SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: In chapter 141 of the ICC Termination Act of 1995 
(ICCTA), Public Law 104-88, 109 Stat. 803, 893 (Dec. 29, 1995) now 
codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123, Congress transferred the responsibility 
for collecting the Financial and Operating Statistics (F&OS) data to 
the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary). The ICCTA requires the 
Secretary to collect annual financial reports from Class I and Class II 
motor carriers of passengers. However, the Secretary has exercised the 
authority under 49 U.S.C. 14123 to require only Class I motor carriers 
of passengers to file annual reports to ensure that they are in 
compliance with the F&OS program requirements (See 78 FR 76241 (12/17/
13), as codified at 49 CFR 369.4).
    The Form MP-1 annual report will be used 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 annual reports.
    The data will be available to users in its original form. The data 
are not used

[[Page 14104]]

by the Department of Transportation, and, based on comments to the 
proposed rule finalized on December 17, 2013, as discussed above, the 
data are no longer used by trucking associations. 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. The Bureau of Economic Analysis 
(BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce uses the data to inform the 
national annual input-output and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) 
estimates. BEA uses the data to prepare estimates of industry output 
and provide details on inputs to supplement the information on motor 
carriers of passengers collected by the U.S. Census Bureau.
    Title: Annual Report of Class I Motor Carriers of Passengers.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0031.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Respondents: Motor Carriers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 408.
    Estimated Time per Response: 18 minutes.
    Expiration Date: April 30, 2017.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 122 hours (408 responses x 18 
minutes per response/60 = 122.4 rounded to 122).

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 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 or include your 
comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
