SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: FMCSA registers for-hire
motor carriers under 49 U.S.C. 13902,
surface freight forwarders under 49
U.S.C. 13903, and property brokers
under 49 U.S.C. 13904. Each registration
is effective from the date specified
under 49 U.S.C. 13905(c). 49 CFR part
365.413 states for-hire motor carriers,
brokers and freight forwarders are
required to notify MC–RS when they
change the name or form of business.
Currently, the name change request can
be filed online through the Licensing
and Insurance (L&I) Web site, or
companies can fax or mail a letter
requesting either name or address

changes. Carriers can also request
reinstatement of a revoked operating
authority either via fax or online via the
L&I Web site. About 39% of name
change, address change, and
reinstatement requests are received by
mail; 38% are filed online; and 23% are
filed by faxing a request letter to MC–
RS. The information collected is then
entered in the L&I database by FMCSA
staff. This enables FMCSA to maintain
up-to-date records so that the agency
can recognize the entity in question in
case of enforcement actions or other
procedures required to ensure that the
carrier is fit, willing and able to provide
for-hire transportation services, and so
that entities whose authority has been
revoked can resume operation if they
are not otherwise blocked from doing
so. This multi-purpose form simplifies
the process of gathering the information
needed to process the entities’ requests
in a timely manner, with the least
amount of effort for all parties involved.
This multi-purpose form is filed by
registrants on a voluntary, as-needed
basis. This multi-purpose form is on the
FMCSA Web site so entities could
access and print/fax/email the form to
MC–RS.
The form prompts users to report the
following data points (whichever are
relevant to their records change
request):
1. What are the legal/doing business
as (dba) names of the entity/
representative?
2. What is the contact information of
entity/representatives (phone number,
address, fax number, email address)?
3. What are the requested changes to
name or address of entity?
4. What is the docket MC/MX/FX
number of the entity?
5. What is the US DOT number of the
entity?
6. Is there any change in ownership,
management or control of the entity?
7. What kind of changes is the entity
making to the company?
8. Which authority does the entity/
representative wish to reinstate, motor
carrier or broker?
9. Does the entity/representative
authorize the fee for the name change or
reinstatement?
10. Does the entity/representative
authorize the reinstatement of operating
authority or name/address change?
11. What is the credit card
information (name, number, expiration
date, address, date) for the card used to
pay the fee?
Title: Motor Carrier Records Change
Form.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0060.
Type of Request: Renewal collection.
Respondents: For-hire motor carriers,
brokers and freight forwarders.

Application for Exemption; Hub Group
Trucking Inc.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of application for
exemption; request for comments.
AGENCY:

FMCSA announces that the
Hub Group Trucking Inc. (HGT) has
requested an exemption from the
electronic logging device (ELD)
requirements to permit an alternative
grandfather period for any commercial
motor vehicles added to HGT’s fleet
after the December 18, 2017, compliance
date. HGT reports that all of its 2,700
trucks are equipped with automatic onboard recording devices (AOBRDs) and
it expects to add at least 160 trucks to
its fleet in 2018. If the exemption is
granted it would allow HGT to equip the
additional trucks with AOBRDs instead
of the required ELDs until the
company’s full transition to ELDs can be
accomplished. HGT is confident that its
AOBRD-compliant approach between
December 18, 2017, and its full
