information collection.
Respondents: LCV training providers
who train new LCV drivers; drivers who
complete LCV training each year;
current LCV drivers who submit their
LCV Driver-Training Certificate to
prospective employers; and employers
(motor carriers) receiving and
maintaining copies of the LCV DriverTraining certificates of their drivers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50,708, consisting of 218 LCV training
providers, plus 218 newly-certified LCV
drivers, plus 25,027 currently-certified
LCV drivers, plus 25,245 motor carriers

successfully complete the LCV training,
and 10 minutes for activities associated
with the LCV Driver-Training Certificate
during the hiring process.
Expiration Date: May 31, 2020.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
4,244 hours. The total number of drivers
who will be subjected to these
requirements each year is 25,245,

drivers, and 25,027 currently-certified
LCV drivers obtaining new employment.
Additionally, 218 LCV training

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: 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.
Each registration is effective from the
date specified under 49 U.S.C. 13905
(c).
Subsection (d) of 49 U.S.C. 13905 also
provides that on application of the
registrant, the Secretary may amend or
revoke a registration, and hence the
registrant’s operating authority. Form
OCE–46 allows these registrants to
apply voluntarily for revocation of their
operating authority or parts thereof. If
the registrant fails to maintain evidence
of the required level of insurance
coverage on file with FMCSA, its
operating authority will be revoked
involuntarily. Although the effect of
both types of revocation is the same,
some registrants prefer to request
voluntary revocation. For various
business reasons, a registrant may
request revocation of some part, but not
all, of its operating authority.
This information collection, which
supports the DOT Strategic Goal of
Safety, is being revised to reflect
modified estimates of burden hours and
costs. For respondents, the program
adjustment has resulted in increased
total burden hours and an increase in
respondent costs. The burden hour
increase is due to an estimated increase
in the number of annual filings of Form
OCE–46 from 3,501 to 5,901 per year,
resulting in an increase of 2,400
responses and 600 burden hours.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001

The previous iteration of this ICR did
not include estimated labor costs for
respondents; it only reported the
estimated annual burden hours. This
version adds estimated labor costs
according to best practices. The
estimated annual labor cost for industry
resulting from submitting Form OCE–46
is $49,527.
The total annual respondent cost has
decreased by $20,190. This decrease is
due to the fact that respondents may
now file the form online, at no charge.
While the online submission option
exists, FMCSA still estimates that
approximately 1,567 respondents will
continue to file the form by mail, which
incurs notarization and postage fees.
For the Federal Government, the
program costs have increased by
$11,176. While this ICR revised the
Federal labor wage load factor
downward to be consistent with the
methodology used in other FMCSA
ICRs, the overall cost to the Federal
Government increased due to the
increase in the number of forms
received by FMCSA.
Title: Request for Revocation of
Authority Granted.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0018.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents: For-hire motor carriers,
freight forwarders, and property brokers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5,901.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes (0.25 hours).
Expiration Date: September 30, 2020.
Frequency of Response: Other (as
needed).
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
1,475 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
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

information; and (4) ways that the
burden could be minimized without
