What happens if a new entrant refuses to permit a safety audit to be performed on its operations?
• 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). • If the new entrant does not agree to undergo a safety audit as specified in paragraph 1 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 1 of this section. Additional detailed information regarding interstate Safety Audits can be found in CFR Part 385.
