Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 48 / Thursday, March 12, 2015 / Notices
Because the guidance made reference
to one vendor, License Monitor, it was
not considered helpful by some in the
industry for motor carriers using
systems other than the one operated by
License Monitor. The American
Trucking Associations raised the issue
with FMCSA and the Agency agrees that
the guidance should be revised to
provide generic guidance rather than
vendor-specific guidance. In addition,
since 2003, several SDLAs have
implemented ENS systems that provide
the driver record information to
employers.

FMCSA’s Decision
In consideration of the above, FMCSA
has determined that the current
regulatory guidance should be revised to
make clear that any State-operated ENS
may be used to satisfy the requirements
of 49 CFR 391.25, even if the
information is accumulated by a third
party. The FMCSA revises Question 4 to
49 CFR 391.25 to read as follows:
Qualification of Drivers, Annual
Inquiry and Review of Driving Record;
Regulatory Guidance for 49 CFR 391.25
Question 4: Does the use of an
employer notification system that
provides motor carriers with a
department of motor vehicle report for
every State in which the driver held
either an operator’s license, a
commercial driver’s license (CDL), or
permit when a driver is enrolled in the
system and provides information about
license status, crashes and convictions
of laws or regulations governing the
operation of motor vehicles on the
driving record satisfy the requirement
for an annual review of each driver’s
record?
Guidance: Yes. Since motor carriers
would be provided with a department of
motor vehicle report for every State in
which the driver held a commercial
motor vehicle operator’s license or
permit when a driver is enrolled in the
system and the State licensing agency
includes information about crashes and
convictions of laws or regulations
governing the operation of motor
vehicles on the driving record, the
requirements of § 391.25(a) would be
satisfied. Generally, the requirements of
§ 391.25(b) and (c) would be satisfied if
the employer notification system
records the identity of the motor
carrier’s representative who conducted
the review when the carrier’s
representative reviews the information
on the driving record.
The use of an employer notification
system would meet the requirements if
either the motor carrier automatically
receives updates from the State (push-

system) or can regularly access the
system to check for updates (pullsystem), as long as the check occurs at
least once per year. In addition, receipt
of these reports meets the requirement
for the annual check even if it is
provided to the motor carrier by a thirdparty.
With regard to the requirement that
the response from each State agency,
and a note identifying the person who
performed the review, may be
maintained in the driver’s qualification
files, motor carriers may satisfy the
recordkeeping requirement by using
computerized records in accordance
with FMCSA’s Regulatory Guidance
Concerning Electronic Documents and
Signatures, 75 FR 411, January 4, 2011.
Therefore, motor carriers using an
automated employer notification
computer system would not be required
to maintain paper copies of the driving
records, or a note identifying the person
who performed the review, in each
individual driver qualification file
provided documentation consistent
with FMCSA’s January 4, 2011,
guidance can be produced upon
demand of a Federal or State
enforcement official.
