FMCSA Renews Financial Reporting for Small Motor Carriers

## Summary

The FMCSA is renewing its yearly info collection from Class I and II for-hire motor carriers who move goods and passengers. This means about 12 carriers will keep sharing data on their finances, operations, and equipment, spending around 9 hours each year. Comments on this plan are open until December 18, 2025, with no new costs or big changes expected.

## Abstract

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR) described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. FMCSA requests approval to renew an ICR titled, "Annual Report of Class I and Class II For-Hire Motor Carriers," OMB Control No. 2126-0032. This ICR applies to Class I and Class II for-hire motor carriers of property (Form M) and Class I for-hire motor carriers of passengers (Form MP-1) and collects financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of property and household goods and from individual motor carriers of passengers. This ICR is necessary to comply with FMCSA's financial and operating statistics requirements at chapter III of title 49 CFR part 369 titled, "Reports of Motor Carriers."
