1For purposes of the Financial & Operating 

Statistics (F&OS) program, passenger carriers are 

classified into the following two groups; (1) Class 

I carriers are those having average annual gross 

transportation operating revenues (including 

interstate and intrastate) of $5 million or more from 

passenger motor carrier operations after applying 

the revenue deflator formula as shown in the Note 

at 49 CFR 369.3; and (2) Class II passenger carriers 

are those having average annual gross 

transportation operating revenues (including 

interstate and intrastate) of less than $5 million 

from passenger motor carrier operations after 

applying the revenue deflator formula as shown in 

the Note at 49 CFR 369.3. Only Class I carriers of 

passengers are required to file the Annual and 

Quarterly Report Form MP–1. Class II passenger 

carriers, however, must notify the agency when 

there is a change in their classification or their 

revenues exceed the Class II limit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: For-hire Class I motor 

carriers of passengers (including 

interstate and intrastate) 1 are required 

to file Motor Carrier Annual and 

Quarterly Reports (Form MP–1) that 

provide financial and operating data 

(see 49 U.S.C. 14123; and implementing 

FMCSA regulations at 49 CFR part 369). 

The agency uses this information to 

assess the health of the industry and 

identify industry changes that may 

affect national transportation policy. 

The data also show company financial 

stability and traffic patterns. Motor 

carriers of passengers required to 

comply with the regulations are 

classified on the basis of their annual 

gross carrier operating revenues. Under 

the F&OS program the FMCSA collects 

balance sheet and income statement 

data along with information on tonnage, 

mileage, employees, transportation 

equipment, and other related data. 

The data and information collected is 

made publicly available as prescribed in 

49 CFR part 369. Class I and Class II 

motor carriers are required by 49 U.S.C. 

14123 to file annual and quarterly 

financial reports with the Secretary. The 

Secretary has exercised his discretion 

under section 14123 to also require 

Class I property carriers (including dualproperty carriers), Class I household 

goods carriers and Class I passengers 

carriers to file quarterly reports. 

Over the years, the regulations were 

formerly administered by the Interstate 

Commerce Commission (ICC), but the 

ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA) 

(Pub. L. 104–88, 109 Stat. 803 (Dec. 29, 

1995); now codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123) 

abolished the ICC and transferred the 

responsibility for collecting and 

disseminating motor carrier financial 

information to the Secretary of 

Transportation (Secretary). On 

September 30, 1998, the Secretary 

delegated and transferred the authority 

to administer the F&OS program to the 

former Bureau of Transportation 

Statistics (BTS), now a part of the 

Research and Innovative Technology 

Administration (RITA), to former 

Chapter XI, subchapter 13 of 49 CFR 

part 1420 (63 FR 52192). 

On September 29, 2004, the Secretary 

transferred the responsibility for the 

F&OS program from BTS to FMCSA in 

the belief that the program was more 

aligned with FMCSA’s safety mission 

and its other motor carrier 

responsibilities (69 FR 51009). On 

August 10, 2006 (71 FR 45740), the 

Secretary published a final rule that 

transferred and redesignated the motor 

carrier financial and statistical reporting 

regulations of BTS that were formerly 

located at chapter XI of title 49 CFR to 

FMCSA in 49 chapter III of title 49 CFR 

part 369. 

Title: Annual and Quarterly Report of 

Class I Motor Carriers of Passengers 

(formerly OMB Control Number 2139– 

0003). 

New OMB Control Number: 2126– 

0031. 

Type of Request: Revision and 

renewal of a currently-approved 

information collection request. 

Respondents: Class I Motor Carriers of 

Passengers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 6. 

Estimated Time per Response: 18 

minutes per response. 

Expiration Date: September 30, 2009. 

Frequency of Response: Annually and 

quarterly. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 9 

hours [30 responses × 18 minutes per 

response/60 minutes = 9]. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for FMCSA to perform its 

mission; (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. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection.
