Abstract: The purpose of this request is to renew the currently OMB approved ICR. Form M is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of property and household goods. All for-hire (common and contract) motor carriers of property with gross annual operating revenue of $3 million or more must file the annual report Form M. Form MP-1 is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of passengers. All Class I for-hire motor carriers of passengers with gross annual operating revenues of $5 million or more are required to file the annual report Form MP-1. FMCSA has created electronic forms that may be prepared, signed electronically, and submitted to FMCSA via https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/. However, paper forms can still be mailed to FMCSA. Additionally, FMCSA revised Form M to limit the information solicited to that which is statutorily required. FMCSA also created the option, for both forms, for the filer to upload their own document, showing the same information as requested in the relevant form, in lieu of completing the form itself. The data collected is available to users in its original form. The data are not used by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the data is no longer used by trucking associations. The agency is also considering how it might remove some of this reporting requirement, consistent with statue, through a separate rulemaking, but the agency needs to renew the Collection of Information now while that process plays out. 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. In the past, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) used the data to inform the national annual input-output and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates, to prepare estimates of industry output, and to provide details on inputs to supplement the information on motor carriers of passengers collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. FMCSA is not aware of anyone currently using this information. FMCSA does not use the information collected through either Form M or Form MP-1, nor does it enforce the filing requirements found in part 369. The Agency was not provided the necessary resources to administer the data collection and the financial reports are of little if any value in fulfilling the Agency’s safety mission. The estimated annual respondents for Form M decreased from 34 in the previously approved ICR to 4 in the current ICR. The estimated annual burden hours for From M decreased by 270 hours to 36 hours [36 proposed hours – 306 currently approved hours = -270 hours]. Estimated annual respondents for Form MP-1 stayed the same. This estimate is based off the number of Form M and Form MP-1 submissions received by the Agency between 2022 and 2024, which results in these estimates of annual respondents/responses for the upcoming information collection period.

Short Statement: Estimated annual respondents for Form M decreased from 34 in the previously approved ICR to 4 in the current ICR. Estimated annual burden hours for Form M decreased by 270 [36 proposed hours – 306 currently approved hours = -270]. Estimated annual respondents for Form MP-1 stayed the same from 0 in the previously approved ICR to 0 in the current ICR. Estimated annual burden hours for Form MP-1 decreased by 0 hours for Information Collection 2 (Form MP-1). The change is due to the decrease in the number of Form M submissions received by the Agency between 2022 and 2024, which has resulted in lower estimates of annual respondents/responses for the upcoming information collection period. Labor costs to the industry have decreased by $12,644 annually [$1,854 in proposed costs − $14,498 currently approved costs = −$12,644]. This is due to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/responses. For the Federal Government, annual costs have decreased by $68 [$11 in proposed costs − $79 in previously approved costs = −$68]. This decrease is due to the decreased estimates of annual respondents/responses.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $11
