This ICR is an extension of a
currently approved collection. The FMCSA registers for-hire motor
carriers of regulated commodities under 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface
freight forwarders under 49 U.S.C 13903, and property brokers under
49 U.S.C. 13904. The Form OCE-46 allows the FMCSA to implement a
simplified process for registrants to apply voluntarily for
revocation of their registration, or any part thereof. A completed
Form OCE-46 is filed with FMCSA by the registrant for the purpose
of requesting that all, or a part, of its operating authority be
revoked. The information contained on the form is for disclosure
and is used by FMCSA in making a determination on the revocation
request. The use of Form OCE-46 has proven to be an easy and
effective means by which a registrant can request revocation of its
operating authority. Form OCE-46 is filed by registrants on a
voluntary and is a one-time basis. It calls for a very limited
amount of information to identify the registrant and the scope of
its request.

This program adjustment
increase is due to an estimated increase in the number of Form
OCE-46 filings from 3,000 to 3,501 per year, resulting in an
increase of 125 burden hours [875 proposed annual burden hours -
750 currently approved annual burden hours = 125]. Additionally,
there is an estimated $6,800 increase in costs to respondents for
notarizing and mailing the forms [$36,800 proposed annual cost to
respondents - $30,000 currently approved annual costs to
respondents = $6,800].
