B. Purpose

    The FAR requires insertion of clause 52.247-2, Permits, 
Authorities, or Franchises, when regulated transportation is involved. 
The clause requires the contractor to indicate whether it has the 
proper authorization from the Federal Highway Administration (or other 
cognizant regulatory body) to move material. The contractor may be 
required to provide copies of the authorization before moving material 
under the contract. The clause also requires the contractor, at its 
expense, to obtain and maintain any permits, franchises, licenses, and 
other authorities issued by State and local governments. The Government 
may request to review the documents to ensure that the contractor has 
complied with all regulatory requirements.
