Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 163 / Thursday, August 24, 2023 / Notices 58063 

Qualification Requirements ICR, OMB Control 

Number 2126–0006, which is currently due to 

expire on March 31, 2025. 

One comment was received from the 

American College of Occupational and 

Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) in 

strong support of the IC. ACOEM stated 

there is no standardized resource 

currently available that provides MEs 

with a reasonable example of 

appropriate information to consider 

when evaluating the medical 

qualification of a driver with noninsulin-treated diabetes mellitus. The 

ME would be able to use the 

information provided to evaluate 

whether the individual’s diabetes 

mellitus is stable and controlled and to 

make an informed and sound physical 

qualification determination for the 

driver. ACOEM also stated that the 

burden associated with the form would 

be reduced if a fillable form is available. 

FMCSA notes that a fillable form that 

can be downloaded will be available on 

FMCSA’s website. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

IC, including: (1) whether the proposed 

collection is necessary for FMCSA to 

perform its 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Request for Revocation of 

Authority Granted. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0018. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a 

currently-approved ICR. 

Respondents: For-hire motor carriers, 

freight forwarders, and property brokers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

8,699. 

Estimated Time per Response: 15 

minutes (0.25 hours). 

Expiration Date: September 30, 2023. 

Frequency of Response: Other (As 

needed). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,175. 

Background 

FMCSA registers for-hire motor 

carriers of regulated commodities under 

49 U.S.C. 13902, surface freight 

forwarders under 49 U.S.C. 13903, and 

property brokers under 49 U.S.C. 13904. 

Each registration is effective from the 

date specified under 49 U.S.C. 13905 

(c). Subsection (d) of 49 U.S.C. 13905 

also provides that on application of the 

registrant, the Secretary may amend or 

revoke a registration, and hence the 

registrant’s operating authority. Form 

OCE–46 allows these registrants to 

apply voluntarily for revocation of their 

operating authority or parts thereof. If 

the registrant fails to maintain evidence 

of the required level of insurance 

coverage on file with FMCSA, its 

operating authority will be revoked 

involuntarily. Although the effect of 

both types of revocation is the same, 

some registrants prefer to request 

voluntary revocation. For various 

business reasons, a registrant may 

request revocation of some part, but not 

all, of its operating authority. This 

information collection, which supports 

the DOT Strategic Goal of Safety, is 

being revised to reflect modified 

estimates of burden hours and costs. For 

respondents, the program adjustment 

has resulted in increased total burden 

hours and an increase in respondent 

costs. The burden hour increase is due 

to an estimated increase in the number 

of annual filings of Form OCE–46 from 

5,901 to 8,699 per year, resulting in an 

increase of 2,798 responses and 700 

burden hours. The estimated annual 

labor cost for industry resulting from 

submitting Form OCE–46 is $67,287, an 

increase of $17,760. The total annual 

respondent cost has increased by 

$7,992. This increase is due to the 

increase in the number of respondents 

filing paper forms. While the online 

submission option exists, FMCSA still 

estimates that approximately 2,310 

respondents will continue to file the 

form by mail, which incurs notarization 

and postage fees. For the Federal 

Government, the program costs have 

increased by $19,707 due to the increase 

in the number of forms received by 

FMCSA. 

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.
