Employer clearinghouse registrations must include: • Name, address and telephone number; • USDOT number; if the registrant does not have a USDOT number, he/she may be requested to provide other information to verify identity; and • Name of the person(s) the employer authorizes to report information to or obtain information from the clearinghouse and any additional information FMCSA needs to validate his or her identity. Employers must also verify the names annually for those authorized person(s) to report or obtain information from the clearinghouse, and the identification and authorization of the Consortium/Third Party Administrator (C/TPA) or other service agent used to query or report information to the clearinghouse or comply with the requirements of part 382. Employers are required to update any changes to this information within 10 days. In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a), a driver must grant consent before an employer can request access to that driver’s clearinghouse record and before FMCSA can release the driver’s clearinghouse record to an employer. The final rule also requires that FMCSA must notify a driver when information concerning that driver has been added to, revised or removed from the clearinghouse, or when information concerning that driver has been released from the clearinghouse to an employer and specify the reason for the release. Drivers will be notified by letter sent by U.S. Mail to the address on record with the State Driver Licensing Agency that issued the driver’s commercial driver’s license. However, a driver may provide the clearinghouse with an alternative means or address for notification, including e-mail. After registering with the clearinghouse a driver can review his or her information at no cost.
