SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) is 
authorized to register for-hire motor carriers of property and 
passengers under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface freight 
forwarders under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13903, and property 
brokers under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13904. These persons may 
conduct transportation services only if they are registered pursuant to 
49 U.S.C. 13901. The Secretary has delegated authority pertaining to 
these registration requirements to the FMCSA. The registration remains 
valid only if these transportation entities maintain, on file with the 
FMCSA, evidence of the required levels of financial responsibility 
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 13906. FMCSA regulations governing the financial 
responsibility requirements for these entities are found at 49 CFR part 
387. Form BMC-32 is an endorsement that must be attached to cargo 
insurance policies, but it is not filed with the FMCSA.
    The Agency is seeking approval for use of Form BMC-32 titled, 
``Endorsement for Household Goods Motor Carrier Policies of Insurance 
for Cargo Liability Under 49 U.S.C. 13906.'' Previously, Form BMC-32 
was included as part of the collection covered by OMB Control Number 
2126-0017 (``Financial Responsibility, Trucking and Freight 
Forwarding''). The last Notice of OMB Action providing approval of the 
BMC-32 form under OMB Control Number 2126-0017 was February 23, 2006, 
with an expiration date of February 28, 2009. Because 2126-0017 was 
recently renewed without including Form BMC-32, FMCSA is seeking 
approval of the form, with the intent of combining this approval with 
OMB Control Number 2126-0017.
    Title: Financial Responsibility, Trucking and Freight Forwarding.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0017.
    Type of Request: Revision of an approved ICR.
    Respondents: Household goods carriers and household goods freight 
forwarders.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,773.
    Estimated Time per Response: 10 minutes.
    Expiration Date: May 31, 2020.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 796 hours [4,773 respondents x 10 
minutes per response].
    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: May 9, 2018.

Associate Administrator for Office of Research and Information 
Technology.
