This affects nearly a million motor carriers and equipment providers who must keep their markings up to date, helping keep roads safe. Comments are open until July 1, 2026, and the paperwork takes about 26 minutes per vehicle, so plan ahead! ## 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. The ICR will enable FMCSA to continue documenting the burden associated with the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) marking regulations. These regulations require marking of self-propelled CMVs and intermodal equipment by motor carriers, freight forwarders, and intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) engaging in interstate transportation and motor carriers that transport hazardous materials in intrastate transportation subject to the Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP) rules. Two comments were received in response to the 60- day Federal Register publication. ## Effects PRIA read - Nearly 939K Entities Must Keep Markings: cost, high. FMCSA renewed its information collection for commercial motor vehicle marking requirements that apply to 938,861 respondents in total (900,043 freight-carrying carriers; 20,878 intrastate hazardous-material carriers; 16,409 passenger carriers; and 1,531 intermodal equipment providers). You (as a ca… - Freight Carriers' Marking Burden: cost, high. If you are a freight-carrying motor carrier, FMCSA estimates 900,043 such respondents who spend a combined 3,228,623 hours annually marking vehicles. The ICR estimates about 26 minutes per marking response (12 minutes to affix USDOT number + 14 minutes to affix carrier name). - Intermodal Equipment Providers' Large Hour Burden: cost, high. Intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) are 1,531 respondents but are estimated to spend 1,174,966 hours annually marking equipment under this ICR. The per-response estimate is 26 minutes (12 minutes for USDOT number + 14 minutes for carrier name). - Passenger Carriers' Marking Time: cost, medium. Passenger-carrying commercial motor carriers (16,409 respondents) are estimated to spend a combined 58,375 hours annually complying with marking requirements, at about 26 minutes per marking response (12 minutes for USDOT number + 14 minutes for carrier name). - Intrastate Hazardous-Materials Carriers Affected: cost, medium. Motor carriers that transport hazardous materials in intrastate commerce subject to the Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP) rules are included (20,878 respondents) and are estimated to spend 225,725 hours annually marking vehicles, at about 26 minutes per marking response. - Flexibility in How You Mark Vehicles: benefit, low. FMCSA's ICR notes the Agency does not require a specific method of marking as long as the marking complies with FMCSA regulations. You can choose any compliant marking method rather than a single prescribed technique. - Markings Help Public Safety and Identification: benefit, low. FMCSA states the marking requirements are intended to help FMCSA, the National Transportation Safety Board, and State safety officials identify carriers, assign responsibility during inspections and crash studies, and provide the public with information for complaints or emergency notification. ## Related documents - [2026-08144](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-08144): Administrative Rulemaking, Guidance, and Enforcement Procedures, 2026-04-27 - [2026-20734](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20734): Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Application for Exemption From Aurora Operations, Inc (USDOT #341156), 2026-10-09 - [2026-20649](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20649): Qualification of Drivers; Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance; Application for Exemption, 2026-10-08 - [2026-20524](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20524): Agency Information Collection Activities; New Information Collection: Hours of Service of Drivers; Pilot Program To Allow Commercial Driver…, 2026-10-07 - [2026-20476](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20476): Agency Information Collection Activities; New Information Collection: Hours of Service of Drivers: Pilot Program To Allow Commercial Driver…, 2026-10-06 - [2026-20325](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20325): Clarification to the Applicability of Emergency Exemptions; Response to Petitions for Reconsideration, 2026-10-05 ## Sources - [2026-10892 on federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/06/01/2026-10892/agency-information-collection-activities-approval-of-a-new-information-collection-request-commercial) - [2026-10892 as published (PDF)](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-06-01/pdf/2026-10892.pdf) ## Related - [Previous: 2026-10886, Agency Information Collection Activities: .gov Registrar](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-10886) - [Next: 2026-10893, Agency Information Collection Activities: State and Local Cybersecurity Grant P…](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-10893) - [All Federal Register documents](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-10892 (as of 2026-06-08).
