What changes have been made to the schedule for the Unified Registration System (URS) roll-out?

The initial phase of URS became available December 12, 2015. The first phase affected new registrants only:
- All new registrants (defined as an entity who does not have, and has never had, an active USDOT number) must use the URS wizard to apply for DOT/MC numbers
- Existing carriers continue to use current online/paper forms to make updates
- Other URS requirements are postponed until the second phase of URS
Existing carriers and other regulated entities will not be affected by the first phase. Expected during the later phases of URS:
- All carriers must use URS to register, make updates, including name and address changes, revoking, reinstating, undismissing or transferring operating authority, reapplications, etc.
- Private carriers of non-exempt commodities are required to have proof of financial responsibility and process agent declaration in place
- New fee structure takes effect
- MC numbers are discontinued and authorities are listed until DOT number. New carriers are only issued DOT numbers
On January 17, 2017, FMCSA published a Federal Register notice suspending the January 14 and April 14, 2017 URS effectiveness dates.
