Result: Carrier has adequate basic safety management controls in place.HOW THE SA IS SCOREDFACTORS - The Federal Motor Carrier Safety and Federal Hazardous Material Regulations are categorized into six factors. Multiple questions address the various factors. The Part B Question & Answer Report lists the CFR section numbers related to each question.CRITICAL/ACUTE - Questions are also defined as CRITICAL, ACUTE or neither depending on the significance of the underlying regulation. Questions are assigned a point value if they are incorrectly answered. Critical = 1 and Acute = 1.5. The point values are summed for each factor. Any factor with a point value of 3 or more is marked "FAILED".OUT OF SERVICE (OOS) RATE - The Driver/Vehicle OOS rate is used in factor #4 as another question. If there have been more than three level 1, 2, or 5 North American Standard Inspections conducted over the past year, they will be summarized. If the summed OOS rate is over 34%, one additional point is assigned to that factor.CRASH FACTOR - Carriers are defined as urban or non-urban in order to compensate for the higher crash risk of urban operations. Urban carriers are defined as those that operate within a 100 air-mile radius. The crash rate for a carrier is calculated as accidents per million miles traveled. Factor #6 is "FAILED" if the urban carrier crash rate exceeds 1.7 or the non-urban carrier crash rate exceeds 1.5.OVERALL STATUS DETERMINATION - Any carrier with 3 or more "FAILED" factors is deemed to have failed the Safety Audit by having inadequate safety management controls in place to operate in the U.S.IMPORTACIONES Y DISTRIBUCIONES LATINA AMERICA GAMI SA DApplication Tracking #:12075RFC #: IDL090806K27Review Date:
