49 C.F.R. Subpart B—How To Oppose Requests for Authority
Title 49 - Transportation
A person wishing to oppose a request for permanent authority files a protest. A person filing a valid protest becomes a protestant. A protest shall be filed (received at the FMCSA) within 10 days after notice of the application appears in the FMCSA Register. A copy of the protest shall be sent to applicant's representative at the same time. Failure timely to file a protest waives further participation in the proceeding. (a) All information upon which the protestant plans to rely is put into the protest. (b) A protest must be verified, as follows:
I, __________, verify under penalty of perjury under laws of the United States of America, that the information above is true and correct. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this protest. (See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 18 U.S.C. 1621 for penalties.) (Signature and Date) (c) A protest not in substantial compliance with applicable statutory standards or these rules may be rejected. (d) Protests must respond directly to the statutory standards for FMCSA review of the application. As these standards vary for particular types of applications, potential protestants should refer to the general criteria addressed at §365.107 and may consult the FMCSA at (202) 366–9805 for further assistance in developing their evidence. [59 FR 63728, Dec. 9, 1994. Redesignated at 61 FR 54707, Oct. 21, 1996, as amended at 62 FR 49940, Sept. 24, 1997] A protestant wishing to withdraw from a proceeding shall inform the FMCSA and applicant in writing.
