SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Request for Revocation of Authority 
Granted.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0018.
    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.
    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(c) grants the 
Secretary the authority to amend or revoke a registration at the 
registrant's request. On 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. The 
form is used by the FMCSA to seek information on 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: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 250 hours (1,000 motor carriers x 15 
minutes/60 minutes).

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 13902, 13903, 13904 and 13905; and 49 CFR 
1.73.

    Issued on: March 10, 2004.

Administrator.
