Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs)

The Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Rule applies to most motor carriers and drivers who are required to keep records of duty status (RODS). As part of the MAP-21 Act, Congress required adoption of the ELD rule.

ELD's are NOT a substitute for the recordkeeping requirements for IFTA or IRP.

ELDs are required to record hours of service, not miles and fuel. The data provided by most ELDs does not meet the requirements for IFTA or IRP. In addition, most ELD providers do not retain your records for longer than one year; IRP requires records be retained for 3 years after the current registration period or longer if you are notified your records are being audited.

Questions on ELDs can be answered by FMCSA at (701) 250-4346.

Registration Manual Disclosure

This manual provides information on the International Registration Plan (IRP). For information on the International Fuel Tax Association (IFTA) including recordkeeping requirements, which are different from the IRP recordkeeping requirements, please refer to the most current NDDOT IFTA Manual. Additional IFTA information may be found at .

This manual is designed to guide and assist individuals in performing the registration of apportioned vehicles. When appropriate or necessary there may be deviations from these procedures due to changes in policies, interpretation, or law. Applicants are encouraged to read and follow the instructions provided precisely to speed up the registration process. Applications are processed on a first-in first-out basis. Same day service is not always available. This manual may be changed at any time.

Current International Registration Plan (IRP) details including the complete Plan, recordkeeping requirements, and audit details can be found at .

Section 39-19-04 of the North Dakota Century Code grants the Department authority to participate in the International Registration Plan.

Anyone requiring more information should contact:

It is the NDDOT's policy that all employees have the right to work in an environment free of harassment. An employee may discontinue service to a customer if the customer subjects the employee to conduct, communication, or sexually explicit paraphernalia which may interfere with the employee's work performance or create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment.

Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and its related statutes and regulations, no person or groups of persons shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, or income status, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subject to discrimination under any and all programs, services, or activities administered by the North Dakota Department of Transportation.

What is IRP?

The International Registration Plan (IRP) is an agreement among 48 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and 10 Canadian provinces which recognizes the registration of commercial motor vehicles registered by other jurisdictions. In 1991 the U.S. Congress enacted legislation (the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991) which mandated that all the states (except Alaska and Hawaii) join the IRP by 1996.

IRP fees are calculated on an apportioned basis, depending on the percentage of actual distance the fleet traveled in each jurisdiction, vehicle value and type, vehicle age, registered weight, and vehicle identification information. Each base jurisdiction transmits the fees it collects from its IRP registrants to the IRP Clearinghouse which distributes it to other IRP member jurisdictions. Base jurisdictions issue a cab card and plate(s) for each IRP registered vehicle.

What is Apportioned Registration?

The apportioned registration system allows for flexibility of commerce between the member jurisdictions. Such efficient use of the highway system is beneficial to the economic and social growth of the member jurisdictions. Freedom of vehicle movement is achieved through official recognition of apportioned vehicles by all member jurisdictions.

IRP member jurisdictions: ? Agree to allow the base jurisdiction to collect apportionment fees for all jurisdictions collectively at the time of registration or renewal. The base jurisdiction will distribute fees to the other IRP jurisdictions as outlined by the IRP Plan. ? Accept a single registration plate. Buses will be issued two plates. ? Accept a single registration card (cab card). ? Allow registrants to travel both interstate and intrastate

jurisdictionally. Intrastate travel is subject to the terms of the operating authority issued by each member jurisdiction.

Apportioned Registration Does Not: ? Waive or exempt a carrier from obtaining operating authority from any jurisdiction in which the apportioned vehicle travels (either inter or intra); ? Waive or replace the requirements of the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA); ? Waive or exempt the requirements of the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR); ? Waive or exempt the payment or reporting of other taxes (income tax, sales tax, etc.); ? Allow registrants to exceed the maximum length, width, height, or axle limitations; ? Waive or exempt the payment or reporting of the IRS Federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (Form 2290); ? Exempt a carrier from filing the necessary proof of liability coverage in each jurisdiction, where required.

When to Apply for Apportioned Registration

Vehicles traveling exclusively within North Dakota will need an in-state commercial plate, which may be purchased from any branch office. If a carrier travels outside North Dakota, either a trip and fuel permit or an IRP plate (also known as a prorate plate) and IFTA is needed. New IRP accounts are opened by appointment at the Bismarck branch.

"Apportionable Vehicle" means (except as provided below) any Power Unit that is used or intended for use in two or more Member Jurisdictions and that is used for the transportation of persons for hire or designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of property, and:

1. has two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle

3

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 gross vehicle weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds.

Exceptions/Exempt Vehicles A Recreational Vehicle, a vehicle displaying Restricted Plates or a government-owned vehicle, is not an Apportionable Vehicle; except that a Power Unit, or the Power Unit in a combination of vehicles having a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds, or less, nevertheless may be registered under the Plan at the option of the Registrant.

Temporary Registrations/Trip Permits If you are only going to leave the state of North Dakota minimally, it may be beneficial to research trip and fuel permits instead of enrolling into the IRP and IFTA programs. You would need to contact each jurisdiction you would travel into for details.

Unladen Vehicle Registration Operators who require a temporary registration to move their apportionable unladen vehicle may obtain an Unladen Permit for a $30 fee. The permit is valid for up to 14 days.

Oversize/Overweight Nondivisible oversize and overweight vehicles and load movements that exceed legal size and weight as provided in North Dakota law must obtain an oversize and/or overweight single trip permit. The permit must be in possession prior to movement on the North Dakota state/interstate system. A permit can be obtained by clicking on E-Permits at ndhp or by calling (701) 328-2621.

The NDHP Automated Permit Routing System can issue most single trip permits in real time 24/7. The permit fee ranges from $20 to $100 and is valid for 3 days. The routing service fee is $10.

Reciprocity Agreements

North Dakota has entered into the agreements below with our bordering states. These agreements could be rescinded by either party with 30 days notice.

Check with the jurisdiction you are travelling into to determine if any permits or other credentials are needed prior to entering the jurisdiction.

South Dakota North Dakota vehicles may be exempt from the IRP requirements while travelling into South Dakota no further than north of US Highway 12 on the east side of the Missouri River and north of SD Highway 20 on the west side of the Missouri River.

The purpose of this reciprocity agreement is to promote the north-south movement of vehicles only. A vehicle shall enter either state and proceed from the point nearest the destination and return in a like manner. This agreement does not permit you to traverse the length of a state within the free zone.

This agreement does not exempt you from fuel permits or IFTA unless you are a farmer/rancher operating a farm vehicle hauling your own farm products, supplies, or equipment into the free zone.

Minnesota North Dakota vehicles may be exempt from the IRP and IFTA requirements while travelling within 20 miles of the Minnesota ? North Dakota boundary line.

North Dakota farm plated vehicles may be exempt when travelling into Minnesota west of a line drawn north to south from MN Highway 72 to US Highway 71 to Cass Lake, then south on MN Highway 371 to Little Falls, then south on US Highway 10 to St. Cloud, then south on MN Highway 15 to the Minnesota ? Iowa border.
