Abstract:
The forms above are used by for-hire motor carriers, freight forwarders and brokers to meet the statutory requirement to submit evidence of financial responsibility prior to their registration by the FMCSA as condition for continuation of their registration. This revision is due to a Final Rule entitled, " Unified Registration System," that would add the requirement for exempt for-hire motor carriers and private interstate motor carriers of hazardous materials (private interstate hazmat carriers)to file proof of liability insurance with FMCSA.

Short Statement:
This proposed revision would result in a program change increase of 6,114 average annual burden hours [60,418 proposed average annual burden - 54,304 currently approved annual burden hours = 6,114]. The change in burden hours has occurred to recognize the increase in the number of respondents filing Form BMC-91X that would result from the proposed requirement for private hazmat and exempt for-hire interstate carriers to have their insurers file information on their insurance coverage and the addition of freight forwarders to the BMC-84 and BMC-85 as required by MAP-21. However, respondents costs will decrease from $905,709 to $110. The previous ICR submission incorrectly classified labor costs as a cost to respondents. The costs were adjusted downward to reflect only the operating and maintenance (O&M) costs associated with the rule.
