The purpose of this request is to renew the currently OMB approved ICR. Form M is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of property and household goods. All for-hire (common and contract) motor carriers of property with gross annual operating revenue of $3 million or more must file the annual report Form M. Form MP-1 is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of passengers. All Class I for-hire motor carriers of passengers with gross annual operating revenues of $5 million or more are required to file the annual report Form MP-1. FMCSA has created electronic forms that may be prepared, signed electronically, and submitted to FMCSA via https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/. However, forms can still be mailed to FMCSA. The data collected is available to users in its original form. The data are not used by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and, based on a comment to a proposed rule finalized on December 17, 2013 (78 FR 76241), the data are no longer used by trucking associations. The agency is also considering how it might remove some of this reporting requirement, consistent with statue, through a separate rulemaking, but the agency needs to renew the Collection of Information now while that process plays out. Insurance companies, consultants, law firms, academia, trade publications and others may use the data to assess industry growth and its impact on the economy, to identify industry changes that may affect national transportation, and to monitor company financial stability. In the past, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) used the data to inform the national annual input-output and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates, to prepare estimates of industry output, and to provide details on inputs to supplement the information on motor carriers of passengers collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. FMCSA is not aware of anyone currently using this information. FMCSA does not use the information collected through either Form M or Form MP-1, nor does it enforce the filing requirements found in part 369. The Agency was not provided the necessary resources to administer the data collection and the financial reports are of little if any value in fulfilling the Agency’s safety mission.

There were a decreased number of Form M and Form MP-1 submissions received by the Agency between 2016 and 2018, which has resulted in lower estimates of annual number of respondents and responses. The estimated annual number of respondents for Form M decreased from 96 in the currently approved ICR to 43 in the proposed ICR. This is a decrease of 53 annual respondents. The estimated annual burden hours for Form M decreased from 864 in the currently approved ICR to 387 hours in the proposed ICR. This is a decrease of 477 annual burden hours. The number of respondents for the MP-1 form was previously 2, but is now proposed as zero in the supporting statement, however at least 1 respondent has to be entered into ROCIS. The estimated annual burden hours for Form MP-1 decreased from 1 hour in the currently approved ICR to zero proposed hours, which is a decrease of 1 (1-0) annual burden hour. The total decrease in the table is therefore 477 +1 = 478 burden hours and 53 + 1 = 54 responses. The total burden costs of $38,870 ($38,811 + $69) from the current renewal was calculated using hourly wages, therefore it was removed from the table above. The proposed burden costs to the industry for Form M have decreased by $20,780, annually [$38,811 in the currently approved burden cost − $18,031 in the proposed burden cost = $20,780]. The proposed burden costs to the industry for Form MP-1 have decreased by $59 annually [$59 in the currently approved burden cost − $0 in the proposed burden cost = $59].
