    Title: Freight Carrier Qualification Statement/Required Documents, 
OMB Number 0702-0088, MT Form 377-R, MT Form 380-R, MT Form 381-R
    Needs and Uses: Information is vital in determining capability to 
perform quality service transporting DoD freight. Carriers will furnish 
MTMC information to determine if individuals or associated companies 
are affiliated with government-debarred carriers and will also reflect 
carrier's financial stability.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 8,500.
    Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Respondes Per Respondent: 1,000.
    Average Burden Per Response: 8.5 hours.
    Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Carrier Qualification Program (CQP) is 
designed to protect the interest of the Government and to ensure that 
the Department of Defense (DOD) deals with responsible carriers having 
the capability to provide quality and dependable service. This program 
became necessary because deregulation of the motor carrier industry 
brought an influx of new carriers into DOD's transportation market, 
many of which are unreliable or do not have capability to provide 
consistent dependable transportation services.
