Abstract:
This information collection is mandatory reporting for which the frequency is on an as needed basis. The information is collected from for-hire motor carriers, brokers and freight forwarders who are required to notify the Office of Registration and Safety Information located within DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), when they change the name or address of their company. The name change request may be filed online through the Licensing and Insurance website, or companies may fax or mail the form requesting either name or address changes. Carriers may also, by use of this form, request reinstatement of a revoked operating authority either online or via fax. The purpose of the collection is to enable FMCSA to maintain up-to-date records which will allow the agency to recognize the entity in question in case of enforcement actions, or other procedures required to ensure the carrier is fit, willing and able to provide for-hire transportation services. The collection will also enable entities whose authority has been revoked to undergo the process to resume operations, if they are not otherwise blocked from doing so. This multi-purpose form simplifies the process of gathering the information needed to process the entities’ requests in a timely manner, with the least amount of effort for all parties involved. The information reported to and collected by FMCSA is motor carrier identification information (such as legal names, DOT numbers, etc.), phone numbers, address changes, changes in ownership, management, or control of the company, reinstatement of operating authority information, and payment information. The request is a revision because FMCSA added a Yes/No question, added the Applicant’s Oath, removed one question asking whether the applicant or its representative completed the form, and removed three questions pertaining to name, title, and signature.
