Chapter 169 - THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PERFORMANCE AND REGISTRATION INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT (PRISM) PROGRAM
Section 250-169-E - USDOT NUMBR

The USDOT number will be the principal identification for the PRISM program. Each vehicle registrant must provide the USDOT number of the vehicle owner, the vehicle registrant, and the motor carrier. It is understood that in many cases, the vehicle owner, vehicle registrant, and motor carrier are the same entity. In those cases where these entities are different, each entity's USDOT number must be provided.

Prior to issuing an IRP registration, the carrier's, registrant's, and owner's USDOT numbers will be verified against the FMCSA MCMIS database. Failure to provide an accurate USDOT number at any level will result in registration denial.
