.ABOUT UCR:

The Unified Carrier Registration (U. C. R.) program is a Federally-mandated, annual state-administered registration program for interstate motor carriers. Motor carriers, motor private carriers, freight forwarders, leasing companies and brokers based in the United States, Canada, Mexico, or any other country that operate in interstate or international commerce in the United States must register under the U. C. R. program, through which, carriers pay U. C. R. fees through their base states on behalf of all participating states. If you are an interstate carrier based in a non- participating state, you still must comply, and a base state will be assigned to you.

U. C. R. fees are based on the total number of vehicles operated by a carrier. Trailers are not counted as vehicles. The number of commercial motor vehicles for purposes of determining carrier U. C. R. fees is the number of self-propelled commercial motor vehicles the carrier reported in the most recent Form MCS-150 filed with the FMCSA.

Entities not required to register under the U. C. R. program include: USDOT registrants (usually owner-operators that do not have interstate authority) under the PRISM program and private interstate motor carriers of passengers; Purely intrastate carriers, that is, those that do not engage in interstate transportation across state lines or otherwise operate in interstate commerce.

“Interstate Commerce” means trade, traffic, or transportation in the United States between: Unified Carrier Registration (1) A place in a State and a place outside of such State (including a place outside of the United States); (2) Two places in a State through another State or a place outside of the United States; or (3) Two places in a State as part of trade, traffic, or transportation originating or terminating outside the State or the United States.

On March 16, 2023, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ("FMCSA") published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking at the request of the U. C. R. Plan Board of Directors, which recommended reductions in fees for the 2024 U. C. R. year. After public notice and comment, FMCSA finalized the 2024 fee rule on June 22, 2023.*

This new state fee schedule* has been established by the FMCSA for the 2024 U. C. R. year and all subsequent years thereafter. [Federal Register Vol. 88, No. 119/ Thursday June 22, 2023]. The new U. C. R. Fee Rule is codified at 49 C.F.R. § 367.40. These fee brackets will remain in full force and effect moving forward until and unless modified by FMCSA.

The UCR Board of Directors has advised the public it will cease 2022 late fee collection through its the National Registration System (NRS) on Sept. 30, 2023. Non-compliance with UCR is determined through roadside inspection & in-office audits by your base state.

UCR fees are based on the total number of vehicles operated by a carrier. Trailers are not counted as vehicles. The number of commercial motor vehicles for purposes of determining carrier UCR fees is the number of self-propelled commercial motor vehicles the carrier reported in the most recent Form MCS-150 filed with the FMCSA. Carriers may subtract those vehicles operating soley intrastate. Property Brokers with MC Numbers register at the 0-2 fee range.

Interstate motor carriers must update their MCS-150 record every two years by
filing a biennial report with USDOT or to deactivate their USDOT Number to eliminate UCR liability.

If you prefer to file your MCS 150 online through the FMCSA website you will need your USDOT PIN*.  FMCSA now requires you submit your CDL when filing paper MCS-150 report updates.

Entities not required to register under the UCR program include: USDOT registrants (usually owner-operators that do not have interstate authority) under the PRISM program and private interstate motor carriers of passengers; Purely intrastate carriers, that is, those that do not engage in interstate transportation across state lines or otherwise operate in interstate commerce.
