    Background: Title 49 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) authorizes 
the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to promulgate regulations 
governing the registration of for-hire motor carriers of regulated 
commodities (49 U.S.C. 13902), surface transportation freight 
forwarders (49 U.S.C. 13903), and property brokers (49 U.S.C. 13904).
    Under 49 U.S.C. 13905, each registration is effective from the date 
specified and remains in effect for such period as the Secretary 
determines appropriate by regulation. Section 13905(c) grants the 
Secretary the authority to amend or revoke a registration at the 
registrant's request. On complaint, or on the Secretary's own 
initiative, the Secretary may also suspend, amend, or revoke any part 
of the registration of a motor carrier, broker, or freight forwarder 
for willful failure to comply with the regulations, an order of the 
Secretary, or a condition of its registration.
    Form OCE-46 is used by transportation entities to voluntarily apply 
for revocation of their registration authority in whole or in part. 
FMCSA uses the form to seek information concerning the registrant's 
docket number, name and address, and the reasons for the revocation 
request. This ICR is being revised due to an increase in the estimated 
number of annual respondents from 3,250 to 3,700.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this revised information collection request, including: (1) The 
necessity and usefulness of the information collection for FMCSA to 
meet its goal in reducing truck crashes; (2) the accuracy of the 
estimated burdens; (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 collected 
information. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in 
the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
