SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For FMCSA's notice published on August 16, 
2017, (82 FR 38989), the following corrections are made:
    In column three of page 38988, in the Summary paragraph, the last 
sentence should read ``The reinstatement of this ICR is necessary to 
support FMCSA's responsibility to ensure consumer protection in the 
transportation of household goods (HHG).''
    In column one of page 38989, add the following sentence to be the 
first sentence in the BACKGROUND section: ``The reinstatement of this 
ICR is necessary to support the requirements of subpart B of 49 CFR 
part 371 and FMCSA's responsibility to ensure consumer protection in 
the transportation of household goods (HHG).''
    In column two of page 38989, the paragraph that begins ``With this 
renewal'' should read: With this renewal, FMCSA makes a change to the 
annual burden hours associated with this ICR. There is a reduction of 
19,522 annual burden hours due to the removal of 1,000 burden-hours 
associated with new entrant household goods brokers setting up a 
separate accounting system to comply with 49 CFR 371.13. FMCSA no 
longer believes the inclusion of such burden hours is necessary as such 
usual and customary actions to comply with regulatory requirements do 
not need to be included in burden calculations. Further, the number of 
burden hours is reduced due to a reduced estimate of the number of HHG 
brokers that are impacted by this information collection.
