SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

will enable FMCSA to document the 

burden associated with the for-hire 

truck leasing regulations codified in 49 

CFR part 376, ‘‘Lease and Interchange of 

Vehicles’’ and passenger carrier 

regulations codified at 49 CFR part 390, 

subpart F, ‘‘Lease and Interchange of 

Passenger-Carrying Commercial Motor 

Vehicles.’’ These regulations require 

certain motor carriers to have a formal 

lease when leasing equipment. The 

FMCSA requests approval to renew an 

ICR titled, ‘‘Lease and Interchange of 

Vehicles.’’ 

Title: Lease and Interchange of 

Vehicles. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0056. 

Type of Request: Renewal of 

information collection. 

Respondents: Motor carriers 

authorized by the Secretary to transport 

property and passengers that use leased 

equipment. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

5,213,193 [18,820 lessees (IC–1) + 

18,820 lessors (IC–1) + 5,175,552 carrier 

representatives (IC–2). 

Estimated Time per Response: Varies 

from 5 to 30 minutes. 

Expiration Date: August 31, 2018. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

1,136,114 hours [18,820 master lease 

(ICR Component 1 (IC–1)) + 62,236 

standard statement (IC–1) + 13,478 

master lease (ICR Component 2 (IC–2)) 

+ 862,592 negotiation (IC–2) + 143,190 

documentation (IC–2) + 0 (negligible) 

copying (IC–2) + 35,798 charter group 

notification (IC–2)]. 

Background: The Secretary of 

Transportation (Secretary) is authorized 

to require a motor carrier that uses 

commercial motor vehicles not owned 

by it to transport property under an 

arrangement with another party to make 

the arrangement in writing. This written 

lease agreement must specify its 

duration, the compensation to be paid 

by the motor carrier providing 

transportation subject to jurisdiction 

under 49 U.S.C. 14102(a), ‘‘Leased 

Motor Vehicles’’ and signed by the 

parties. The Secretary has delegated 

authority pertaining to leased motor 

vehicles to FMCSA pursuant to 49 CFR 

1.87(a)(6). The Agency’s regulations 

governing leased motor vehicles are at 

49 CFR part 376. 

The rules were adopted to ensure that 

small trucking companies were 

protected when they agreed to lease 

their equipment and drivers to larger 

for-hire carriers. They also ensure that 

the government and members of the 

public can determine who is responsible 

for a property-carrying commercial 

motor vehicle. Prior to the regulations, 

some equipment was leased without 

written agreements, leading to disputes 

over which party to the lease was 

responsible for charges and actions and, 

at times, who was legally responsible for 

the vehicle. Under 49 U.S.C. 14102(a), 

FMCSA ‘‘may require a motor carrier 

providing for-hire transportation that 

uses motor vehicles not owned by it to
