These information collection requirements are minimal and are used to ensure that motor carriers have adequate documentation of the systematic inspection, repair and maintenance programs required by 49 CFR part 393. This revision is due to a Final Rule entitled, "Requirements for Intermodal Equipment Providers and Motor Carriers and Drivers Operating Intermodal Equipment."
The program change increase of 121,250 annual burden hours is due to the regulatory requirements set forth in the final rule on intermodal equipment roadibility that will increase the annual burden hours from 59,093,244 to 59,214,494.
