Issue NameInspection Software Notification for UCR Fees
Summary of Issue

The UCR Plan would like to place a UCR violation notice in the new Aspen replacement system that notifies officers during an inspection when a motor carrier is not in compliance with Unified Carrier Registration for the current year.

Justification or Need

Failure to register and pay for UCR is a company-level violation of federal regulation, 49 C.F.R. 392.2, and according to an FMCSA study, correlates to a higher incidence of motor carrier crashes.

Request for Action

See, "Summary of Issue", above.

Action Taken by Committee

The committee discussion centered around this mostly being a training issue. Also, there were no stats on how this contributed to the increase in crashes. FMCSA IT stated this was a doable request in the SafeSpect. This was implemented into SafeSpect.
