Abstract: This non-substantive change request is to update the expiration date for the forms MCS-82, MCS-82B, MCS-90, and MCS-90B. DOT promulgates regulations that establish minimum levels of financial responsibility for motor carriers of property to cover public liability, property damage, and environmental restoration, and minimum levels of financial responsibility for for-hire motor carriers of passengers to cover public liability and property damage. It is mandated that motor carriers maintain proof of the required financial responsibility at their principal places of business, available upon request of an FMCSA safety investigator during investigations or audits. Insurance endorsements and surety bonds are considered public information and must be produced by a motor carrier of property or a motor carrier of passengers for review upon reasonable request by a member of the public. Motor carriers domiciled in Canada, Mexico, and non-North America (NNA) domiciled carriers who transport property or conduct passenger transportation operations within the United States must obtain an insurance endorsement or surety bond. All vehicles operated in the United States by these motor carriers must have a legible copy of the insurance endorsement or surety bond in the vehicle available to Federal or State enforcement officials during roadside inspections. FMCSA and the public use the information collected to verify that a motor carrier of property or passengers has obtained, and has in effect, the required minimum levels of financial responsibility. This ICR has a program adjustment of an increase in annual responses and burden hours due to a 51 percent increase in the number of entities that registered in 2020-2022. The information collections (ICs) are as follows: IC1.1 - Property carriers to complete MCS-90 (insurance) IC1.2 - Property carriers to complete MCS-82 (surety) IC2.1 - Passenger carriers to complete MCS-90B (insurance) IC2.2 - Passenger carriers to complete MCS-82B (surety) IC1.3a - U.S. Property carriers to store MCS-90 (insurance) IC1.3b - U.S. Property carriers to store MCS-82 (surety) IC2.3a - U.S. Passenger carriers to store MCS-90B (insurance) IC2.3b - U.S. Passenger carriers to store MCS-82B (surety) IC1.3c - Mexico, NNA and Canada property carriers to store MCS-90 (insurance) IC1.3d - Mexico, NNA and Canada property carriers to store MCS-82 (surety) IC2.3c - Mexico, NNA and Canada passenger carriers to store MCS-90B (insurance) IC2.3d - Mexico, NNA and Canada passenger carriers to store MCS-82B (surety)
