), type of operation, types of cargo usually transported; number of vehicles owned, term leased and trip leased; driver information; and certification statement signed by an individual authorized to sign documents on behalf of the business entity. Existing applicants will use Form MCS-150, MCS-150B, or MCS-150C to update their information in the Motor Carrier Management Information System. Applicants filing for the first time will be required to file online. Form MCS-150, MCS-150B will be used for Mexico-domiciled carriers that seek authority to operate beyond the United States municipalities on the United States-Mexico border and their commercial zones, or MCS-150C will be used by IEPs beginning operations that interchange intermodal equipment with a motor carrier or have contractual responsibility for the maintenance of intermodal equipment. The information collected from the respondents is readily available to the public. This revised ICR captures the burden of continued use of Form MCS-150, MCS-150B for motor carriers updating their registration information and for the registration of Mexico-domiciled carriers, or MCS-150C for IEPs.
