Abstract:
The ICR is being revised due to a Final Rule titled, "Unified Registration System (URS)," (78 FR 52608) dated August 23, 2013. The rule will incorporate all registration form requirements previously included in this ICR, except those in the Form OP-1(MX), into a new Form MCSA-1 in the OMB Control Number 2126-0051, "FMCSA Registration/Updates," ICR. The Form OP-1(MX) in this ICR will be used by certain Mexican motor carriers and Non-North America-Domiciled Motor Carriers to register their operations with the FMCSA because they are beyond the scope of the URS Final Rule.

Changing Forms
Short Statement:
The program change decrease of – 74,368 annual burden hours [74,416 currently approved burden hours for the former OP-1 series of forms - 48 proposed burden hours for the OP-1(MX) form] are due to the transfer of the previously estimated annual burden hours for the Forms OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA) to the Form MCSA-1 in the OMB Control Number 2126-0051 ICR and the program change decrease in the estimated number of ICR responses. FMCSA now estimates a – 37,192 decrease in number of annual ICR responses [37,204 approved number of annual responses for the former OP-1 series of forms - 12 proposed number of annual responses for the OP-1 (MX) form]. The program change decrease of $11,296,400 million in estimated annual costs to respondent [$11,200,000 currently approved estimated annual costs to respondents - $3,600 proposed estimated annual costs to respondents] is due primarily to a change in the number of responses from 37,204 to 12.
