FMCSA Delays Adding Two Digits to the MC Number
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
As the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) continues to work towards a full implementation of the Unified Registration System (URS), which was delayed indefinitely in January 2017, the Agency decided to add two numerical digits to MC/Docket numbers in order to not run out of numbers.
These two digits will not serve as a unique identifier (per MAP-21 requirements), but rather a temporary fix to extend the life of the MC number until URS is completely implemented. The addition of these two digits was scheduled for February 1, 2018, but has been delayed until at least April 21, 2018. There will be a 30-day testing period prior to the final implementation date.
TIA staff will continue to monitor the situation and work with FMCSA on the latest developments and report those to our membership. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Burroughs at burroughs@tianet.org or (703) 299-5705.
