| :: Special Notice |
| • |
The U.S. Department of Transportation has amended its regulations, under 49 CFR Part 1, to redelegate the Motor Carrier Financial and Operating Statistics Program (49 CFR 1420) from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The effective date of the redelegation is September 29, 2004. This action was published in the Federal Register on August 17, 2004 (69 FR 51009).

The BTS Motor Carrier Financial and Operating Statistics (F&OS;) Program collects annual and quarterly data
from motor carriers of property and passengers that meet the applicability requirements listed in the table below.
The program collects balance sheet and income statement data along with information on tonnage, mileage, employees,
transportation equipment, and other related items, but there are no explicit safety data items.
The F&OS; forms are not currently a part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) compliance
review process. The F&OS; data are used by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), other government agencies,
trucking associations, insurance companies, consultants, law firms, academia, trade publications, and others.
Under 49 CFR 1420.10, unless otherwise provided by law, "the data contained in the report [s]...shall be made
publicly available."
Applicability
