Short Statement: The estimated number of applicants for Form 33C (Vehicles) increased from 50,000 to 90,000 as a result of a new pilot program allowing a new payment option for commercial truck single-crossing user fees. The new pilot program allows carriers who opt for the single-crossing user fee to prepay the single-crossing user fee online via the DTOPS website prior to arrival at a port of entry. As a result, more respondents will be using the DTOPS website (Form 339C) to prepay the user fees.
