Memorandum of Understanding Between the United States and Canada Relating to the Recognition of Motor Carrier Safety and Compliance Reviews by the United States and Facility Audits by Canada

概要

The Secretary of Transportation for the United States and the Minister of Transport for Canada signed an agreement at the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Transportation Summit on April 29, 1994, which allows for the reciprocal recognition of safety ratings resulting from motor carrier compliance reviews conducted by the United States and facility audits conducted by Canadian Provinces. As each Province enters into this agreement, notification will be published in the Federal Register. The terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will not restrict U.S. or Canadian officials from performing investigations, facility audits, or safety and compliance reviews of a motor carrier in the other country when such investigation or review is deemed necessary.
