SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the FHWA has taken 

final agency action subject to 23 U.S.C. 

139 (l)(1) by issuing a decision for the 

following highway project in the State 

of North Carolina: U.S. 64 

Improvements, Federal Aid No. NHF–

64(19), Randolph County, North 

Carolina. This project identified a need 

to address capacity constraints and 

safety considerations on the current U.S. 

64 in Asheboro, North Carolina. The 

proposed action will improve 14 miles 

of U.S. Highway 64 from just east of SR 

1424 (Stutts Road) to 0.6 miles east of 

SR 2345 (Presnell Street). The selected 

alternative (Alternative 29) constructs a 

four-lane, median divided facility with 

full access control on new location as 

well as a two-lane parkway facility 

known as the Zoo Connector. The 

actions by the Federal agencies, and the 

laws under which such actions were 

taken, are described in the Abbreviated 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) for the project, approved on May 

12, 2007, in the FHWA Record of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Secretary of 

Transportation (Secretary) is authorized 

to register for-hire motor carriers of 

regulated commodities under the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13902; freight 

forwarders under the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 13903; and property brokers 

under 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 registration 

requirements to the FMCSA. 

Registered motor carriers (including 

private carriers) 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 and traverse in the United 

States during such operations, agents on 

whom process issued by a court may be 

served in actions brought against the 

registered transportation entity (49 

U.S.C. 13304). Every broker shall make 

a designation for each State in which its 

offices are located or in which contracts 

are written. Regulations governing the 

designation of process agents are found 

at 49 CFR part 366. This designation is 

filed with the FMCSA on Form BOC–3, 

‘‘Designation of Agent for Service of 

Process.’’

Title: Designation of Agents, Motor 

Carriers, Brokers and Freight 

Forwarders. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0015. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Motor carriers, freight 

forwarders and brokers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

89,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Expiration Date: April 30, 2008. 

Frequency of Response: Form BOC–3 

must be filed by all for-hire motor 

carriers and freight forwarders when the 

transportation entity first registers with 

the FMCSA. All brokers shall file Form 

BOC–3 as necessary and make a 

designation for each State in which it 

has an office or in which contracts are 

written. Subsequent filings are made 

only if the motor carrier, broker or 

freight forwarder changes process 

agents. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

14,833 hours [89,000 Form BOC–3 

filings per year × 10 minutes/60 minutes 

to complete form = 14,833 hours]. 

Public Comments Invited: We invite 

you to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including, but 

not limited to: (1) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the FMCSA, including 

whether the information is practical and 

useful; (2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways to minimize 

the collection burden without reducing 

the quality of the information collected. 

The agency will summarize or include 

your comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection.
