Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration September 1, 2022 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

FMCSA amends the regulations for the annual registration fees States collect from motor carriers, motor private carriers of property, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies for the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Plan and Agreement for the 2023 registration year and subsequent registration years. The fees for the 2023 registration year would be reduced below the fees for 2022. The reduction in annual registration fees would be between $18 and $17,688 per entity, depending on the applicable fee bracket that is based on the number of vehicles owned or operated by the affected entity.

FMCSA announces that it has received an application from Flat Top Transport requesting an exemption from the hours-of-service (HOS) regulations. Flat Top Transport requests a four-month exemption for ``immediate and emergency delivery of dry and bulk food grade products to locations that supply stores and distribution centers nationally.'' FMCSA requests public comment on the applicant's request for exemption.
