FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tura Gatling, Office of Registration Information and Licensing, Department of Transportation, OA, West Building 6th Floor, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590. Telephone: 202-385-2412; email [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (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. Form OCE-46 allows these transportation entities to apply voluntarily for revocation of their registration (operating rights) or parts thereof. If the transportation entity fails to maintain evidence of the required level of insurance coverage on file with FMCSA, its registration (operating authority) will be revoked involuntarily. Although the effect of both types of revocation is the same, some carriers prefer to request voluntary revocation. For various business reasons, a carrier may request revocation of some part, but not all, of its operating authority. This information collection supports the DOT Strategic Goal of Safety by enabling motor carriers to voluntarily request revocation of operating authority, or some part of that authority, by identifying themselves to the FMCSA. A completed Form OCE-46 is filed with FMCSA by the registrant for the purpose of requesting that all, or a part, of its registration be revoked. The information contained on the form is used by the 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 registration. Form OCE-46 is filed by registrants on a voluntary, and for the most part, one-time basis. It calls for a very limited amount of information to identify the registrant and the scope of its request. Thus, the information collection itself [[Page 14793]] has not been automated, although the information collected is ultimately entered into an automated data base. Eighty five percent (85%) of the Form OCE-46 filings are submitted electronically to FMCSA. This ICR is being revised due to an anticipated increase in the estimated number of annual filings from 3,000 to 3,501 and to account for the cost of notarizing and mailing Form OCE-46. Title: Request for Revocation of Authority Granted. OMB Control Number: 2126-0018. Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: For-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities, surface freight forwarders, and property brokers. Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,501. Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours. Expiration Date: July 31, 2017. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 875 hours [3,501 responses x 0.25 hour = 875]. 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. Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87 on: March 16, 2017.
