SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Financial Responsibility, Trucking and Freight Forwarding.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0017.
    Type of Request: Revision of an approved information collection.
    Respondents: Household goods carriers and household goods freight 
forwarders.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 366,086 respondents. (4,773 for 
the BMC-32 form + 361,313 respondents for currently approved ICR for 
the BMC-34, BMC-35, BMC-36, BMC-40, BMC-82, BMC-83, BMC-84, BMC-85, 
BMC-91, and BMC-91X forms).
    Estimated Time per Response: 10 minutes for the BMC-32 form and 10 
minutes for the BMC-34, BMC-35, BMC-36, BMC-82, BMC-83, BMC-84, BMC-85, 
BMC-91, and BMC-91X forms. 40 hours for the BMC-40 form.
    Expiration Date: May 31, 2020.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 62,483 hours (796 hours [4,773 
respondents x 10 minutes per response] for the BMC-32 form + 61,687 
hours for currently approved ICR for the BMC-34, BMC-35, BMC-36, BMC-
40, BMC-82, BMC-83, BMC-84, BMC-85, BMC-91, and BMC-91X forms).
    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 Polices of Insurance for Cargo Liability 
Under 49 U.S.C. 13906.'' Previously, Form BMC-32 was included as part 
of the BMC collection of forms approved under the ``Financial 
Responsibility, Trucking and Freight Forwarding'' ICR, OMB Control 
Number 2126-0017. However, the last OMB Notice of Action providing 
approval of the BMC-32 form under this ICR was on February 23, 2006, 
with an expiration date of February 28, 2009. The ICR was renewed by 
OMB on May 19, 2017, without including the BMC-32 form, therefore FMCSA 
is now seeking approval of the BMC-32 form, to add the form to the ICR 
which is now approved by OMB until May 31, 2020, for use of the BMC-32 
form, along with the approved use of the BMC-34, BMC-35, BMC-36, BMC-
40, BMC-82, BMC-83, BMC-84, BMC-85, BMC-91, and BMC-91X forms.
    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 FMCSA to perform its functions; (2) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the 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.
