Enclosure 3

Procedures for Entering Crashes without Carrier Identification
into SAFETYNET

NOTE: Both of these methods will prevent the record from being included in the calculation of a State's non-match rate.

Carrier Not Identifiable

If there is no positive carrier identification available:
·	Select either Intrastate or INTERSTATE as appropriate,
·	Check the "Carrier ID Unavailable" box next to MC/MX Number,
·	Populate the Carrier Name, Street Address, and City Name fields with "Unknown" and
·	Type "UK" in the State field and "99999" in the Zip Code field.

Non-Motor Carrier

For a vehicle which does not meet the definition of a commercial vehicle (1):
·	Select "Non-Motor Carrier" at the top of the Carrier Identification window.  This will disable and clear values from the fields USDOT Number, State Census Number and Issuing State, MC/MX Number, and Carrier ID Unavailable.  Additionally, the Search and Copy Search Data buttons are disabled and the field label "Carrier Name" changes to "Responsible Party."
·	Enter the name of the entity responsible for the safe movement of the vehicle.  This could be the name of a State or local government agency or school system.  If the responsible party is a private individual, enter "Individual."
·	Enter the street address, city name, State and zip code of the entity indicated above.  If the responsible party is a private individual, enter "Unknown" in the Street Address and City Name fields, "UK" in the State field and "99999" in the Zip Code field.


(1)    FMCSA's definition of a commercial motor vehicle can be found in 49 CFR §390.5.  Included are:

·	Privately-owned motor vehicles providing transportation of privately-owned goods or property in furtherance of a business enterprise.
·	Motor vehicles providing passenger transportation for compensation (for-hire).
