An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, or modify an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection,
supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.
The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after
which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.
ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Pub.L. 104 - 88 100 Stat. 803 (View Law) Pub.L. 107 - 87 115 Stat.. 833 (View Law) Abstract
This is an ICR renewal where as explained in section 15 of the supporting statement, there is a decrease in the number of respondents, an increase of 9,081 in the number of responses, and a 3,806 decrease in the amount of burden hours, due to FMCSA rounding to three decimal places, and filers who would have previously used form MCS-150, now use the form MCSA-1, which is part of the Unified Registration System information collection. The estimated cost to the Federal government has increased. The information collection is mandatory reporting requirements and consists of 3 information collection instruments. IC-1, Form MCS-150, Motor Carrier Identification Report is filed by all motor carriers conducting operations in interstate or international commerce before beginning operations. It is also used by motor carriers needing to update previously submitted information, and on a biennial update basis. IC-2, Form MCS-150B, Combined Motor Carrier Identification and HM Permit Application is filed by interstate motor carriers that transport the permitted hazardous materials. It is also used by motor carriers needing to update previously submitted information, and on a biennial update basis. IC-3, Form MCS-150C, Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report is filed by IEPs that interchange intermodal equipment with a motor carrier or have contractual responsibility for the maintenance of the intermodal equipment. FMCSA uses the information to identify its regulated entities, to help prioritize the Agency’s enforcement activities, to aid in assessing the safety outcomes of those activities, and for statistical purposes. This information collection supports the agency’s strategic goal of safety by establishing and monitoring safe operating requirements for motor carriers, commercial motor vehicle drivers, vehicles, and vehicle equipment. |

Inquiry into Blocked Highway-Rail Grade Crossings throughout the United States
Key Information
Abstract
On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-58) “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)” was enacted. In addition to mandating that FRA establish an online portal and corresponding database to receive information regarding blocked highway-rail grade crossings, section 22404 of BIL “encourages each complainant to report the blocked crossing to the relevant railroad.” Therefore, in preparation for this new statutory mandate, FRA proposes to modify the existing web-based forms by adding one question, “have you contacted the railroad?” Otherwise, the rest of the questions on the web-based forms will remain the same. In 2020, FRA created a dedicated website allowing the public, law enforcement personnel, and first responders to use web-based forms to voluntarily submit information about blocked crossings to FRA. Under the currently approved information collection request, users provide information regarding the location, date, time, duration, and immediate impacts of highway-rail grade crossings blocked by slow-moving or stationary trains. FRA uses the data collected to gain a more complete picture of where, when, for how long, and what impacts result from reported blocked crossing incidents. This information is voluntary and open to the public. There is no requirement for recordkeeping. The frequency will be as needed as determined by the public. |

X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Community Response Survey Preparation
Key Information
Abstract
Supersonic passenger flight over land is currently restricted in the U.S. and many countries because sonic booms have been known to disturb people on the ground. There is a potential for a change in federal and international regulations if supersonic flight can occur at acceptably low noise levels. NASA is preparing a series of Community Response Surveys coupled with research flights to gather data on the public acceptability of low noise supersonic flight. Prior to the Community Response Surveys, NASA is conducting a check of the overall survey process without accompanying flights (X-59 Community Response Survey Preparation, this ICR). This is necessary to minimize the risk of problems or errors with the actual Community Response Surveys, which will involve coordinating efforts with preparing and scheduling flights of the X-59 aircraft. After the Community Response Survey Preparation, NASA plans to conduct up to five Community Response Surveys (CRSs) in different areas of the contiguous U.S. Each CRS will have a maximum of 113 responses (“activities”) per respondent, spread across a 30-day period. Some responses are collected up to six times per day, while other responses are collected once per day. To reflect the true experience of the intended future surveys, this test survey will ask respondents to follow the same schedule. |

Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers Regulations
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
49 USC 31502 (View Law) 49 USC 31136 (View Law) 49 USC 522 (View Law) 49 USC 521 (View Law) 49 USC 526 (View Law) Abstract
This ICR is a renewal for a mandatory collection for reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure. The Hours of Service (HOS) rules apply to both property and passenger motor carriers. The HOS rules set limits on the on-duty time and driving time of CMV drivers, and mandate the amount and frequency of the time off-duty that such drivers must receive. Two types of information are collected under this IC: (1) drivers’ daily record of duty status (RODS) (electronic records or, in some cases, paper logbooks), and (2) supporting documents, such as fuel and toll receipts, that may be used by motor carriers to verify the accuracy of the RODS and to document expense deductions taken in the determination of taxable income. The information is collected on an annual basis. The purpose of the collection of the RODS and supporting documents of the HOS rules is to provide the Agency with its most effective tool in combating driver fatigue. Enforcement officials at roadside employ the RODS and supporting documents to determine the amount of time a driver has spent off duty prior to the driver’s current duty day. They also determine the amount of time the driver has been on duty that duty day, and the amount of time the driver has been behind the wheel driving during the duty day. Enforcement officials examine the RODS for seven of the immediately preceding days to determine compliance with the HOS rules. The RODS are an invaluable tool used to detect inaccurate and falsified logs that facilitates removing fatigued, unsafe drivers off the road. Enforcement officials employ the RODS and supporting documents retained by the motor carrier when conducting on-site investigative reviews of motor carriers. The safety assessments that result from such reviews are public information, and many shippers routinely examine the assessments, as well as crash and regulatory compliance records, when selecting a motor carrier. The Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) requires States, as a condition of receiving grant funding, to adopt and enforce State CMV safety laws and regulations that are compatible with the FMCSRs and these include the HOS rules. States embrace the Federal enforcement scheme for regulating safety in the operation of CMVs, and work closely with Federal investigators in enforcing the HOS rules. Motor carriers also help FMCSA detect fatigued drivers. It is in their interest to be proactive in detecting inaccuracy or falsification of RODS by their CMV drivers to avoid the penalties resulting from such infractions. Replacing paper RODS with electronic RODS enhances the accuracy and minimizes the falsification of RODS. Motor carriers will continue to examine the supporting documents, such as fuel receipts, toll receipts, bills of lading, repair invoices, and compare them to the entries on the RODS. Comparing supporting documents to the RODS helps the motor carrier verify the accuracy of the HOS reported by their CMV drivers. Motor carrier use of the RODS and driver-supplied supporting documents enhances driver adherence to the HOS rules, keeps fatigued drivers off the road, and helps FMCSA protect the public. This ICR supports the Department of Transportation’s Strategic Goal of Safety because the information helps the Agency improve the safety of drivers operating CMVs on our Nation’s highways. |
