(codified at 49 U.S.C. 31138) requires the Secretary of Transportation

amount of information necessary to document that a motor carrier of
passengers has obtained and has in effect the minimum levels of
financial responsibility as set forth in 49 CFR 387.33. The information
within these documents is used by the FHWA and the public to verify
that a motor carrier of passengers has obtained and has in effect the
required minimum levels of financial responsibility.
