SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Request for Revocation of Authority Granted.
    OMB Approval Number: 2126-0018.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently-approved information 
collection. This IC is being revised due to an increase in the number 
of Form OCE-46s filings from 1,000 to 3,250 per year.
    Form Number: OCE-46.
    Respondents: Motor carriers, freight forwarders and property 
brokers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,250.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Expiration Date: June 30, 2007.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 813 hours [3,250 annual Form OCE-46 
filers x 15 minutes/60 minutes per filing = 812.5 hours, rounded to 813 
hours].
    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) 
of title 49, U.S.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. 
FMCSA

uses the form to seek information concerning the registrant's docket 
number, name and address, and the reasons for the revocation request.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this revised information collection request, including: (1) The 
necessity and usefulness of the information collection for the FMCSA to 
meet its goal in reducing truck crashes; (2) the accuracy of the

the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.

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