INTERSTATE OPERATING AUTHORITY OVERVIEW Also see Obtaining Your Interstate Authority: What Permits Plus Does Also see Interstate Authority Definitions And Insurance Requirements Also see Reinstate Or Amend Your Authority Formerly known as ICC or FHWA authority, Interstate Operating Authority is permission granted by the federal government to transport regulated freight across state lines and is identified by the issuance of an MC number. Interstate Operating Authority is now granted by the Office of Motor Carrier Safety Administration under the auspices of the FHWA. Unlike many of the other regulations governing interstate operations, there is no minimum weight threshold that requires compliance. Any vehicle operating for hire in interstate transportation of regulated freight or passengers must have operating authority. After authority is granted, all regulated motor carriers must register their authority with the states in which they will conduct operations. This is done through the Unified Carrier Registration Program (UCR).Currently 34 states participate but if your base state is a non-participating state, then application is made through a neighboring state that belongs to the UCR. Only after you are registered with the UCR are you legal to operate in interstate commerce. For more information regarding the Unified Carrier Registration Plan click here. Any regulated freight that is transported wholly within state lines (pickup and deliver the same load without crossing state lines) is considered intrastate carriage or point to point and is controlled on the state level. Permission to conduct this type of operation is known as Intrastate Authority. Most intrastate operations require registration with the state(s) where these operations take place. For more information on Intrastate Authority click here. Certain Freight is considered "exempt" (such as produce) and is therefore bound by statutory regulations. Although exempt commodities do not require federal operating authority, all exempt carriers must now register through the Unified Carrier Registration Plan.
