Privacy Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c),
DOT solicits comments from the public
to better inform its rulemaking process.
DOT posts these comments, without
edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–
14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.
Background
FMCSA registers for-hire motor
carriers under 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface
freight forwarders under 49 U.S.C.
13903, and property brokers under 49
U.S.C. 13904. Each registration is
effective from the date specified under
49 U.S.C. 13905(c). ‘‘Procedures for
changing the name or business form of
a motor carrier, freight forwarder, or
property broker,’’ (49 CFR 365.413)
states that motor carriers, forwarders,
and brokers must submit the required
information to FMCSA’s Office of
Registration requesting the change.
Paragraph (f) of 49 CFR 360.3 mentions
fees that FMCSA collects for ‘‘petition
for reinstatement of revoked operating
authority,’’ but does not provide any
specifics for the content that petition
should take.
Motor carriers, freight forwarders, and
property brokers are required to use
Form MCSA–5889 to request a name or
address change and to request
reinstatement of a revoked operating
authority. Respondents can submit the
form online through the Licensing and
Insurance (L&I) website, by fax, or by
mail. According to data collected
between 2020 and 2022, annually,
approximately 1 percent of forms are
submitted by mail; 7 percent are
submitted by fax; and 92 percent are
submitted online. The information
collected is then entered in the L&I
database by FMCSA staff.
Form MCSA–5889 enables FMCSA to
maintain up-to-date records so that the
Agency can recognize the entity in
question in case of enforcement actions
or other procedures required to ensure
that the carrier is fit, willing, and able
to provide for-hire transportation
services, and so that entities whose
operating authority has been revoked
can resume operation if they are not
otherwise blocked from doing so. This
multi-purpose form, filed by registrants
on a voluntary, as-needed basis,
simplifies the process of gathering the
information needed to process the
entities’ requests in a timely manner,
with the least amount of effort for all
parties involved.
