Abstract: This new information collection request (ICR) will be used to document the burden in 49 CFR 376, "Lease and Interchange of Vehicles," which require certain for-hire motor carriers to have a formal lease when leasing equipment. This regulation was adopted to ensure that small trucking companies were protected when they agreed to lease their equipment and drivers to larger for-hire carriers. They also ensure that the government and members of the public can determine who is responsible for a property-carrying commercial motor vehicle.
