Short Statement:
The program adjustment decrease of -62,521 estimated annual burden hours [93,792 currently approved annual hours – 31,271 proposed annual hours = 62,521] for this ICR is due primarily to a decrease of -344,559 in the estimated annual number of responses [539,616 currently approved annual responses – 195,055 proposed annual responses = 344,559], as shown below. The estimated annual burden hours and responses for this ICR will decrease due to the implementation of the Unified Registration System on September 30, 2016. After this date, all forms except the MCS-150 in this ICR will be folded into the Form MCSA-1 in the OMB Control Number 2126-0051, “FMCSA Registration/Updates,” ICR. The Form MCS-150 will be retained in years 2 and 3 of this ICR approval for the small number of Mexico-domiciled carriers that seek authority to operate beyond the United States municipalities on the U.S.-Mexico border because they are not included in the scope of the URS.
