The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is requesting approval from the White House Office of Management and Budget for a new information collection request (ICR) titled “FMCSA Registration System (FRS).” In a Federal Register notice set for publication Friday, April 19, FMCSA said it is replacing its Unified Registration System (URS) with a new online registration system, which will be named the FMCSA Registration System. FMCSA announced its plans to overhaul its registration system at the Mid-America Trucking Show last month, partly in an effort to “clean up the bad actors” in the industry. [Related: The criminal element lurking in FMCSA's outdated registration system] The new system will allow anyone required to register under the agency’s commercial or safety jurisdiction to do so online. Specifically, this new ICR will apply to:
It will also apply to designated agents and those entities providing proof of financial responsibility requirements, such as insurance companies and broker bond agents, FMCSA noted. According to FMCSA, the new FRS will eliminate a number of forms currently used by motor carriers and others in the transportation industry, including the MCS-150, BOC-3, OP-1 and more, integrating them all into a new online system. The agency will accept comments on the proposed information collection for 60 days after its publication Friday. Comments can be filed at www.regulations.gov by searching Docket No. FMCSA-2024-0109. As reported, FMCSA is hosting a public virtual "stakeholder day" at the end of May to discuss the development of "a more user-friendly registration system that manages the registration life cycle of regulated entities." Registration for the May 29 event will be available at this page when it opens. [Related: FMCSA to end MC numbers, overhaul registration system to stamp out fraud] https://ift.tt/DNS5kXP
