The DOT has Issued a final rule on Monday that implements the authority of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to assess for violation of the Clearinghouse, at 49 CFR part 382 subpart G of the Code of Federal Regulations.

“ Any employer, employee, medical review office, or service agent who violates ANY provision of 49 CFR, Part 382, Subpart G.. is subject t a civil penalty not to exceed $5,833.”

One example of a violation of a Clearinghouse provision would be an employer accessing a driver’s record from the database without getting the proper written or electric consent from the driver.
