Caltrans, as the delegated National

will also include the addition of
auxiliary lanes, where necessary (lanes
used to separate entering, exiting, or
weaving traffic from through traffic).
Improvements to local streets and
interchanges would be required as part
of the Project. Interchanges that would
be affected include the I–605/Slauson
Avenue Interchange, I–605/Washington
Boulevard Interchange, I–605/Whittier
Boulevard Interchange, I–605/Beverly
Boulevard Interchange, I–605/Rose Hills
Road Interchange, I–605/Peck Road
Interchange, I–605/SR 60 Interchange, I–
605/Valley Boulevard Interchange, and

regulated commodities, motor passenger
carriers, freight forwarders, property
brokers, and certain Mexico-domiciled
motor carriers to register their

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 19, 2016 / Notices

Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Licensing Applications for
Motor Carrier Operating Authority.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0016.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Motor carriers, motor
passenger carriers, freight forwarders,
brokers, and certain Mexico-domiciled
motor carriers.
Estimated Number of Respondents
and Responses: 37,240 respondents
[(37,216 respondents and responses for
Year 1) + (12 respondents and responses
for Year 2) + (12 respondents and
responses for Year 3)].
Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours
for forms OP–1, OP–1(P), OP–1(FF) and
4 hours for forms OP–1(MX), OP–
1(NNA).
Expiration Date: October 31, 2016.
Frequency of Response: Other (as
needed).
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
24,853 hours [74,464 hours for Year 1 +
48 hours for Year 2 + 48 hours for Year
3 = 74,560 hours/3 year approval for ICR
= 24,853 estimated average number of
annual burden hours].
Background: The FMCSA registers
for-hire motor carriers of regulated
commodities, motor passenger carriers,
freight forwarders, property brokers, and
certain for-hire Mexico-domiciled motor
carriers under 49 U.S.C. 13902(c). These
motor carriers may conduct
transportation services in the United
States only if they are registered with
the FMCSA. Each registration is
effective from the date specified and
remains in effect for such period as the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary)
determines by regulations. The ICC
Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA),
Public Law 104–88, 109 Stat. 803
(December 29, 1995), transferred this
registration authority from the former
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)
to the Secretary who subsequently
delegated the registration function to the
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) (FMCSA’s predecessor agency),
then to the FMCSA at the time that
agency was created.
On March 19, 2002, the FMCSA
published an interim final rule (IFR) at
67 FR 12702 which proposed to amend
49 CFR part 365 and revise Form OP–
1(MX). Under the amended regulations,
Mexico-domiciled long-haul motor
carriers seeking to operate within the
United States beyond the commercial
border zones, including carriers that
previously filed pending Form OP–
1(MX) applications, would be required
to submit the revised Form OP–1(MX).

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001

Under the revised Form OP–1(MX), the
FMCSA would collect more detailed
information on an applicant motor
carrier’s size, operations and history
than could be collected previously by
using the existing form.
The Final Rule titled, ‘‘Unified
Registration System,’’ (78 FR 52608)
dated August 23, 2013, implemented
statutory provisions for an on-line
registration system required by ICCTA
and the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users, 2005 (SAFETEA–LU).
The URS streamlines the registration
process and serves as a clearinghouse
and repository of information on, and
identification of, motor carriers, brokers,
freight forwarders, intermodal
equipment providers (IEPs), hazardous
materials safety permit (HMSP)
applicants, and cargo tank facilities
required to register with FMCSA. This
ICR previously covered registration
requirements for non-exempt for-hire
carriers, freight forwarders, and
property brokers. Under the URS, all
forms in this ICR, except the OP–1
(MX), were folded into the Form
MCSA–1 under the OMB Control
Number 2126–0051 titled, ‘‘FMCSA
Registration/Updates,’’ ICR on October
23, 2015. The Form OP–1(MX) would be
retained for the small number of
Mexico-domiciled carriers that seek
authority to operate beyond the United
States municipalities on the United
States-Mexico border and their
commercial zones because they are not
included within the scope of the URS
rule.
The Final Rule titled, ‘‘Unified
Registration System,’’ (80 FR 63695)
dated October 21, 2015, changed the
effective and compliance dates of the
2013 URS Final Rule from October 23,
2015, to September 30, 2016, in order to
allow FMCSA additional time to
complete the information technology
(IT) systems work required to fully
implement that rule. An additional
delay was published on July 28, 2016
(81 FR 49553), stating the URS Final
Rule will come into effect on January
14, 2017, however the full compliance
date is April 14, 2017. This ICR revision
will restore the Forms OP–1, OP–1(P),
OP–1(FF), and OP–1(NNA) under
control number 2126–0016, until the
scheduled URS full compliance date of
April 14, 2017, because these forms are
still needed to support registration
processes for entities subject to
FMCSA’s regulations that enforce these
motor carriers to update their
registration for operating authority, or
add additional authorities with FMCSA,
in order to conduct for-hire interstate
transportation services of passengers, or

regulated commodities, in the United
States. After April 14, 2017, all forms in
this ICR, except the OP–1(MX), will be
folded into the online Form MCSA–1
under the OMB Control Number 2126–
0051 titled, ‘‘FMCSA Registration/
Updates.’’
Public Comments Invited: No
comments were received from the
public in response to the 60-day Federal
Register (81 FR 53539), issued on
August 12, 2016. You are asked to
comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s 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 under the authority delegated in 49
CFR 1.87 on: October 13, 2016.
