This non-substantive change request is
to update the expiration date for the forms MCS-82, MCS-82B,
MCS-90, and MCS-90B. DOT promulgates regulations that establish
minimum levels of financial responsibility for motor carriers of
property to cover public liability, property damage, and
environmental restoration, and minimum levels of financial
responsibility for for-hire motor carriers of passengers to cover
public liability and property damage. It is mandated that motor
carriers maintain proof of the required financial responsibility at
their principal places of business, available upon request of an
FMCSA safety investigator during investigations or audits.
Insurance endorsements and surety bonds are considered public
information and must be produced by a motor carrier of property or
a motor carrier of passengers for review upon reasonable request by
a member of the public. Motor carriers domiciled in Canada, Mexico,
and non-North America (NNA) domiciled carriers who transport
property or conduct passenger transportation operations within the
United States must obtain an insurance endorsement or surety bond.
All vehicles operated in the United States by these motor carriers
must have a legible copy of the insurance endorsement or surety
bond in the vehicle available to Federal or State enforcement
officials during roadside inspections. FMCSA and the public use the
information collected to verify that a motor carrier of property or
passengers has obtained, and has in effect, the required minimum
levels of financial responsibility. This ICR has a program
adjustment of an increase in annual responses and burden hours due
to a 51 percent increase in the number of entities that registered
in 2020-2022. The information collections (ICs) are as follows:
IC1.1 - Property carriers to complete MCS-90 (insurance) IC1.2 -
Property carriers to complete MCS-82 (surety) IC2.1 - Passenger
carriers to complete MCS-90B (insurance) IC2.2 - Passenger carriers
