SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),

covers a voluntary request by a motor carrier, freight forwarder, or 
property broker to amend or revoke its FMCSA registration of authority

comments by this date in order to act on the ICR.

of the Desk Officer, Department of Transportation/Federal Motor Carrier 
Safety Administration, and sent via electronic mail to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to the

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). 
The FMCSA carries out this registration program under authority 
delegated by the Secretary (49 CFR 1.87). 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(d) of title 49, U.S.C., grants the Secretary the 
authority to amend or revoke a registration at the registrant's 
request. Based on a 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.
    Comments from the Public: The FMCSA received no comment in response 
to the 60-day comment request Federal Register notice published on 
December 26, 2013 for this ICR (78 FR 78469).
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed 
collection is necessary for the FMCSA to perform its functions; (2) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the 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.

    Issued under the authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.87 on: April 9, 
2014.
G. Kelly Leone,
Associate Administrator, Office of Research and Information Technology 
and Chief Information Officer.
