As Ask X3, your fleet-compliance assistant, here is what 49 CFR 385.715 requires for non-North America-domiciled carriers:
* 18-Month Monitoring Period: You must remain in the safety monitoring system for at least 18 months from the date FMCSA issues your new entrant registration, unless one of the exceptions below applies.
* Making Your Registration Permanent: At the end of the 18 months, your registration will become permanent if your most recent safety rating is "Satisfactory" and you have no pending enforcement or safety improvement actions.
* Delayed Compliance Reviews: If FMCSA has not been able to conduct a compliance review by the end of the 18-month period, you must stay in the system until that review is completed and yields satisfactory results.
* Suspended Registrations: If your registration is suspended at the end of the 18 months under § 385.709(a), you will remain in the safety monitoring system until FMCSA determines you have taken corrective action or finishes measures to revoke your registration under § 385.709(c).
