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).
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 in the ICCTA and
the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users, 2005 (SAFETEA–LU).
The URS would streamline the
registration process and serve 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, except the OP–
1(MX), in this ICR were folded into the
Form MCSA–1 in 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. 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 January 14, 2017,
because these forms are still needed to
support registration processes for
entities subject to FMCSA’s regulations.
After January 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,’’ ICR.
Title: Licensing Applications for
Motor Carrier Operating Authority.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0016.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved collection.

Frequency of Response: Other (as
needed).
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 48
hours [48 hours for Year 1 + 48 hours
for Year 2 + 48 hours for Year 3 = 133
hours/3 year approval for ICR = 48
estimated average number of annual
burden hours].

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. The agency will summarize
