Who is required to comply with the Unified Registration System (URS) rule?

Published 12/05/2014 02:51 PM   |    Updated 05/05/2017 12:06 PM

The URS rule applies to all interstate motor carriers (private and for-hire motor carriers of passengers and property), freight forwarders, brokers, intermodal equipment providers (IEPs), hazardous materials safety permit (HMSP) applicants/holders, and cargo tank manufacturing and repair facilities under FMCSA jurisdiction. Mexican-domiciled carriers conducting long-haul operations are exempt from this ruling.

Note: The initial phase of URS  affected only new registrants (Dec. 12, 2015). Later phases  will affect all regulated entities.  

On January 17, 2017, FMCSA published a Federal Register notice suspending the January 14 and April 14, 2017 URS effectiveness dates.
