Multijurisdictional Permit Agreement
[29 Pa.B. 3422] Notice is hereby given by the Department of Transportation, under the authority contained in Section 6146.1 of the Vehicle Code, Act of June 17, 1976, P. L. 162, No. 81, as amended by the Act of April 29, 1994, P. L. 148, No. 28 (75 Pa.C.S. § 6146.1), that the Department, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Northeast Association of State Transportation Officials (NASTO) and has thereby joined as a participating member of the NASTO system for regional overweight and oversize trip permits for vehicles with nondivisible loads. The MOU was adopted by the NASTO Highway Transport Committee on January 28, 1993, and was amended on October 16, 1996. The participating NASTO States who have executed the MOU have agreed to consider proposals, beginning on January 4, 1999, from permit services. Permit services that the participating NASTO States have authorized may then apply for and compile NASTO multijurisdictional permits and amendments (i.e., supplements). This authorization process is expected to last approximately sixty days before the Department will issue any permits under terms of the NASTO MOU. However, the Department will issue no multijurisdictional permit until this notice is published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
The NASTO MOU establishes a formal agreement for processing permit applications for oversize or overweight combinations with nondivisible loads among participating jurisdictions within the NASTO region that propose to cross participating state borders. The MOU also establishes conditions of movement under the permit. Other states, provinces and jurisdictions within the NASTO region that have executed or will execute the MOU by November 1999, include Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Ontario. States, provinces and jurisdictions within the NASTO region that have not yet agreed to execute the MOU include Connecticut, Puerto Rico, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. New York City and Washington, D.C. are exploring the possibility of executing the MOU. The states of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine have executed the MOU but they have not yet decided whether or when they will abandon their long-existing New England Transportation Consortium (NETC) agreement for issuing oversize/overweight permits for multi-state movements.
In accordance with Section 6146.1(b) of the Vehicle Code, the MOU executed by the Secretary of Transportation has been drafted to be in the best interest of this Commonwealth and its citizens. The MOU is fair and equitable to this Commonwealth and its citizens. The MOU will benefit the economy of this Commonwealth by facilitating the uninterrupted flow of commerce, and will continue to preserve the safety of the motoring public, the orderly movement of traffic and the structural integrity of the highways.
Section 6146.1(c) of the Vehicle Code provides for enforcement of the provisions of the executed MOU and the multijurisdictional permit. Multijurisdictional permits will be enforced in Pennsylvania in the same manner as any other oversize or overweight permits issued under authority of Chapter 49 of the Vehicle Code and Chapter 179 of Department Regulations (67 Pa. Code, Chapter 179). Relevant rules contained in the MOU and its appendices are in addition to current Federal and State laws and regulations governing the movement of oversize or overweight vehicles, combinations and loads.
Section 6146.1 (d) of the Vehicle Code requires that, to implement this law and the provisions of a multijurisdictional permit agreement, the Secretary shall publish the agreement and relevant rules as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Accordingly, a copy of the MOU executed by the Department and relevant rules are included in this notice. The Department will also post a copy of the current MOU and relevant rules on the Internet at the following Department address: www.dot.state.pa.us. The MOU can then be viewed at this site by clicking on ''Roads and Highways,'' then ''Permits,'' then ''Hauling Permits,'' then ''NASTO.''
Under this MOU, an authorized permit service must submit an application for a NASTO Multijurisdictional permit. In Pennsylvania, the permit service must apply via the Internet. The permit service may submit an application for a motor carrier having a combination with sizes and weights that do not exceed the envelope vehicle limitations contained in Appendix A of the MOU. Currently, the NASTO envelope vehicle has the following maximum limits: 90 feet in length, 14 feet in width, 14 feet, six inches in width at the roof eave of a manufactured housing unit, 13 feet, six inches in height, 3 foot front load overhang, 108,000 pounds gross weight on a five-axle combination, 120,000 pounds gross weight on a combination with six or more axles, 6,000 to 12,000 pounds on a steering axle, 25,000 pounds on any other single axle, 25,000 pounds on each axle in a two-tandem axle group (commonly called tandem axles), 20,000 pounds on each axle in a three-tandem axle group (commonly called tridem axles), 600 pounds per inch of nominal tire width or the tire manufacturer's ratings, whichever is less, and at least four tires on all nonsteering axles. In addition, retractable or variable load suspension axles may not be counted as axles nor will they be considered capable of carrying any load. Only a nondivisible load being hauled on a combination will qualify for a NASTO multijurisdictional permit.
Appendix B of the MOU will be used by participating jurisdictions as a member jurisdiction point-of-contact list in the future. Appendix B will contain no relevant rules and, therefore, does not need to be published as a notice when NASTO develops it.
Combinations operating under authority of a multijurisdictional permit will be subject to both the common safety standards contained in Appendix C of the MOU and 67 Pa. Code, Chapter 179. Additionally, Department Form M-938 shall be in the driver's possession along with the multijurisdictional permit when operating a permitted vehicle along Pennsylvania State highways. Department Form M-938 is a document that includes Sections 179.10 and 179.11 from 67 Pa. Code, Chapter 179 and a map that governs authorized travel periods within urbanized areas designated on the map. It is important that the driver know and comply with this information to promote safe movement.
Under this MOU, multijurisdictional permits will be submitted only by permit services who have executed an agent agreement and form identified in Appendix D and Appendix D-1 of the MOU. Once each participating jurisdiction issues their permit, the authorized permit service will compile these permits on a permit form identified in Appendix D-2 of the MOU. These permit services will also be authorized to compile amendments (or supplements) to the multijurisdictional permits on an amendment form identified in Appendix D-3 of the MOU, after the request is approved by each participating jurisdiction.
It is anticipated that the NASTO MOU will be amended as participating jurisdictions gain experience in administering the provisions of the MOU. The Department intends to publish future notices as relevant rules are modified by the participating NASTO jurisdictions.
Questions, comments, or suggestions may be forwarded to Mr. Walter Knerr, Permit Manager, P. O. Box 8210, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8210, (717) 783-6473.

Date1.0 INTRODUCTION
Governmental agencies and the trucking industry in the United States and Canada have recognized the need for uniformity and simplification of procedures for the regulation, registration, taxation or permitting of trucks involved in interstate, inter-provincial or international travel. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) have identified the issuance of overweight and over-dimensional one way, single trip permits for vehicles carrying nondivisible loads in interstate travel as a matter of high priority for improvement through the development of procedures for the issuance of permits on a regional basis. All of the regional organizations of AASHTO, including the Northeastern Association of State Transportation Officials (NASTO) have developed or are developing such procedures.
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) sets forth the procedures and applicability of the regional permitting arrangement developed by the northeastern states and adjacent provinces through the NASTO Highway Transport Committee.
2.0 PURPOSE, SCOPE AND GOAL/OBJECTIVE OF THIS MOU
2.1 Purpose
The purpose of this MOU is to provide for the issuance and processing of one way, single trip overweight and over-dimensional permits for Envelope Vehicles with Nondivisible Loads engaged in interstate, inter-provincial or international travel on designated routes in or between the northeast states and/or adjacent provinces.
2.2 Scope
This MOU applies only to the issuance of one way, single trip permits for vehicles with Nondivisible Loads that are within the limits of the Envelope Vehicle, as defined herein, on the network of highways designated or approved for such travel by the jurisdictions that are parties to this MOU.
2.3 Goal/Objective
The longer term goal of the jurisdictions entering into this MOU is the implementation of a formal agreement for the issuance of NASTO regional trip permits on an ISSUING JURISDICTION basis, as defined herein, after the future development of required common procedures and supporting systems as described in Article 5.0. The immediate objective of this MOU is to provide an interim alternative method for issuance of permits authorizing trips through several jurisdictions on a timely basis, and to utilize a common set of safety standards for permitted travel in all Participant Jurisdictions.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
The definitions below are in relation to the use of these terms in connection with this MOU, including those required in the future for the issuance of permits on an ''Issuing Jurisdiction'' basis, as described in Article 5.0.
3.1 Access Highway(s)--Highways connecting the points of origin and destination for nondivisible oversize or overweight loads with the regional highway network, within the boundaries of a participant jurisdiction.
3.2 Axle--The common axis of rotation of two or more wheels extending the full width of the vehicle, whether power driven or freely rotating, and whether in one or more segments, and regardless of the number of wheels carried thereon.
3.3 Envelope Vehicle--A combination vehicle with specific limits as to length, height, width, gross weight, axle spacing, axle weight, and tire load. The limits for the NASTO envelope vehicle are established based on the maximum limits that can be routinely permitted in all of the Participant Jurisdictions. The NASTO envelope vehicle applicable to this MOU is described in APPENDIX A, following hereto.
3.4 Gross Weight--The weight of any vehicle without load, plus the weight of any load thereon.
3.5 Height--The total vertical dimension of any vehicle above the ground surface including any load or load-holding device thereon.
3.6 Issuing Jurisdiction--The one jurisdiction that will approve and issue, and collect all applicable fees for a NASTO regional trip permit for a vehicle within the limitations of the Envelope Vehicle with a nondivisible load, on behalf of all jurisdictions included in the routing for the permit. (NOTE-The issuance of NASTO regional permits on an issuing jurisdiction basis is a longer term goal of this MOU as described in Article 5.0 Future Development).
3.7 Length--The total longitudinal dimension of any vehicle, including any load or load-holding devices thereon.
3.8 Nondivisible load--Any vehicle, or any load with carrying vehicle heavier, longer or wider than the legal limit, that cannot be separated into two or more lighter or smaller components without destroying the value of the shipment. A containerized load is considered nondivisible only if the content of the container is identified, is separately indivisible and cannot be separated into two or more lighter or smaller components without destroying the value of the shipment.
3.8A Overhang--Overhang means the distance from the front/rear of the vehicle or combination vehicle exclusive of load, to the frontmost or rearmost part of the load.
3.9 Participant jurisdictions--States, Provinces, or other authorities that have signed this MOU.
3.10 Permittee--Any person(s), company, corporation or legal entity responsible for the movement of any oversize or overweight vehicle or load in accordance with the provisions of this MOU.
3.11 Regional Highway Network--Routes selected and approved by each participant jurisdiction over which envelope vehicles are permitted to travel in accordance with the provisions of this MOU.
3.12 Single Axle--An axle with two or more wheels, whose centers are in one transverse plane, which is not a steering axle.
3.13 Steering Axle--The axle or axles of a combination of vehicles which is guided or steered.
3.14 Tandem Axles--Any two consecutive axles, excluding retractable or variable load suspension axles, whose centers are at least 48 inches, but not more than 96 inches apart, and are individually attached to and/or articulated from a common attachment to the vehicle including a connection mechanism designed to equalize the load between axles.
3.15 Tridem Axles--Any three consecutive axles, excluding retractable or variable load suspension axles, whose extreme centers are not more than 144 inches apart, with individual centers at least 48 inches apart, and are individually attached to a common attachment to the vehicle including a connecting mechanism designed to equalize the load among axles.
3.16 Retractable or variable load suspension axles - Axles which can be regulated by the driver of the vehicle. These axles are controlled by hydraulic and air suspension systems, mechanically, or by a combination of these methods.
3.17 Width--The total outside transverse dimension of a vehicle including any load or load-holding devices thereon, excluding approved safety devices and tire bulge due to load.
4.0 PERMITTING PROCEDURES
4.1 Interim procedures
As an interim method for providing NASTO Regional trip permits covered by this MOU, each Participant Jurisdiction will accept permit applications in accordance with their procedures. Each Participant Jurisdiction will continue to approve and issue permits and to enforce its laws and regulations governing all permitted movements within its boundaries, and to collect permit fees directly from the permittee or FAX companies/permit agents in accordance with currently existing procedures. Therefore, each Participant Jurisdiction will continue to receive revenues for permitted travel within its boundaries on the same basis that existed prior to this MOU.
4.2 Timeliness of permit issuance
Participant Jurisdictions agree that four (4) hours is a reasonable turnaround time for permits issued pursuant to this MOU and will use their best efforts to approve permit applications within that time frame, from the time a request is received, subject to the normal days and hours of operation of the issuing jurisdiction.
4.3 Permits for routes on turnpikes, toll roads or bridges, local highways, and roads and streets or other facilities not under the authority of the Participant Jurisdictions
If a particular trip permit requires the use of a turnpike, toll road, bridge, tunnel or local highways, roads and streets or other facilities not under the authority of the Participant Jurisdiction, the permittee, or his agent must obtain those permits as may be required, in the same manner as under previously existing procedures.
4.4 Establishment and collection of permit fees
Each Participant Jurisdiction will continue to establish and collect its own fees.
4.5 Common safety standards
Safety standards related to the issuance of truck permits are set forth in Appendix C.
4.6 Notifications
If notifications are to be made to or from Participant Jurisdictions for any matters related to the issuance of permits, such notifications will be made by letter, facsimile transmission (FAX), telephone call, or other accepted method of communication to the person designated by each Participant Jurisdiction for that purpose as set forth in Appendix B, attached hereto and made a part hereof. Changes in the names of the designated officials or other information on Appendix B will be forwarded to the official designated for the Delaware Department of Transportation for distribution to all other Participant Jurisdictions.
5.0 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The Participant Jurisdiction will continue to cooperate in the designation of a Regional Highway Network and in the development of common procedures and supporting systems required for the issuance of trip permits on an Issuing Jurisdiction basis, as defined herein.
5.1 Designation of Regional Highway Route Network
Participant Jurisdictions will identify the highways within their boundaries over which Envelope Vehicles will be permitted to travel in accordance with a future regional permitting agreement.
A NASTO Regional Highway Network map (NOOPA Form 2), excluding access routes, will be developed and included in a future regional permitting agreement. An appendix to that agreement will identify and describe current restrictions and conditions that are in place on the regional network, as of its effective date. Each time a temporary restriction must be put into effect, or to remove a restriction from the map, or to amend the identified routes and/or the restrictions or limitations thereon, the designated officials for the applicable Participant Jurisdiction will notify all other Participant Jurisdictions as quickly as possible of that change, by forwarding such information in writing, or by facsimile transmission, to the officials designated by each of the other Participant Jurisdictions to be identified in an appendix to a future regional permitting agreement.
5.2 Common procedures and supporting systems required for issuance of permits on an Issuing Jurisdiction basis:
* continued use of the uniform permit form acceptable to all Participant Jurisdictions (NOOPA Form 1);
* establishment of a Regional Highway Route network over which any Participant Jurisdiction may issue permits;
* establishment of a permit amendment procedure;
* communication systems for advising all other Participant Jurisdictions of highway construction work zone limitations or detours on a current basis;
* computerized systems for permit routing and accounting for permit fees collected on behalf of other jurisdictions;
* notification on a timely basis to applicant and to all affected Participant Jurisdictions of permits approved by an Issuing Jurisdiction for travel within their boundaries;
* timely settlement or exchanges of permit fees collected including documentation for audit verification by comparison to listings of permits issued;
* development of a manual of administrative or operating standards and procedures, including days and hours of operations, arrangements for holidays, permit office locations and telephone numbers;
* accommodation of individual jurisdiction requirements;
* consideration of legal liability issues and development of model legislation as may be required by the individual Participant Jurisdictions;
* consideration of standardized enforcement policies;
* establishment of a governing body to resolve administrative matters.
6.0 PROCEDURES FOR ENTERING INTO OR WITHDRAWAL FROM THIS MOU
A jurisdiction desiring to become a participant in this MOU may make arrangements through the chairperson of the NASTO Highway Transport Committee to affix the signature of its chief administrative officer, or other properly authorized official to the original signed copy of this MOU which is on file with the Committee.
A jurisdiction may withdraw as a participant in this MOU by giving at least three months advance notice to all other Participant Jurisdictions. However, withdrawal by one jurisdiction will not invalidate this MOU for the other participants.
7.0 CHANGES TO APPENDICES
Recognizing that safety rules and regulations and the detailed description of the Envelope Vehicle along with any required appurtenances may alter as innovations occur or experience dictates, it is agreed that changes in the appendices will be permitted without the need to amend this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) under the following two conditions:
1) The designated official for each participating jurisdiction on the NASTO Highway Transport Committee for those jurisdictions who have signed the MOU shall be authorized to approve changes to the appendices of this document without requiring any additional approvals.
2) To protect each jurisdiction, any changes made to the appendices must be by unanimous consent of the designated officials for jurisdictions participating in the MOU.
APPENDIX C
COMMON SAFETY STANDARDS
C.1 INTRODUCTION
Participating NASTO states and provinces have adopted the following common safety standards for use by permittees when in transit within their respective jurisdictions.
The safety standards have been adapted from the ''Guide for Maximum Dimensions and Weights of Motor Vehicles and for the Operation of Nondivisible Load Oversize and Overweight Vehicles'' prepared by the Subcommittee on Highway Transport and officially adopted by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (Revised November 1991). To help cross reference AASHTO's publication, AASHTO's numbering system is included parenthetically.
C.2 DAYS AND HOURS OF OPERATION (AASHTO 3.05)
Permitted vehicles may move Monday through Friday, from sunrise to sunset, unless otherwise authorized or prohibited by this section or the permit.
Individual jurisdictions may authorize overweight vehicles that are not overdimensional to move within their jurisdiction between sunset and sunrise if the overweight vehicle can flow with traffic.
Individual jurisdictions may authorize permitted vehicles to move within their jurisdiction at other times, subject to permit requirements.
Individual jurisdictions may authorize permitted vehicles to move within their jurisdiction an additional thirty (30) minutes before sunrise and/or after sunset.
In designated congested areas, individual jurisdictions may prohibit permitted vehicles from moving during AM and/or PM commuter travel periods; and/or authorize permitted vehicles to move during designated times between sunset and sunrise, subject to special lighting requirements identified in section C.8
Due to the amount of highway traffic on holidays, vehicles and loads requiring oversize and/or overweight permits shall be prohibited from traveling on those days. Prohibited holidays include New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas. Movement of such vehicles and loads may also be prohibited on any other days or hours when such movements may substantially affect the safety or the motoring public.
C.3 INCLEMENT WEATHER (AASHTO 3.06)
No movement shall be permitted when road conditions, weather conditions, or visibility make traveling hazardous to the operator or the driving public. If a permitted vehicle is underway when such conditions occur, the driver shall be required to proceed to a safe place off the roadway and park until conditions warrant safe travel.
C.4 SPEED LIMITS (AASHTO 3.07)
Vehicles and loads requiring permits may travel at the posted maximum speed limits unless specifically prohibited by the permit.
C.5 ROUTING (AASHTO 3.08)
The permit shall authorize movement only on the pavement portion of those highways specified in the permit which are on the jurisdictions' highway systems. The permit does not authorize movement upon shoulders.
Vehicles and loads requiring permits should be routed around highway construction and maintenance projects and shall be routed around certain bridges or roadways in a way that creates the least hazard and inconvenience to both the mover and the public.
The permit is only for the route designated. Individual jurisdictions' rules/regulations govern movement off the permitted route.
Each jurisdiction in conjunction with its bordering jurisdictions may work to establish mutually acceptable connecting routes.
Every effort should be made to use the most suitable road network which is closest to a straight line projected between the point of origin and final designation of the load. Only one international crossing shall be authorized unless agreed to by all affected jurisdictions.
C.6 ESCORTS (AASHTO 3.10)
Escort vehicles shall be a single unit nonpermitted vehicle, no smaller than a compact car. The escort vehicle shall not be attached to any other vehicle.
Escort vehicle(s) shall escort only one oversize vehicle or load. Jurisdictions may require more restrictive conditions on high volume highways or when the lane width is less than twelve (12) feet.
One escort vehicle is required for vehicles and loads more than twelve (12) feet in width. The escort vehicle shall be behind an overwidth vehicle or load on a multi-lane highway, and in front of an overwidth vehicle or load on a two-lane highway.
Envelope Vehicles and loads eighty (80) feet or more in overall length are required to have one (1) rear escort vehicle on two lane highways.
Envelope Vehicles and loads with fifteen (15) feet or greater rear overhang shall have one (1) rear escort regardless of road type.
Two (2) escort vehicles, one (1) in front and one (1) behind the oversize vehicle are required when previous paragraphs separately require one (1) escort in the front and one (1) behind for multiple conditions.
Vehicles and loads that are only overweight or are twelve (12) feet or less in width and that cannot move freely with the flow of traffic may be subject to escort requirements.
Escort Vehicles shall have visual contact with the permitted vehicle and have two-way radio communication with the driver of the permitted vehicle.
C.7 WARNING FLAGS (AASHTO 3.11)
Required warning flags shall be in evidence during daylight hours. Red or orange fluorescent warning flags shall be at least eighteen (18) inches square. Flags shall be securely fastened to the vehicle or load by at least one corner of the flag or securely mounted on a staff.
Warning flags are required on vehicles and loads which exceed legal width. These vehicles and loads are required to bear flags at the extremities of the vehicle or load as shown in Figure C-1.
Flags are also required on vehicles and loads which exceed legal length or which have a rear overhang in excess of four (4) feet. There shall be a single flag at the extreme rear if the overlength or projecting portion is two (2) feet wide or less. Two (2) flags are required if the overlength or projecting portion is wider than two (2) feet and shall be located to indicate maximum width. (See Figure C-2)
C.8 WARNING LIGHTS (AASHTO 3.12)
General Lighting Requirements
(i) Load hauling vehicles and escort vehicles shall travel with low beam headlights on at all times.
(ii) Load hauling vehicles may be required to display a flashing 360 degree yellow (amber) light at an elevation above the highest point of the vehicle. A second flashing 360 degree light may be required at the rear of the load if the load obstructs the visibility of the 360 degree light on the load hauling vehicle. The 360 degree light shall be visible in all directions from a distance of 1,000 feet during daylight hours with a flash rate of 60 to 90 flashes per minute (FPM). The 360 degree light lens shall be at least 4 inches high whose minimum width or diameter at that height is 4 3/4 inches.
(iii) Warning lights for escort vehicles shall be located on the roof of the vehicle perpendicular to the length of the escort vehicle. The warning light bar shall be a minimum of 43 inches and a maximum of 52 inches long, a minimum of 10 inches and a maximum of 13 inches wide, and a minimum of 4 inches with a maximum of 8 inches high, consisting of flashing or strobe lights. Each warning light bar shall consist of a minimum of four lights. If flashing lights are used, they shall consist of at least two 95 and two 150 minimum FPM rotators; mirrors shall be placed diagonally between lights (mirrors to be reflective on both sides). All lights shall be visible on a 360 degree basis from the vehicle for a distance of 1,000 feet and arranged with at least two lights in each end of the bar light. The dome cover color shall be amber. New Jersey requires that the bar light not be illuminated while in New Jersey.
(iv) Whenever the rear running lights, stop lights, turn signals, or hazard warning lights are obstructed by the load on a vehicle, lighting equipment shall be displayed on the rear of the load equivalent to the obstructed lights or signals.
Load Warning Lights
Warning lights shall be used for authorized night operations as shown in Figures C-3 and C-4.
(i) For overwidth loads uniform in width, place am- ber lights on the forward corners of the load and red lights on the rear corners of the load as shown in Figure C-3.
(ii) If the load is overwidth for its entire length with a wider portion near the middle of the load, place red and amber lights at the rear and front corners of the load,respectively, with amber lights on the sides at the extreme limits of the load as shown in Figure C-3.
(iii) If the load is nonuniform in width, place red and amber lights at the rear and front corners, respectively of the overwidth portion as shown in Figure C-3.
(iv) For loads of legal width that are overlength with a rear overhang exceeding four (4) feet, place four red lights on the rear and sides of the overhanging portion of the load. Amber lights are required at least every 6 feet on both sides of the overhang as shown in Figure C-4.
