Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
FOREWARD
The International Registration Plan is a registered
				  reciprocity compact among states of the United States and provinces of Canada
				  providing for payment of license fees on the basis of fleet miles operated in
				  various jurisdictions.
The unique feature of this Plan is that, even though license
				  fees are paid to the various jurisdictions in which fleet vehicles are
				  operated, only one (1) license plate and one (1) cab card is issued for each
				  fleet vehicle when registered under the Plan. A fleet vehicle is known as an
				  apportionable vehicle and such vehicle, insofar as registration is concerned,
				  may be operated both interstate and intrastate.
The International Registration Plan is a product of the
				  American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, and this is recommended
				  for adoption by all jurisdictions.
I. Purpose and Principal
A. This reciprocal agreement shall be referred to,
				  cited, and known as the International Registration Plan.
B. It is the purpose of this agreement to promote
				  and encourage the fullest possible use of the highway system by authorizing the
				  proportional registration of fleets of vehicles, and the recognition of
				  vehicles proportionally registered in other jurisdictions, thus contributing to
				  the economic and social development and growth of the jurisdictions.
C. It is the purpose of this agreement to
				  implement the concept of one registration plate for one vehicle.
D. It is the purpose of the agreement to grant
				  exemptions from payment of certain fees when such grants are reciprocal.
E. It is the purpose of this agreement to grant
				  reciprocity to proportionally registered fleets of vehicles, and to provide for
				  the continuance of reciprocity granted to those vehicles that are not eligible
				  for proportional registration under the terms of this agreement.
II. Definitions Applicable to this Agreement
A. "Apportionable Fees" means any periodic
				  recurring fee required for licensing or registering vehicles, such as, but not
				  limited to, registration fees, license, and weight fees.
B. "Apportionable Vehicle" means any vehicle
				  except recreational vehicles, vehicles displaying restricted plates, city
				  pickup and delivery vehicles, buses used in transportation of chartered
				  parties, and government owned vehicles, used in two or more jurisdictions that
				  allocate or proportionally register vehicles, and is used for the
				  transportation of persons for-hire or designed, used, or maintained primarily
				  for the transportation of property, and:
1. has a gross vehicle weight in excess of 26,000
				  pounds; or
2. has three or more axles, regardless of weight;
				  or
3. is used in combination when the weight of such
				  combination exceeds 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight.
Vehicles, or combinations thereof, having a gross
				  vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds or less, and two-axle vehicles, may be
				  proportionally registered at the option of the registrant.
C.
1. "Base Jurisdiction" means, for the purpose of
				  fleet registration, the jurisdiction where the registrant has an established
				  place of business, where mileage is accrued by the fleet, and where operational
				  records of such fleet are maintained or can be made available in accordance
				  with the provisions of Article XIV, A, (2).
2. Registrants based in any jurisdiction not a
				  member of this agreement, and who have been licensing vehicles in any member
				  jurisdictions using basing point, allocation, or proration, may declare the
				  member jurisdiction where the most miles have been operated as a base
				  jurisdiction for purposes of this agreement until such time as the registrant's
				  base jurisdiction becomes a member of this agreement.
3. Household Goods Carriers using equipment leased
				  from service representatives may elect, with respect to such equipment, to base
				  such equipment in the base jurisdiction of the service representative, or that
				  of the carrier.
For equipment owned and operated by
				  owner-operators, other than service representatives, and used exclusively to
				  transport cargo for the household goods carrier, the equipment shall be
				  registered by the carrier in the base jurisdiction of the carrier, but in both
				  the owner-operator's name and that of the carrier as lessee, with the
				  apportionment of fees according to the records of the carrier.
D.
1. "Base Plate" means the plate issued by the base
				  jurisdiction, and shall be the only registration identification plate issued
				  for a vehicle by any member jurisdiction.

				  for the vehicle in accordance with the carrier's tariff, lawfully on file with
				  the Interstate Commerce Commission, have acquired the exclusive use of a
				  passenger-carrying motor vehicle to travel together as a group to a specified
				  destination or for a particular itinerary, either agreed upon in advance or
				  modified by the chartered group after having left the place of origin.
III. Fees For Proportional Registration
A. The registration fee for apportionable vehicles
				  shall be determined as follows:
1. Divide the in-jurisdiction miles by the total
				  miles generated during the preceding year.
2. Determine the total fees required under the
				  laws of each jurisdiction for full registration of each vehicle at the regular
				  annual or applicable fees, or for the unexpired portion of the registration
				  year.
3. Multiply the sum obtained under Paragraph 2 of
				  this section by the quotient obtained under Paragraph 1 of this section.

				  charged or levied by any jurisdiction in connection with the ownership or
				  operations of vehicles other than the apportionable fees as defined herein. All
				  other fees and taxes shall be paid to each jurisdiction in accordance with the
				  laws thereof.
IV. Application for Proportional Registered
A.
1. An applicant for proportional registration
				  shall file a uniform application with Commissioner of the base jurisdiction in
				  lieu of registration under other applicable statutes.
2. Whenever the base jurisdiction of the
				  registrant changes as a result of conditions described in Article II, (C) (2),
				  the re-registration of the registrant in the new jurisdiction shall be
				  accomplished through orderly and equitable procedures to be established by the
				  Commissioner of the two jurisdictions involved.
B. Applications for proportional registration
				  shall be filed on a date as determined by the base jurisdiction. Every
				  application for proportional registration shall, at the time and in the manner
				  required by the Commissioner, be supported by the payment of registration fees
				  in the amount determined in Article III, provided, however, the Commissioner
				  may, by regulation, postpone payment of fees until after the Commissioner has
				  computed the fees due.
C. The applicant for proportional registration of
				  trailers, and semitrailers, shall use the application form for such vehicle and
				  the apportionment of registration fees shall be computed by using the same
				  factor determined by in-jurisdiction and total miles in Article III, and this
				  shall be applied to the registration fee. Jurisdictions may waive trailer, and
				  semitrailer, apportionment. Jurisdictions requiring proportional registration
				  of trailers, and semitrailers, shall provide for such requirement by filing
				  exception as described in Article XVII.
D.
1. The application shall contain the number of
				  power units, number of trailers, and semitrailers, with such vehicle
				  description as may be required by the jurisdictions concerned and a uniform
				  mileage schedule.
2. The base jurisdiction, after receiving its
				  proportionate fees, shall supply the necessary identification plates and
				  prepare cab cards, listing on the front of the cab cards the jurisdictions
				  where the vehicles are proportionally registered, the weight for which
				  registered, and other necessary information in each of the jurisdictions. The
				  base jurisdiction may, in its discretion, withhold issuing plates and cards
				  until it has received evidence of payment due other member
				  jurisdictions.
3. The base jurisdiction shall notify the other
				  declared jurisdictions that a proportional registration application has been
				  filed, and shall furnish the declared jurisdiction a uniform mileage
				  schedule.
4. All plates and cards and reciprocal exemptions
				  are subject to cancellation and revocation in the event of erroneous issuance
				  thereof, or if any fees remain unpaid.
5. The base jurisdiction shall cooperate with
				  other declared jurisdictions in connection with applications and fees
				  paid.
E. In those cases where Household Goods Carrier's
				  equipment is elected to be registered in the base jurisdiction of the service
				  representative, the equipment shall be registered in said service
				  representative's name and that of the carrier as lessee with the apportionment
				  of fees according to the combined records of the service representative and
				  those of the carrier, and such records must be kept or made available in the
				  service representative's base jurisdiction.
If the election is the base jurisdiction of the
				  carrier, and such jurisdiction is a member jurisdiction, the equipment shall be
				  registered by and in the name of the carrier and that of the service
				  representative as lessor with the apportionment of fees according to the
				  records of the carrier and the service representative, which must include
				  intrastate miles operated by those vehicles applicable under this Agreement,
				  and the records must be kept or made available in the base jurisdiction of the
				  carrier. Service representatives properly registered under this election shall
				  be fully registered for operations under their own authority as well as under
				  the authority of the carrier.
V. Registration of Apportionable Vehicles
A. The Commissioner of the base jurisdiction shall
				  register apportionable vehicles upon application and payment of the
				  registration fees as provided in Articles III and IV. Payment of additional
				  fees for each vehicle so registered may be required by the Commissioner of the
				  base jurisdiction in an amount provided by statute or regulation of the base
				  jurisdiction for the issuance of a plate. A registration card shall be issued
				  for each vehicle registered by the Commissioner of the base jurisdiction, and
				  the card shall appropriately identify the vehicle for which it is issued, list
				  the jurisdictions in which the vehicle has been apportioned, the weight and
				  classification of fee for which registered according to the applications and
				  payments furnished by the applicant. Such registration card shall be carried in
				  or upon the vehicle for which it has been issued at all times.
B. Vehicles registered as provided in Section A of
				  this Article shall be deemed fully registered in all jurisdictions where
				  proportionally registered for any type of movement or operation provided the
				  registrant has proper interstate or intrastate authority from the appropriate
				  regulatory agency or is exempt from regulation by the regulatory agency.
C. There shall be no minimum vehicle fees for any
				  apportionable vehicle, except those statutory fees for issuance of
				  identifications or filing of applications.
VI. Registration of Additional Fleet Vehicles
A. Vehicles acquired by the registrant after the
				  commencement of the registration year and added to the proportionally
				  registered fleet shall be registered by applying the mileage percentage used in
				  the original application for such fleet for such registration period to the
				  regular registration fees with due respect to such vehicles for the remainder
				  of the registration year.
B. All applications for additional fleet vehicles
				  shall be filed and processed in the same manner as the original
				  application.
VII. Withdrawal of Fleet Vehicles, Credits, Replacement
				  Vehicles, and Accounting
A. If a vehicle is withdrawn from a proportionally
				  registered fleet during the period for which it is registered, the registrant
				  of such fleet shall notify the Commissioner on appropriate forms provided by
				  the Commissioner. The Commissioner shall require the registrant to surrender
				  the cab card and identification plates to the base jurisdiction with respect to
				  any such vehicle. If a vehicle is permanently withdrawn from a proportionally
				  registered fleet because it has been destroyed, sold, or otherwise completely
				  removed from the service of the registrant, the unused portion of the fees paid
				  with respect to such vehicle, where permitted by statute, shall be refunded by
				  each jurisdiction or be applied against liability of such registrant for
				  subsequent additions to such fleet during such registration year or for
				  additional fees upon audit.
B. If the registrant is replacing a vehicle for
				  one withdrawn from the fleet and such vehicle is of the same weight category as
				  that replaced, the registrant shall file a supplemental application with the
				  base jurisdiction. The base jurisdiction shall, in accordance with provisions
				  in Article VI (B), issue a new cab card and transfer the identification plates
				  to a new vehicle. When a replaced vehicle is of a greater weight or requires a
				  larger registration fee, the registrant shall file the re-registration with the
				  base jurisdiction in the manner set forth in Article VI for the registration of
				  additional fleet vehicles.
VIII. New Operations
A. Initial application for proportional
				  registration shall state the mileage data in all jurisdictions for the
				  preceding year with respect to such vehicle or vehicles. If no operations were
				  conducted with such vehicle or vehicles during the preceding year, the
				  application shall contain a full statement of the proposed method of operation
				  and estimates of annual mileage in each jurisdiction. The registrant shall
				  determine the in-jurisdiction and total mileage to be used in computing the
				  proportional registration fee for the vehicle or vehicles. The base
				  jurisdiction Commissioner may adjust the estimate in the application if the
				  base jurisdiction Commissioner is not satisfied with its correctness.
IX. Registration of Owner-Operator Vehicles
A. Proportional registration for owner-operators
				  who lease their vehicles to motor carriers may be accomplished in one of the
				  following procedures:
1. The owner-operator (lessor) may be the
				  registrant and the vehicle may be registered in the name of such
				  owner-operator. The allocation of fees shall be according to the operational
				  records of such owner-operator. The identification plates and cab card shall be
				  the property of the lessor; or
2. The lessee may be the registrant at the option
				  of the lessor and the vehicle may be registered by the carrier, but in both the
				  owner-operator's name and that of the carrier as lessee, with the allocation of
				  fees according to the records of the carrier. The identification plates and cab
				  card shall be the property of the lessee. Should an owner-operator, registered
				  pursuant to this Section, leave the fleet of the lessee, the lessee may proceed
				  in accordance with Article VII.
B. Vehicles of owner-operators that are not
				  proportionally registered or not fully registered in a jurisdiction having a
				  separate reciprocity agreement with the jurisdiction in which the vehicles is
				  being operated shall be subject to the trip permit requirement as set forth in
				  Article XII.
C. Each jurisdiction shall provide a means of
				  registration for owner-operators not operating as a lessor. Such registration
				  shall be a restricted plate or permit issued for a minimum fee and for a
				  registered gross weight not in excess of the empty weight of the
				  vehicle.
X. Trip Leasing
A. The lessee, except as provided for service
				  representatives in Article II (C), is responsible for the proper registration
				  of the vehicle. Except that an apportioned operator may lease equipment to
				  another apportioned fleet operator and the lessor shall be responsible for
				  reporting on the proportional application the miles traveled by the leased
				  equipment. The lessee shall be the person using and operating the equipment by
				  the lease agreement. The leased vehicle must bear proportional credentials and
				  be operated only in the jurisdictions to which fees have been paid or a trip
				  permit will be required. The service representative in Article II (C) shall
				  have the same responsibility for qualifying his vehicles.
XI. Registration of Rental Vehicles
A. Definitions applicable to this Article

				  from passenger car rental transactions occurring in the jurisdiction by the
				  total gross revenue received in the preceding year for the use of such rental
				  vehicles arising from passenger car rental transactions occurring in all
				  jurisdictions in which such vehicles are operated. The resulting percentage
				  shall be applied to the total number of passenger cars in the fleet and that
				  figure shall be the number of rental passenger cars that shall be fully
				  registered in the jurisdiction.
c. Trailers and Semitrailers - Trailers and
				  semitrailers not in separate pool fleets and used in normal tractor-trailer
				  operations shall be licensed according to Article IV (C). Where required,
				  trailers and semitrailers over 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, and used
				  solely in pool fleets, shall be licensed as follows:
Divide the gross revenue received in the preceding
				  year for use of such rental vehicles arising from rental transactions occurring

				  for the use of such rental vehicles arising from rental transactions in all
				  jurisdictions. The resulting percentage shall be applied to the number of units
				  in such fleet.
d. Utility Trailers - Utility Trailers 6,000
				  pounds gross vehicle weight and under. Every owner of utility trailers engaged
				  in the business of renting such trailers for use in a jurisdiction shall
				  register a number of trailers equal to the average number of such trailers in
				  or through the jurisdiction during the preceding year.
e. One-Way Vehicles - Trucks of less than 26,000
				  pounds gross vehicle weight operated as part of an identifiable one-way fleet
				  will allocate vehicles to the respective jurisdictions based on the mileage
				  factor procedure in Article III and fully plate said allocated vehicles in such
				  jurisdiction. All trucks of such one-way fleet so qualified will be allowed to
				  perform both interstate and intrastate movements in all jurisdictions.
XII. Trip Permit Registration
A. Trip permit registration may be issued for any
				  vehicle or combination of vehicles which could be lawfully operated in the

				  necessary trip permit fee and forward it to the jurisdiction for which the
				  permit was issued and deliver to the registrant the permit for movement in the
				  other jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
XIII. Preservation of Records and Audit
A. Any registrant whose application for
				  proportional registrant has been accepted shall preserve the records on which
				  it is based for a period of three preceding years. Such records shall be made
				  available to the Commissioner at his request for audit as to accuracy of
				  computation, payments, and assessments for deficiencies or allowances for
				  credits, during the normal business hours of the day.
B. If any registrant fails to make records
				  available to the Commissioner upon proper request or if any registrant fails to
				  maintain records from which his true liability may be determined, the
				  Commissioner may, thirty days after written demand for an availability of
				  records or notification of insufficient records, impose an assessment of
				  liability based on the Commissioner's estimate of the true liability of such
				  registrant, information gathered by the Commissioner at his own instance,
				  information available to the Commissioner concerning operations by similar
				  registrants and such other pertinent information as may be available to the
				  Commissioner.
XIV. Audits

				  of mileage figures derived from operational records and registrations and at
				  such time and frequency as determined by the base jurisdiction.
2. In the event that the registrant's operational
				  records are not located in the base jurisdiction and it becomes necessary for

				  normally kept, the base jurisdiction may require the registrant to reimburse
				  for per diem and travel expense of its auditors incurred in the performance of
				  such audit.
B. Upon completion of any such audit, the
				  Commissioner shall notify all jurisdictions in which the registrant was
				  proportionally registered on the accuracy of the records of such registrant.
