This ICR is due to the Agency's
development of a Final Rule entitled "Unified Registration System"
that would require those entities which are subject to the FMCSA's
licensing, registration and certification regulations to use the
application form entitled Form MCSA-1, "FMCSA
Registration/Update(s)." Every interstate motor carrier operating
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) is required to register with FMCSA
to obtain a USDOT Number. Most for-hire carriers are also required
to file a separate application for operating authority under 49
U.S.C. 13901. This MCSA-1 form will replace existing Forms MCS-150,
MCS-150B, MCS-150C and most forms in the OP-1 series (OP-1,
OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), OP-1NNA, and OP-2). This rule will streamline
the collection and eliminate the need for motor carriers to file
the same information on multiple forms.
US Code:

USC 13908 Name of Law: Registration and other reforms
This information collection
will extend the requirement for a biennial update to certain
Applicants (brokers, freight forwarders, and cargo tank facilities)
to which the requirement does not apply today, reduce the burden
associated with the filing of redundant information, and require
that all forms be filed electronically. The information will be
filed electronically on Form MCSA-1. This form will replace
existing Forms MCS-150, MCS-150B, MCS-150C and most forms in the
OP-1 series (OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), OP-1NNA, and OP-2).
