forwarders under 49 U.S.C. 13903, and for property brokers under 49 
U.S.C. 13904. The Secretary has adopted regulations to implement these 
registration procedures. Under Title 49 U.S.C. 13905, each registration 
is effective from the date specified and remains in effect for such 
period as the Secretary of Transportation determines appropriate by 
regulation. Subsection (c) of 49 U.S.C. 13905 provides that, on 
application of the registrant, the Secretary may amend or revoke a 
registration. Authority pertaining to these registrations has been 
delegated to the FHWA.
    Form OCE-46 allows transportation entities to apply voluntarily for 
revocation of their registration in whole or in part. The form asks for 
the registrant's docket number, name and address, and the reasons for 
the revocation request.
    Respondents: Motor Carriers, Freight Forwarders, and Brokers.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 400 hours.
    Frequency: This is a one-time reporting requirement. Interested 
parties are invited to send comments regarding any aspect of this 
information collection, including, but not limited to: (1) The 
necessity and utility of the information collection for the proper 
performance of the functions of the FHWA: (2) the accuracy of the 
estimated burden: (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the collected information: and (4) ways to minimize the collection 
burden without reducing the quality of the collected information. 
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or 
included in the request for OMB reinstatement of this information 
collection.

    Authority: 23 U.S.C 315 and 49 CFR 1.48.
