ABOUT UCR:
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) 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 UCR program, through which, carriers pay UCR 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.
Effective December 28, 2018, the UCR Board of Directors changed the state UCR fee schedule that was previously in effect for 2018 (49 C.F.R. § 367.40) pursuant to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rulemaking . The 2019 fee schedule was established by 49 C.F.R. § 367.50 and will remain in full force and effect until December 31, 2019. The UCR Board of Directors advises the 2019 Fee collection will cease on Sept. 30, 2020. 2020 UCR fees are codified at 49 C.F.R. § 367.60. A revised fee schedule took effect on February 13, 2020 and continues until and unless FMCSA changes the fee at the request of the UCR Board of Directors. The UCR Board announced on August 13, 2020 that it will not change the fee structure for 2021 UCR.
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.
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; Purely intrastate carriers, that is, those that do not engage in interstate transportation across state lines or otherwise operate in interstate commerce.
