Abstract:
Under 49 U.S.C. ยงยง 13501, 13531, and 14706(f)(2), the Board is charged with oversight of certain motor carrier tariffs (the published rates that interstate movers of household goods charge for the services they offer). In its 2011 Decision and notice (76 Fed. Reg. 5,431), the Board issued preliminary regulations implementing a Congressional directive to enhance consumer protection in the case of loss or damage that occurs during interstate household-good moves. The statutorily-prescribed rules required movers to provide certain information concerning the two available cargo-liability options on the written estimate form-the first form that a moving company must give to a customer. Those disclosure requirements are the subject of this Information Collection Request, but, as further explained, no longer have any significant burden.

Short Statement:
The Board has estimated that it expects about 225 new entrants each year for the next three years (approximately five percent of the total 4,500 respondents). These new entrants would require approximately one-half hour to review the released rate decision and to cut and paste the warnings/disclosures into a general electronic form. Thus, the on-going hourly burden is reduced to 112.5 hours annually.
