Based on 49 CFR 385.419T, a standard safety permit is effective for two years, unless it is suspended or revoked.
To keep your safety permit active, you must practicalize the following requirements:
* File for renewal on time: You must submit your renewal application (Form MCS-150B) according to the filing schedule required by § 390.19T(a). If you fail to submit this renewal application on time, your safety permit will be subject to revocation.
* Coverage while waiting for renewal: If you submit your renewal application (Form MCS-150B) on time—following the schedule in § 390.19T(a)(2) and (3)—your existing safety permit will remain valid while the FMCSA processes your renewal.
