View Rule

FMCSA implements certain requirements under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP21). Previously, FMCSA implemented the MAP21 requirement to increase the financial security amount for brokers from $25,000 to $75,000 for household brokers and from $10,000 to $75,000 for all other property brokers and, for the first time, established financial security requirements for freight forwarders. The agency implements regulations in five separate areas: Assets readily available; immediate suspension of broker/freight forwarder operating authority; surety or trust responsibilities in cases of broker/ freight forwarder financial failure or insolvency; enforcement authority; and entities eligible to provide trust funds for form BMC85 trust fund filings.
