FMCSA Unified Registration System Information Collection Renewal (OMB Control No. 2126-0051)
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has announced its intent to renew an existing Information Collection Request (ICR) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The ICR, titled 'Unified Registration System, FMCSA Registration/Updates' and assigned OMB Control No. 2126-0051, governs how new motor carrier registrants submit their registration information and operating authority requests to FMCSA. All new registrants seeking initial registration or operating authority with FMCSA are required to use online Form MCSA-1, submitted through the Unified Registration System (URS). This digital-only process standardizes how trucking companies, freight brokers, and other regulated entities enter the federal commercial transportation system. The renewal does not introduce new regulatory requirements but ensures FMCSA maintains OMB authorization to continue collecting registration data from the regulated community. The submission to OMB for review and approval is a routine procedural step required every three years under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
