What do I need to do to get operating authority?
To get your interstate operating authority and take advantage same-day electronic filing service (no additional charge) just fill out Evilsizor’s on-line questionnaire through their website: Evilsizor & Associates. They will file your application with the correct federal government agency. You should know that there is no longer an Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). It was dissolved by Congress in 1996 (Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act). Applications were then handled by the Federal Highway Administration for a short time but are now no longer processed by that agency. There are now two agencies under the USDOT that perform the remaining licensing, insurance and tariff/complaint review functions that were formerly performed by the ICC.
For authority and related compliance questions, please contact Evilsizor & Associates.
