about broker services, the HHG brokers must collect the following information and distribute it to HHG shippers:
1. A list of motor carriers with whom it has agreements 49 CFR 371.109a;
and 2. A statement indicating the broker is not a motor carrier and that the broker is only arranging transportation of the shippers goods 49 CFR 371.109b.
III. Third Phase: Estimate When HHG shippers request estimates, the HHG brokers must collect the following information and distribute it to HHG shippers and/or store the information received:
1. FMCSAs published information materials: 1 Ready to Move?Tips for a Successful Interstate Move and 2
Your Rights and Responsibilities When you Move 49 CFR 371.111a1,a2, & a3;
2. A document signed by the shipper, showing he/she received FMCSAs published information material 49 CFR
371.111c;
3. A written estimate based on the motor carriers physical survey of household items 49 CFR 371.113a, with estimates based on published motor carrier rates 49 CFR 371.113b;
4. If applicable, the shipper must sign a Waiver receipt, showing he/she has waived his/her right to a physical survey of his/her household items by the motor carrier. The HHG broker must collect the Waiver receipt and store the record 49 CFR 371.113b.
IV. Fourth Phase: Agreement Should the shipper find the shipping estimate and broker services reasonable and wish to contract the brokers services, the two parties must enter into an agreement. At this point, it is standard practice for shippers to pay either a deposit or make full payment.
However, before collecting any payment, the broker must collect the following information and distribute it to the HHG shipper:
An agreement document with required specifications as laid out by 49
CFR 371.115; and An agreement document which highlights the brokers and/or motor carriers refund policy for cancellation of agreements 49 CFR 371.117a.
The information provided in phases I, II, III, and IV supports the requirements of 49 CFR part 371, subpart B, and the Departments secondary mission to support HHG consumer protection.

used by prospective HHG shippers to make informed decisions about contracts, services ordered, executed, and settled. The HHG broker is often the earliest contact for individual HHG
shippers in an interstate moving transaction; therefore, it makes sense for HHG brokers to provide HHG shippers with consumer protection information.
FMCSA revises the total annual burden to 72,808 hours. This is a 2,723
annual burden hour increase from the currently approved 70,085 annual burden estimate. This increase is due to the following: 1 The previous iteration did not account for the time brokers use to complete a waiver should shippers choose to waive their rights to a physical survey, if applicable to a shipper, as required by 49 CFR
371.113c1, c2, and c3; 2 the previous iteration did not clarify a reproducible frequency formula used to calculate the number of times brokers collect information and submit information to shippers. To produce a reproducible frequency formula, the updated information collection introduced the concept of phases, which created a frequency number based on business interactions between brokers and shippers as explained above; and 3 FMCSAs records indicate the number of household goods brokers increased from 543 brokers to 652 brokers.
In addition to the above, an adjustment was made to this ICR
revision from the previous ICR renewal with regards to the annual hourly burden estimate for broker transaction records49 CFR 371.3. The annual hourly burden was removed from this ICR revision because the burden is for the collection of information that the broker would ordinarily record for other standard business practices such as tax purposes. As a result, the associated annual hourly burden estimate is removed. The previous ICR accounted 32,580 annual burden hours 2 for transaction records, while this ICR
revises the annual burden to 0 hours.
