Abstract: Under 49 U.S.C. §§ 13501, 13531, and 14706(f)(2), the Board is charged with oversight of certain motor carrier tariffs (the published rates that interstate movers of household goods charge for the services they offer). In its 2011 Decision and notice (76 Fed. Reg. 5,431), the Board issued preliminary regulations implementing a Congressional directive to enhance consumer protection in the case of loss or damage that occurs during interstate household-good moves. The 2011 Decision required movers to provide certain information concerning the two available cargo-liability options on the written estimate form-the first form that a moving company must give to a customer. Those disclosure requirements are the subject of this Information Collection Request.

Short Statement: The change to an existing form to include the Board’s released rate notice was a one-time, start-up cost for existing Movers (as they had to replace existing forms). The one-time cost required by the Board was considered in the cost analysis of the Board’s previous approval for this collection. Nor do new entrants have any additional costs to include this notice on the form already required by FMCSA.
