This program links Federal Motor Carrier Safety information systems with State commercial vehicle registration systems and enables a State to (1) determine the safety fitness of a motor carrier or registrant when applying for registration or while the registration is in effect; and (2) deny, suspend, or revoke the registration of a motor carrier or registrant that has been issued an Out-of-Service (OOS) order by the FMCSA. The PRISM grant program has been consolidated into the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) and High Priority grant programs due to changes in FMCSA’s authorization under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. No. § 114-94, §§ 5101(a) and 5101(c) (2015), 49 U.S.C. §§ 31102(a)-(k), 31104 (2016), as amended). Awards are no longer being made under this CFDA; however, pre-existing grants will remain active until project completion and/or period of performance on the individual grant agreements expire. For more information on these changes, visit FMCSA CFDA number 20.218.
