Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
ICR Definition
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, modify, or discontinue 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.

Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes49 USC 14123 (View Law) Pub.L. 104 - 88 109 Stat. 803, 852 (View Law) AbstractThe purpose of this request is to renew the currently OMB approved ICR. Form M is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of property and household goods. All for-hire (common and contract) motor carriers of property with gross annual operating revenue of $3 million or more must file the annual report Form M. Form MP-1 is required 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 the annual report Form MP-1. FMCSA has created electronic forms that may be prepared, signed electronically, and submitted to FMCSA via https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/. However, forms can still be mailed to FMCSA. The data collected is available to users in its original form. The data are not used by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and, based on a comment to a proposed rule finalized on December 17, 2013 (78 FR 76241), the data are no longer used by trucking associations. The agency is also considering how it might remove some of this reporting requirement, consistent with statue, through a separate rulemaking, but the agency needs to renew the Collection of Information now while that process plays out. 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. In the past, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) used the data to inform the national annual input-output and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates, to prepare estimates of industry output, and to provide details on inputs to supplement the information on motor carriers of passengers collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. FMCSA is not aware of anyone currently using this information. FMCSA does not use the information collected through either Form M or Form MP-1, nor does it enforce the filing requirements found in part 369. The Agency was not provided the necessary resources to administer the data collection and the financial reports are of little if any value in fulfilling the Agency’s safety mission. FMCSA estimates that the annual burden hour for this information collection has decreased by approximately 78 hours due to decreased Form M and Form MP-1 submissions received by the Agency between 2018 and 2020. |

Authorizing Statutes49 USC 13903 (View Law) 49 USC 13904 (View Law) Pub.L. 112 - 114 126 Stat. 405 (View Law) 49 USC 13902 (View Law) Pub.L. 104 - 88 109 Stat. 803 (View Law) AbstractFMCSA registers for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities and of passengers, surface freight forwarders, property brokers, and certain Mexico-domiciled motor carriers, as mandatory reporting. These motor carriers may conduct transportation services in the United States only if they are registered with FMCSA. FMCSA is still accepting forms OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA) for existing registrants wishing to apply for additional authorities. FMCSA requires Form OP-1(MX) for Mexico-domiciled carriers that wish to operate beyond the U.S. municipalities on the U.S.-Mexico border and their commercial zones. Information collected through these forms, as an ICR extension, aids FMCSA in determining the type of operation a company may run, the cargo it may carry, and the resulting level of insurance coverage the applicant will be required to obtain and maintain to continue its operating authority. The OP-1 series requests information on the applicant’s familiarity with relevant safety requirements, the applicant’s willingness to comply with those requirements during its operations, and the applicant’s willingness to meet any specific statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to its proposed operations. FMCSA also uses information from these forms to prepare (for each applicant) a public notice of the registration application, which is published in the “FMCSA Register.” Publication of this notice initiates a 10-day period during which an interested party may file a complaint seeking denial of the registration on a limited number of statutory grounds. Effective December 12, 2015, OP-1 series forms, with the exception of OP-1(MX), can only be used to apply for additional authorities, not for initial registration with FMCSA. These forms request information to identify the applicant, the nature and scope of its proposed operations, a narrative description of the applicant’s safety policies and procedures, and information regarding the drivers and vehicles it plans to use in U.S. operations. There is no requirement for the OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA) forms be filed on a periodic basis. The forms are filed on an “as needed” basis. Since the rollout of URS Phase I, the sole purpose of these forms is to allow existing registrants to apply for additional authorities. A new OP-1(MX) application form is currently required only if a Mexico-domiciled carrier wishes to extend the scope of its authority or is applying for new authority. |
