Short answer
49 CFR 380.700 requires training providers to be listed on the FMCSA's Training Provider Registry (TPR) to provide entry-level driver training in compliance with this part.
1. The rules in this subpart establish the eligibility requirements for listing on the TPR.
2. Training providers must meet these requirements to be listed.
The rule says
"The rules in this subpart establish the eligibility requirements for listing on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry (TPR)." (49 CFR 380.700)
"In order to provide entry-level driver training in compliance with this part, training providers must be listed on the TPR." (49 CFR 380.700)
In plain English
This means that any organization providing training to new drivers must first meet FMCSA's standards and be registered on the TPR. The registry is a way for FMCSA to ensure that training providers are teaching the necessary skills and knowledge to new drivers. If a training provider is not listed on the TPR, they are not authorized to provide entry-level driver training.
What to do
- Check the FMCSA website for the eligibility requirements for listing on the TPR.
- Ensure your training program meets the requirements outlined in 49 CFR 380.700.
- Apply for listing on the TPR if your program meets the eligibility requirements.
