FMCSA Reduces UCR Fees for 2023

FMCSA Reduces UCR Fees for 2023

2023 will see a major reduction in Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) fees collected by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

FMCSA Reduces UCR Fees for 2023

On September 1, the FMCSA published a notice amending the regulations for the annual registration fees states collect from motor carriers, motor private carriers of property, brokers, freight forwarders and leasing companies for the UCR plan and agreement for 2023.

According to the FMCSA, the reduction in annual registration fees will be between $18 and $17,688 per entity, depending on the application fee bracket which is based on the number of vehicles owned or operated.

The UCR is an annual permit that most motor carriers must pay if they have an active U.S. DOT number. The UCR program requires individuals or companies that operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate or international commerce to register their business with a participating state and pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet. WCS Permits helps motor carriers file, pay and understand their UCR fees. Carriers can apply online for assistance.

New fees will go into effect in the 41 states participating in the UCR plan starting October 1, 2023.

The FMCSA said fee adjustments must be requested by the UCR plan when annual revenues exceed the maximum allowed. If there are excess funds after payments to the states and for administrative costs, they are retained in the UCR plan’s depository, and fees in subsequent fee years may be reduced as required.
