The comment period is being
reopened to allow more time for the
public to comment on this proposed
survey. FMCSA is committed to
obtaining information that will provide
insight into the common safety and
regulatory compliance challenges facing
motor carriers with small passengercarrying CMV operations. Such
information provided in the comments
will also be utilized by FMCSA to
develop educational outreach initiatives
for the affected industry segment. It is
appropriate that FMCSA connect with
and inform this segment of the motor
carrier industry of its regulatory
compliance responsibilities before
implementing an enforcement program.
Any information obtained will help
identify specific areas of regulatory
compliance that are problematic for this
industry segment. The survey will also
obtain needed insight about how to best
provide and distribute information to
the affected industry segment.

Form: OCE–46.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 813
hours [3,250 annual Form OCE–46 filers
× 15 minutes/60 minutes per filing =
812.5 hours, rounded to 813 hours].
Background: Title 49 of the United
States Code (U.S.C.) authorizes the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary)
to promulgate regulations governing the
registration of for-hire motor carriers of
regulated commodities (49 U.S.C.
13902), surface transportation freight
forwarders (49 U.S.C. 13903), and
property brokers (49 U.S.C. 13904). The
FMCSA carries out this registration
program under authority delegated by
the Secretary. Under 49 U.S.C. 13905,
each registration is effective from the
date specified and remains in effect for
such period as the Secretary determines
appropriate by regulation. Section
13905(c) of title 49, U.S.C., grants the
Secretary the authority to amend or
revoke a registration at the registrant’s
request. On complaint, or on the
Secretary’s own initiative, the Secretary
may also suspend, amend, or revoke any
part of the registration of a motor
carrier, broker, or freight forwarder for
willful failure to comply with the
regulations, an order of the Secretary, or
a condition of its registration.
Form OCE–46 is used by
transportation entities to voluntarily
apply for revocation of their registration
authority in whole or in part. FMCSA
uses the form to seek information
concerning the registrant’s docket
number, name and address, and the
reasons for the revocation request.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for performance of FMCSA’s
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways for the
FMCSA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected
information; and (4) ways that the
burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, section 2,
109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On July 5, 2007,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
ICRs that the agency was seeking OMB
approval. 72 FR 36750. FRA received
one comment in response to this notice.
The letter came from Mr. John P.
Tolman, Vice President and National
Legislative Director of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen
(BLET). BLET, a Division of the Rail
Conference of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, is the duly
designated and recognized collective
bargaining representative for the craft or
class of Locomotive Engineer employed
on all Class I railroads. BLET also
represents operating and other
employees on numerous Class II and
Class III railroads. In his comments, Mr.
Tolman noted the following:
* * * the proposed information collection
activity would have a significant impact on
our members. For the reasons set forth below,
BLET strongly supports and urges OMB to
approve the request.
Recognizing the potential safety benefit of
C3RS—as evidenced by successes in similar
programs in the aviation and health care
industries—the BLET was a founding
member of the C3RS National Planning
Committee, and is a member of the successor
C3RS National Steering Committee. We have
