SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Annual Report of 

Class I and Class II Motor Carriers of 

Property (Form M) and the Quarterly 

Report of Class I Motor Carriers of 

Property (Form QFR) are mandated 

reporting requirements for all for-hire 

motor carriers. See 49 U.S.C. 14123; and 

implementing FMCSA regulations at 49 

CFR part 369. The Secretary of 

Transportation (Secretary) has exercised 

his discretion under section 14123 to 

also require Class I property carriers 

(including dual-property carriers), Class 

I household goods carriers and Class I 

passenger carriers to file quarterly 

reports. Motor carriers (including 

interstate and intrastate) subject to the 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations are classified on the basis of 

their gross carrier operating revenues.1

Under the F&OS program, FMCSA 

collects from Class I and Class II 

property carriers balance sheet and 

income statement data along with 

information on safety needs, tonnage, 

mileage, employees, transportation 

equipment, and other related data. 

FMCSA may also ask carriers to respond 

to surveys concerning their operations. 

The data and information collected 

would be made publicly available and 

used by FMCSA to determine a motor 

carrier’s compliance with the F&OS 

program requirements prescribed at 

chapter III of title of 49 CFR part 369. 

The regulations were formerly 

administered by the Interstate 

Commerce Commission and later 

transferred to the Secretary on January 

1, 1996, by section 103 of the ICC 

Termination Act of 1995 (Pub. L.104– 

88, 109 Stat. 803 (Dec. 29, 1995)), now 

codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123. 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 part of the 

Research and Innovative Technology 

Administration (RITA), to former 

chapter XI, subchapter B 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

16038 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 8, 2009 / Notices 

aligned with FMCSA’s mission and its 

other motor carrier responsibilities (69 

FR 51009). On August 10, 2006, the 

Secretary published a final rule (71 FR 

45740) that transferred and redesignated 

certain motor carrier financial and 

statistical reporting regulations of BTS, 

that were formerly located at chapter XI, 

subchapter B of title 49 CFR part 1420, 

to FMCSA under chapter III of title 49 

CFR part 369.
