SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Designation of Agents, Motor

Carriers, and Brokers.

OMB Number: 2125–0567.

Background

The Secretary of Transportation is

authorized to register for-hire motor

carriers of regulated commodities under

the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13902,

surface freight forwarders under the

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13903, and

property brokers under the provisions of

49 U.S.C. 13904. These persons may

conduct transportation services only if

they are registered pursuant to 49 U.S.C.

13901. The Secretary has delegated

authority pertaining to these

registrations to the FHWA. Registered

motor carriers, brokers, and freight

forwarders must designate (1) an agent

on whom service of notices in

proceedings before the Secretary may be

made (49 U.S.C. 13303); and (2) for

every state in which they operate, agents

on whom process issued by a court may

be served in actions brought against the

registered transportation entity (49

U.S.C. 13304). Regulations governing

the designation of process agents are

found at 49 CFR part 366. This

designation is filed with the FHWA on

Form BOC–3.

Respondents: Motor carriers, freight

forwarders, and brokers.

Estimated Average Burden per

Response: The estimated average burden

per response for Form BOC–3 is 10

minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The

estimated total annual burden is 3,500

hours for Form BOC–3 based on 21,000

filings per year.

Frequency: Form BOC–3 must be filed

when the transportation entity first

registers with the FHWA. Subsequent

filings are made only if the motor

carrier, broker, or freight forwarder

changes process agents.

Public Comments Invited

Interested parties are invited to send

comments regarding any aspect of this

information collection, including but

not limited to: (1) The necessity and

utility of the information collection for

the proper performance of the functions

of the FHWA; (2) the accuracy of the

estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

collected information; and (4) ways to

minimize the collection burden without

reducing the quality of the collected

information. Comments submitted in

response to this notice will be

summarized and/or included in the

request OMB’S clearance for a renewal

of this information collection.
