What does a new entrant need to do to reapply after its new entrant registration has been revoked? (§ 385.329T)

Question:
What does a new entrant need to do to reapply after its new entrant registration has been revoked? (§ 385.329T)
Answer:

A new entrant whose USDOT new entrant registration has been revoked, and whose operations have been placed out of service by FMCSA, may reapply for new entrant registration no sooner than 30 days after the date of revocation. If the USDOT new entrant registration was revoked because of a failed safety audit, the new entrant must do all of the following:

  • Submit an updated MCS-150 and check the box “Reapplication (after revocation of new entrant)”
  • Submit evidence that it has corrected the deficiencies that resulted in revocation of its registration and will otherwise ensure that it will have basic safety management controls in effect
  • Begin the 18-month new entrant monitoring cycle again as of the date the re-filed application is approved

If the USDOT new entrant registration was revoked because FMCSA found that the new entrant had failed to submit to a safety audit, it must do all of the following:

  • Submit an updated MCS-150 and check the box “Reapplication (after revocation of new entrant)”
  • Begin the 18-month new entrant monitoring cycle again as of the date the re-filed application is approved
  • Submit to a safety audit

If the new entrant is a for-hire carrier subject to the registration provisions under 49 U.S.C. 13901 and has also had its operating authority revoked, it must apply for new operating authority.
