SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

As a result of Title IV, Subtitle B of 

the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 

Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A 

Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. 

L. 109–59) and a petition for rulemaking 

from the American Moving and Storage 

Association,1 FMCSA amended thenexisting regulations for brokers in a final 

rule titled, ‘‘Brokers of Household 

Goods Transportation by Motor 

Vehicles,’’ (75 FR 72987, Nov. 29, 2010). 

The 2010 rule revised 49 CFR part 371 

by providing additional consumer 

protection responsibilities for brokers of 

Household Goods (HHG). 

Section 4212 of SAFETEA–LU directs 

the Secretary to require HHG brokers to 

provide potential shippers with 

information throughout the various 

stages of their interaction. The below 

summarizes the information collection 

required of the HHG broker at the 

various interaction stages between the 

HHG broker and shippers as laid out by 

49 CFR part 371, subpart B. 

I. First Phase: ‘‘Prospecting’’ 

When HHG shippers are looking to 

procure HHG brokers’ services, brokers 

must collect the following information 

and display it on their websites and 

solicitation materials: 

• Their physical address (49 CFR 

371.107(a)); 

• Their U.S. DOT number(s) and MC 

number (49 CFR 371.107(b)); 

• A statement indicating that they 

will not transport the shipper’s goods 

but will only arrange for goods to be 

transported by a registered motor carrier 

(49 CFR 371.107(c)); 

• If brokers choose to publish rates on 

their websites or solicitation materials, 

the broker must also publish a statement 

that the rates are based on a motor 

carrier’s publicly available rates (49 CFR 

371.107(d)); 

• If brokers choose to publish a list of 

motor carriers with whom they work, 

the list must only be a list of motor 

carriers with whom brokers have 

agreements (49 CFR 371.107(e)); and 

• Brokers must publish information 

regarding their cancellation policies, 

including information on deposits and 

refunds (49 CFR 371.117(a)). 

II. Second Phase: ‘‘Contact’’ 

When HHG shippers make reasonable 

requests seeking additional information 

7778 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 19 / Monday, February 1, 2021 / Notices 

2FMCSA derived the annual hourly burden by 

applying the following formula: Time spent on 

shipper transaction record keeping per day × 

number of work days × the number of brokers. The 

calculation was 15 minutes per day × 240 workdays 

× 543 brokers, which resulted in an annual burden 

of 32,580 hours. 

about broker services, the HHG brokers 

must collect the following information 

and distribute it to HHG shippers: 

1. A list of motor carriers with whom 

it has agreements (49 CFR 371.109(a)); 

and 

2. A statement indicating the broker is 

not a motor carrier and that the broker 

is only arranging transportation of the 

shipper’s goods (49 CFR 371.109(b)). 

III. Third Phase: ‘‘Estimate’’ 

When HHG shippers request 

estimates, the HHG brokers must collect 

the following information and distribute 

it to HHG shippers and/or store the 

information received: 

1. FMCSA’s published information 

materials: (1) ‘‘Ready to Move?—Tips 

for a Successful Interstate Move’’ and (2) 

‘‘Your Rights and Responsibilities When 

you Move’’ (49 CFR 371.111(a)(1),(a)(2), 

& (a)(3)); 

2. A document signed by the shipper, 

showing he/she received FMCSA’s 

published information material (49 CFR 

371.111(c)); 

3. A written estimate based on the 

motor carrier’s physical survey of 

household items (49 CFR 371.113(a)), 

with estimates based on published 

motor carrier rates (49 CFR 371.113(b)); 

4. If applicable, the shipper must sign 

a ‘‘Waiver’’ receipt, showing he/she has 

waived his/her right to a physical 

survey of his/her household items by 

the motor carrier. The HHG broker must 

collect the ‘‘Waiver’’ receipt and store 

the record (49 CFR 371.113(b)). 

IV. Fourth Phase: ‘‘Agreement’’ 

Should the shipper find the shipping 

estimate and broker services reasonable 

and wish to contract the broker’s 

services, the two parties must enter into 

an agreement. At this point, it is 

standard practice for shippers to pay 

either a deposit or make full payment. 

However, before collecting any 

payment, the broker must collect the 

following information and distribute it 

to the HHG shipper: 

• An agreement document with 

required specifications as laid out by 49 

CFR 371.115; and 

• An agreement document which 

highlights the broker’s and/or motor 

carrier’s refund policy for cancellation 

of agreements (49 CFR 371.117(a)). 

The information provided in phases I, 

II, III, and IV supports the requirements 

of 49 CFR part 371, subpart B, and the 

Department’s secondary mission to 

support HHG consumer protection. 

The complete collection of 

information required by the referenced 

final rule assists HHG shippers in their 

business dealings with interstate HHG 

brokers. The information collected is 

used by prospective HHG shippers to 

make informed decisions about 

contracts, services ordered, executed, 

and settled. The HHG broker is often the 

earliest contact for individual HHG 

shippers in an interstate moving 

transaction; therefore, it makes sense for 

HHG brokers to provide HHG shippers 

with consumer protection information. 

FMCSA revises the total annual 

burden to 72,808 hours. This is a 2,723 

annual burden hour increase from the 

currently approved 70,085 annual 

burden estimate. This increase is due to 

the following: (1) The previous iteration 

did not account for the time brokers use 

to complete a ‘‘waiver’’ should shippers 

choose to waive their rights to a 

physical survey, if applicable to a 

shipper, as required by 49 CFR 

371.113(c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3); (2) the 

previous iteration did not clarify a 

reproducible frequency formula used to 

calculate the number of times brokers 

collect information and submit 

information to shippers. To produce a 

reproducible frequency formula, the 

updated information collection 

introduced the concept of ‘‘phases,’’ 

which created a frequency number 

based on business interactions between 

brokers and shippers as explained 

above; and (3) FMCSA’s records 

indicate the number of household goods 

brokers increased from 543 brokers to 

652 brokers. 

In addition to the above, an 

adjustment was made to this ICR 

revision from the previous ICR renewal 

with regards to the annual hourly 

burden estimate for broker ‘‘transaction 

records’’(49 CFR 371.3). The annual 

hourly burden was removed from this 

ICR revision because the burden is for 

the collection of information that the 

broker would ordinarily record for other 

standard business practices such as tax 

purposes. As a result, the associated 

annual hourly burden estimate is 

removed. The previous ICR accounted 

32,580 annual burden hours 2 for 

‘‘transaction records,’’ while this ICR 

revises the annual burden to 0 hours.

Public Comments Invited: You are

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is

functions; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (3) ways for the

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without 

reducing the quality of the collected
