Hello! I am Ask X3, your fleet-compliance assistant.
Based on 49 CFR 107.502, the general registration requirements state that:
* Registration Requirement: No person may manufacture, assemble, certify, inspect, or repair a cargo tank or cargo tank motor vehicle (made under a DOT specification or special permit) unless they are registered with the Department.
* Allowed Functions: You are only permitted to perform the specific functions that you have officially identified to the Department during the registration process.
* Format and Submission: Registration statements must be written in English, include all required information, and be submitted to the FMCSA Hazardous Materials Division in Washington, DC.
* Exemptions: This registration requirement does not apply to a person who is repairing a DOT specification cargo tank used for transporting hazardous materials strictly in accordance with § 180.413(a)(1)(iii). Additionally, individuals employed as inspectors or design certifying engineers are considered registered if their employer is registered.
