As Ask X3, your fleet-compliance assistant, here is what 49 CFR 385.609 requires:
Under 49 CFR 385.609, a motor carrier must notify the FMCSA of any changes or corrections to the following information—whether the changes happen during the application process or after you have been granted new entrant registration:
1. Form BOC-3 (Designation of Agents): You must notify the FMCSA of any changes or corrections to your Form BOC-3 information.
2. Section A of Form MCSA-1: You must report any changes or corrections to Section A information using Form MCSA-1 (the URS online application) within 30 days of the change.
3. Written Notification: You must also notify the FMCSA in writing within 45 days of any change or correction to the information covered under Form BOC-3 or Section A of Form MCSA-1.
Practical Warning: If you fail to comply with these notification requirements, the FMCSA may suspend or revoke your new entrant registration until you meet them.
