(a) Common and contract motor car-riers of property are grouped into the following three
9、classes: Class I. Carriers having annual car-rier operating revenues (including interstate and intrastate) of $10 million or more after applying the revenue deflator formula in Note A. Class II. Carriers having annual car-rier operating revenues (including interstate and intrastate) of at least $3 m
10、illion but less than $10 million after applying the revenue deflator formula in Note A. Class III. Carriers having annual car-rier operating revenues (including interstate and intrastate) of less than $3 million after applying the revenue deflator formula in Note A. (b)(1) The class to which any car
11、rier belongs shall be determined by annual carrier operating revenues (excluding revenues from private carriage, com-pensated intercorporate hauling, and leasing vehicles with drivers to private carriers) after applying the revenue deflator formula in Note A. Upward and downward classification will
12、be ef-fective as of January 1 of the year im-mediately following the third consecu-tive year of revenue qualification. (2) Any carrier which begins new op-erations by obtaining operating au-thority not previously held or extends its existing authority by obtaining ad-ditional operating rights shall
13、be clas-sified in accordance with a reasonable estimate of its annual carrier oper-ating revenues after applying the rev-enue deflator formula shown in Note A. (3) When a business combination oc-curs such as a merger, reorganization, or consolidation, the surviving carrier shall be reclassified effe
14、ctive as of Jan-uary 1 of the next calendar year on the basis of the combined revenues for the year when the combination occurred after applying the revenue deflator for-mula shown in Note A.

16、n annual operating revenues that would cause a change in classification. The carrier may request a waiver or an exception from these regulations in unusual or extenuating circumstances, where the classification process will unduly burden the carrier, such as partial liquidation or curtail-ment or el
17、imination of contracted services. The request must be in writ-ing, specifying the conditions justi-fying the waiver or exception. FMCSA will notify the carriers of any change in classification. (5) Carriers not required to file an Annual Report Form M may be re-quired to file the Worksheet for Calcu

Class IICarriers having average an-nual gross transportation operating revenues (including interstate or intra-state) of less than $5 million from pas-senger motor carrier operations after applying the revenue deflator formula as shown in the Note.
23、(b)(1) The class to which any carrier belongs shall be determined by annual carrier operating revenues after apply-ing the revenue deflator formula as shown in the Note. Upward and down-ward reclassification will be effective as of January 1 of the year imme-diately following the third consecutive y
24、ear of revenue qualification. (2) Any carrier which begins new op-erations (obtains operating authority not previously held) or extends its ex-isting authority (obtains additional op-erating rights) shall be classified in ac-cordance with a reasonable estimate of its annual carrier operating revenue
25、s after applying the revenue deflator for-mula shown in the Note. (3) When a business combination oc-curs, such as a merger, reorganization, or consolidation, the surviving carrier shall be reclassified effective as of Jan-uary 1 of the next calendar year on the basis of the combined revenues for th

This request shall be in writing specifying the conditions justifying the waive
28、r. The FMCSA then shall notify carriers of any change in classification or reporting requirements.

42、III (10110 Edition) 369.8 369.8 Requests for exemptions from filing. (a) In General. This section governs requests for exemptions from filing of reports required under 369.1. (b) Criteria. The Federal Motor Car-rier Safety Administration (FMCSA) may grant a request upon a proper showing that the exe
43、mption is nec-essary to preserve confidential business information that is not otherwise pub-licly available. Information is consid-ered to be confidential when: (1) Disclosure of the information in the carriers report would be likely to cause substantial harm to the carriers competitive position; o
44、r (2) Disclosure of information in the report would be likely to impair protectable government interests. (c) Contents of a request. The contents of a request for an exemption from fil-ing must contain, at a minimum, the contents that are required for a request for an exemption from public release c
45、ontained in 369.9(c). A carriers re-quest may include any other grounds as to why the request should be grant-ed. (d) When requests are due. The timing of a request for an exemption from fil-ing is the same as the timing for a re-quest for an exemption from public re-lease contained in 369.9(d). The
46、 table below summarizes report and request due dates. Report Report due by Request due by Annual Form M March 31 . March 31 First Quarter Form QFR April 30 March 31 Second Quarter Form QFR .

47、31 (e) Decision to grant or deny a request. (1) A request will be denied if it fails to provide all of the supporting informa-tion required in paragraph (c) of this section or if the supporting informa-tion is insufficient to establish that in-formation in the carriers report meets the criteria in p
48、aragraph (b) of this sec-tion. (2) FMCSA will grant or deny each request within a reasonable period of time. FMCSA will notify the carrier of its decision. The decision by FMCSA shall be administratively final. (f) Pendency. While a request is pend-ing, the carrier is required to submit any reports
49、required under 369.1. (g) Period of exemptions. If a request for an exemption under this section is granted, the carrier will be exempt from the reporting requirements of 369.1 for a period of three reporting years. (h) Modification of a decision to grant a request. If a request is granted it re-mains in effect in accordance with its terms, unless modified by a later find-ing that the decision was clearly erro-neous. If FMCSA beli
