§11107. Leased motor vehicles
(a) Except as provided in section 11101(c) of this title, the Interstate Commerce Commission may require a motor carrier providing transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under subchapter II of chapter 105 of this title that uses motor vehicles not owned by it to transport property under an arrangement with another party to-
(1) make the arrangement in writing signed by the parties specifying its duration and the compensation to be paid by the motor carrier;
(2) carry a copy of the arrangement in each motor vehicle to which it applies during the period the arrangement is in effect;
(3) inspect the motor vehicles and obtain liability and cargo insurance on them; and
(4) have control of and be responsible for operating those motor vehicles in compliance with requirements prescribed by the Secretary of Transportation on safety of operations and equipment, and with other applicable law as if the motor vehicles were owned by the motor carrier.
(b) The Commission shall require, by regulation, that any arrangement, between a motor carrier of property providing transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under subchapter II of chapter 105 of this title and any other person, under which such other person is to provide any portion of such transportation by a motor vehicle not owned by the carrier shall specify, in writing, who is responsible for loading and unloading the property onto and from the motor vehicle.

The section restates the source provisions for clarity and to reflect the transfer to the Secretary of Transportation of the Commission's functions related to safety of operations. The words "Except as provided in section 11101(c) of this title" are substituted for "Subject to the provisions of subsection (f) of this section" to cite the corresponding revised subsection. The word "regulations" is omitted as unnecessary in view of subchapter II of chapter 103 of the revised title. The word "arrangement" is substituted for "leases, contracts, or other arrangements" to eliminate redundancy.
