Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This program adjustment increase of 297 estimated annual burden hours was the result of a revision to the Agency estimated filing time for the retention of Insurance Endorsements, offset by a decrease in the estimated number of carriers. In addition, there was a 28,251 decrease in the number of annual responses. This was due to a decrease in the total number of carriers and an increase in the number of vehicles into which new financial responsibility documents are placed each year. The Insurance Endorsement or Surety Bond must be maintained at the motor carrier’s principal place of business. In the previously approved supporting statement, FMCSA assumed that Insurance Endorsements are maintained in the normal course of business, whereas the retention of Surety Bonds would create an additional burden of 1 minute per carrier. As 49 CFR 387.7(d) and 49 CFR 387.31(d) require the retention of both Insurance Endorsements and Surety Bonds, FMCSA has revised that assumption to include an additional burden of 1 minute per carrier for the retention of both Surety Bonds and Insurance Endorsements.
