Abstract: The purpose of this request is two-fold. The request is first to renew the OMB approval of the mandatory use of Form M, the "Class I & II Motor Carriers of Property and Household Goods Annual Report." The annual report is used to collect financial, operating, equipment and employment data from individual motor carriers of property and household goods. Class I and Class II motor carriers of property are required to file Form M. Class I carriers are those with $10 million or more average annual gross transportation operating revenue (including interstate and intrastate), and Class II motor carriers are those with $3 million or more, but less than $10 million in operating revenue (including interstate and intrastate). The 2nd purpose of this request is to revise the ICR to incorporate the already OMB approved “Annual Report of Class I Motor Carriers of Passengers” ICR, OMB Control No. 2126-0031 (which is due to expire October 31, 2020), for mandatory use of the MP-1 Form, the “Annual Report Form (Motor Carriers of Passengers)” with this ICR. As a result of the ICR merge, FMCSA proposes to rename the 2126-0032 ICR as the “Annual Report of Class I and Class II For-Hire Motor Carriers” ICR. After OMB approval of the merged ICR, FMCSA proposes to submit a request to withdraw the previously approved “Annual Report of Class I Motor Carriers of Passengers” ICR, OMB Control No. 2126-0031. Class I motor carriers of passengers are required to file Form MP-1. Class I carriers are those with $5 million or more in operating revenue. The data collected will be available to users in its original form. The data is not used by the DOT. Insurance companies, consultants, law firms, academia, trade publications and others may use the data to assess industry growth and its impact on the economy, to identify industry changes that may affect national transportation, and to monitor company financial stability. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) also uses the data to inform the national annual input-output and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates. And BEA uses the data to prepare estimates of industry output and provide details on inputs to supplement the information on motor carriers of passengers collected by the U.S. Census Bureau.
