             Subpart D_New Entrant Safety Assurance Program

 

Sec. 385.337  What happens if a new entrant refuses to permit a safety 

audit to be performed on its operations?



    (a) If a new entrant refuses to permit a safety audit to be 

performed on its operations, the FMCSA will provide the carrier with 

written notice that its registration will be revoked and its operations 

placed out of service unless the new entrant agrees in writing, within 

10 days from the service date of the notice, to permit the safety audit 

to be performed. The initial refusal to permit a safety audit to be 

performed may subject the new entrant to the penalty provisions in 49 

U.S.C. 521(b)(2)(A).

    (b) If the new entrant does not agree to undergo a safety audit as 

specified in paragraph (a) of this section, its registration will be 

revoked and its interstate operations placed out of service effective on 

the 11th day from the service date of the notice issued under paragraph 

(a) of this section.
