CSA 2010 News - February 2010 Industry Briefing
HOS Update
The FMCSA has agreed to issue a new hours-of-service rulemaking as part of a federal court settlement on Oct. 26, 2009, with several advocacy groups. The advocacy groups that challenged the current hours-of-service rule, will suspend the litigation awaiting the completion of the FMCSA's rulemaking. Under the terms of the settlement, the FMCSA must send a notice of proposed rulemaking to the Office of Management and Budget within nine months and have another 12 months to issue a final rule. The current rules will remain in effect.
Unified Carrier Registration Agreement
2010 UNIFIED CARRIER REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
ALL MOTOR CARRIERS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
TO DATE, THE 2010 UCRA FEE STRUCTURE HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED. WE WILL POST IT ON OUR WEBSITE WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.
The Unified Carrier Registration Agreement (UCRA) was established by federal law to replace the Single State Registration System.
What companies are subject to the UCRA fees? The UCRA requires ALL interstate motor carriers required to register with the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), including private, for hire and exempt carriers - as well as interstate brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies - to file and pay fees under this program.
What entities are not subject to the UCRA fees? Intrastate motor carriers are not subject to UCRA per se, unless a state that participates in URCA elects to extend the requirements of UCRA to its intrastate carriers.
What equipment do I have to claim? ALL units over 10,000 lbs GVWR, including power units, buses, towed units (trailers, towed units will not be included in 2010), and straight trucks must be registered. All applications must be filed with the States before the enforcement date of January 1, 2009. Compliance for this will be closely monitored by the authorities and will be accessible by roadside enforcement officials.
What periods are required for UCRA Registration of my vehicles? For 2009, the initial registration is for the period 1/1/09 - 12/31/09. Renewals - 2009 registration fees are due on units owned from 7/01/07-6/30/08.
