Title: Financial Responsibility for
Motor Carrier of Passengers and Motor
Carriers of Property.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0008.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Insurance and surety
companies of motor carriers of property
(Forms MCS–90 and MCS–82) and
motor carriers of passengers (Forms
MCS–90B and MCS–82B).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,074.
Estimated Time per Response: The
FMCSA estimates it takes two minutes
to complete the Endorsement for Motor
Carrier Policies of Insurances for Public
Liability or three minutes for the Motor
Carrier Public Liability Surety Bond;
and one minute to place either
document on board the vehicle (foreigndomiciled motor carriers only) [49 CFR
387.7(f)]. These endorsements are
maintained at the motor carrier’s
principal place of business [49 CFR
387.7 (iii) (d)].
Expiration Date: March 31, 2013.
Frequency of Response: Upon
creation, change or replacement of an
insurance policy or surety bond.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
4,480 hours [(3,874 annual burden
hours for Form MCS–90B, Form MCS–
90, Form MCS–82B and Form MCS–82)
+ (606 annual burden hours for placing
legible copies of the carrier’s Insurance
Endorsements or Surety Bonds in the
cabs of all vehicles operated in the
United States) = 4,480].
Background
The Secretary of Transportation is
responsible for implementing
regulations which establish minimal
levels of financial responsibility for: (1)
For-hire motor carriers of property to
cover public liability, property damage
and environment restoration, and (2)
for-hire motor carriers of passengers to
cover public liability and property
damage. The Endorsement for Motor
Carrier Policies of Insurance for Public
Liability (Forms MCS–90/90B) and the
Motor Carrier Public Liability Surety
Bond (Forms MCS–82/82B) contain the
minimum amount of information
necessary to document that a motor
carrier of property or passengers has

obtained, and has in effect, the
minimum levels of financial
responsibility as set forth in applicable
regulations (motor carriers of property—
49 CFR 387.9; and motor carrier of
passengers—49 CFR 387.33). FMCSA
and the public can verify that a motor
carrier of property or passengers has
obtained, and has in effect, the required
minimum levels of financial
responsibility, by use of the information
enclosed within these documents.
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 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.
Issued on: February 21, 2013.

Associate Administrator for Office of
Research and Information Technology And
