Abstract: This is an ICR renewal where as explained in section 15 of the supporting statement, there is a decrease in the number of respondents, an increase of 9,081 in the number of responses, and a 3,806 decrease in the amount of burden hours, due to FMCSA rounding to three decimal places, and filers who would have previously used form MCS-150, now use the form MCSA-1, which is part of the Unified Registration System information collection. The estimated cost to the Federal government has increased. The information collection is mandatory reporting requirements and consists of 3 information collection instruments. IC-1, Form MCS-150, Motor Carrier Identification Report is filed by all motor carriers conducting operations in interstate or international commerce before beginning operations. It is also used by motor carriers needing to update previously submitted information, and on a biennial update basis. IC-2, Form MCS-150B, Combined Motor Carrier Identification and HM Permit Application is filed by interstate motor carriers that transport the permitted hazardous materials. It is also used by motor carriers needing to update previously submitted information, and on a biennial update basis. IC-3, Form MCS-150C, Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report is filed by IEPs that interchange intermodal equipment with a motor carrier or have contractual responsibility for the maintenance of the intermodal equipment. FMCSA uses the information to identify its regulated entities, to help prioritize the Agency’s enforcement activities, to aid in assessing the safety outcomes of those activities, and for statistical purposes. This information collection supports the agency’s strategic goal of safety by establishing and monitoring safe operating requirements for motor carriers, commercial motor vehicle drivers, vehicles, and vehicle equipment.

Short Statement: The total annual number of responses for this ICR increased by 9,081, from 679,651 to the proposed 688,732. The total annual number of burden hours decreased by 3,806, from 119,878 to the proposed 116,072. The total cost to respondents increased by $532,756 million, from $4.6 million to the proposed $5.1 million. These changes were the result of a rounding change. The previous ICR estimated the time burden and load rates at two decimal places (0.13 hours). For this ICR, FMCSA rounded to three decimal places (0.125 hours). This change is implemented to be more consistent with other FMCSA ICRs. Another reason for these changes is that new filers, who would have previously used form MCS-150, now use form MCSA-1, which is part of the Unified Registration System information collection, and are no longer counted as part of this information collection. The total number of respondents decreased by 1,185,881, from 1,602,511 to the proposed 416,630. This decrease is largely because the past iteration assumed that the two responses coming from biennial updates would come from two respondents; however, this served to double count respondents because only one respondent submits two responses. This adjustment was made to this ICR to remove the double counting. The wage related burden costs of $5,139,668 is removed from the table above and reported in section 12 of the supporting statement. The total non-wage related burden costs shown in the table above is ($555,993+ $429+ $1605) = $558,027 For the MCS 150: (141,505 + 178,843) responses file by mail (see table 5 in the supporting statement), costing $555,993, as shown under IC1. For the MCS 150B: 421 responses file by mail (see table 5 in the supporting statement), costing $429, as shown under IC2. For the MCS 150C: 1,957 responses file by mail (see table 5 in the supporting statement), costing $1,605, as shown under IC3.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,224,434
