Which entity enforces the requirements of the MCS-90 endorsement?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the entity responsible for enforcing the requirements of the MCS-90 endorsement. This endorsement is a provision that provides public liability insurance and is part of the insurance policies required for certain motor carriers operating in interstate commerce. The FMCSA oversees regulations related to commercial vehicle safety and insurance requirements, ensuring that carriers comply with federal laws designed to protect the public and ensure safe operations.

The other entities, while involved in various aspects of transportation and safety, do not have the same authority over the enforcement of the MCS-90 endorsement as the FMCSA does. The State Department may deal with broader transportation issues, the Department of Insurance generally focuses on insurance regulations at the state level, and the National Safety Council is more focused on safety advocacy and training rather than enforcement of federal regulations.
