FMCSA Seeks to Keep Form OCE-46 Exit Paperwork Option Alive
Regulation · Oct 22 · By Truker
FMCSA is preparing to ask the White House budget office's OMB for continued sign-off on the paperwork that lets for-hire carriers and intermediaries voluntarily give up their operating permissions. The collection, tracked under OMB Control No. 2126-0018, centers on Form OCE-46. The agency is moving forward under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The points
- 1FMCSA plans to forward a renewal request for an existing information collection to OMB for review and approval.
- 2The collection is tracked under OMB Control No. 2126-0018 and covers voluntary surrender of operating authority.
- 3Companies such as motor carriers, freight forwarders, and property brokers can use Form OCE-46 to ask for this.
- 4A registrant may seek to drop its entire authority or only a portion of it.
- 5The action is a renewal of a previously approved collection, conducted under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Why it matters
Approval of the renewal would keep a formal, standardized channel open for regulated carriers and intermediaries to relinquish some or all of their federal operating registration.
