Text: 42 Colorado requires carriers to submit proof of insurance to the CPUC as part of the permit application. The Secretary's regulations do not, unlike Colorado's requirements, require the carrier to provide proof of insurance to officials of any of the various local jurisdictions through which hazardous materials are transported. We also note that the Secretary, in regulations promulgated under the Motor Carrier Safety Act, requires a motor carrier to retain proof of required insurance at his principal place of business and allow any member of the public to review this information. 49 C.F.R. § 387.7(d) & (e). 10 Therefore, Colorado's proof-of-insurance requirement causes a carrier of hazardous materials to submit more documentation than contemplated in the HMTUSA or other federal acts related to transportation. 43
