DOT/FMCSA | RIN: 2126-AB47 | Publication ID: Fall 2017 |
Title: Electronic Signatures and Documents (E-Signatures) (RRR) | |
Abstract:
FMCSA amends its regulations to allow the use of electronic records and signatures to satisfy FMCSA's regulatory requirements. These amendments permit the use of electronic methods to sign, certify, generate, exchange, or maintain records so long as the documents accurately reflect the required information and can be used for their intended purpose. This rule applies only to those documents that FMCSA's regulations obligate entities or individuals to retain; it does not apply to forms or other documents that must be submitted directly to FMCSA. This rule implements the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN). |
