ICR. Two comments in support of the ICR were received by the agency.

DATES: Please send your comments by January 13, 2011. OMB must receive

System (FDMS) Docket Number FMCSA-2010-0341. Interested persons are 
invited to submit written comments on the proposed information 
collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office

Safety Administration, and sent via electronic mail to oira_

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Request for Revocation of Authority.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0018.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently-approved information 
collection.
    Form Number: OCE-46.
    Respondents: Motor carriers, freight forwarders and property 
brokers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,700.
    Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
    Expiration Date: February 28, 2011.
    Form: OCE-46.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 925 hours [3,700 annual Form OCE-46 
filers x 15 minutes/60 minutes per filing = 925].
    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).
    Under 49 U.S.C. 13905(c), each registration is effective from the 
date specified. Section 13905(d) 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. This ICR is being revised due to an increase in the estimated 
number of annual respondents from 3,250 to 3,700 along with a new 
notarization fee.
    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 FMCSA to 
meet its goal in reducing truck crashes; (2) the accuracy of the 
estimated burdens; (3) ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and 
clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways to minimize the 
collection burden without reducing the quality of the collected 
information. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in 
the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
