Background

Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration

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 (49 CFR 1.87). 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(d) of title 49,
U.S.C., grants the Secretary the
authority to amend or revoke a
registration at the registrant’s request.
Based on a 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.
Comments from the Public: The
FMCSA received no comment in
response to the 60-day comment request
Federal Register notice published on
December 26, 2013 for this ICR (78 FR
78469).
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FMCSA to perform its
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.

Background
Due to several recent fatal motorcoach
crashes, the Congress, the Department of
Transportation (DOT), specifically the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) and other
Federal oversight agencies, including
the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB), have increased their
scrutiny over the motorcoach industry
and the enforcement of and compliance
with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs). NTSB issued
safety recommendations, H–99–007 and
1 A passenger trip is one passenger from a trip.
The number of passenger trips may include one
individual taking multiple motorcoach trips per
year or even per day.

H–99–008, to the Department of
Transportation (DOT), on February 26,
1999, requiring motorcoach operators to
provide passengers with pre-trip safety
awareness information. This
recommendation resulted from NTSB’s
investigation of two motorcoach crashes
from the late 1990s which revealed that
passengers felt a general sense of panic,
not knowing what to do on a
motorcoach in the case of an emergency.
The intent of the recommendation is to
empower passengers to take their
personal safety into their own hands in
the event of an imminent hazard or
emergency situation. The decision was
made to implement the
recommendation through voluntary
adoption and compliance of pre-trip
safety briefings in the motorcoach
industry.
The goals and objectives of this
survey are to assess the current levels of
voluntary compliance by motorcoach
operators and to obtain passenger
opinions of the implementation of the
pre-trip safety awareness and emergency
preparedness information. The Form
MCSA–5868 will be used to survey
motorcoach passengers. This
information, along with its conclusions,
will not serve as a national estimate, but
will provide the Agency a general sense
of voluntary compliance and
suggestions for improvement. FMCSA
will use the information to determine
whether further evaluation is needed to
support future program, policy, and
regulatory initiatives. As appropriate,
the information will be presented to
NTSB and Congress, while also
contributing to the general literature
regarding practices for improving
motorcoach safety in the United States.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FMCSA to perform its
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.
