Why was my operating authority application dismissed? How can I have it “undismissed?”
If insurance and Form BOC-3 are not filed approximately 90 days from the date of filing of the application, then the application will be dismissed. If the FMCSA has dismissed your application for operating authority, it is because the process of obtaining authority was not completed and your operating authority was never granted.
Please note: after the second phase of the Unified Registration System (URS) takes effect on January 14, 2017, FMCSA will no longer be undismissing applications. If an application is dismissed, the applicant must reapply for operating authority and pay another $300.
To have your operating authority undismissed you must:
- Be in compliance with insurance and Form BOC-3 requirements
- Fax a written request for undismissal to 202-366-3477, ATTN: Licensing or
- You can also scan and email the signed OP-1 via our web form. You will receive a tracking number.
- Include the following information:
- Company MC number
- Company name
- Statement requesting that your operating authority be undismissed
An undismissal request will be considered within one year from the dismissal date (as long as that date is before January 14, 2017).
