Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 3, March 22, 2024
1. If a motor carrier transporting interstate commodities exempt from registration with the FHWA received authority from the FHWA to transport regulated commodities in interstate commerce, the motor carrier must select its registration state and complete the registration process as required under these procedures and as follows:
2. If FHWA authority is received and the motor carrier intends to operate prior to January 1, 1994, the motor carrier will be required to comply (including payment of renewal fees) in the exact manner as all other FHWA authorized carriers for the registration period beginning January 1, 1994, in accordance with these procedures.
3. If FHWA authority is received after January 1, 1994, the fees for this program will be waived if those fees were previously paid to the states in the calendar year 1994 for each vehicle. The motor carrier shall include a statement with the registration form that the number of vehicles and the amount of fees paid as indicated on the fee listing attached to the registration form were the amounts paid to the states under the bingo stamp program. A registration receipt will be issued for those vehicles and those states of travel.
4. If the motor carrier desires to add additional states of travel or additional equipment, a supplemental registration form shall be completed. A supplemental registration receipt will be issued in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section VIII, L.
5. The registration state will at the monthly reporting period, indicate to other states the no-fee issuance of the receipt. If it has been determined that the motor carrier indicated on its fee schedule a number of vehicles and fees paid at a level greater than fees previously paid to the state, the state will notify the registration state of the deficiency and the need for the registration state to collect additional fees.
