Title Source: Supreme Court: LTFRB Unit Confirmation Rule

Law: Ltfrb Memorandum Circular No. 2001-007

Decision Date: Feb 21, 2001

Public utility vehicle operators must confirm their units with the LTFRB before registering with the Land Transportation Office to prevent unauthorized registrations and ensure compliance with transport regulations.

Law Summary

Issue Addressed by the Circular

Some operators have intentionally evaded the confirmation process, registering units directly with the LTO.
This practice undermines LTFRB and Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) transport plans and programs.
It results in the proliferation of unauthorized "colorum" vehicles, causing regulatory chaos and inefficiencies.

Enforcement and Compliance Measures

The Circular enjoins all public utility operators to strictly adhere to the confirmation requirement before registration.
Failure to comply will subject the operator to penalties following due process, including proper notice and hearing.
Penalties will be imposed if evidence substantiates the violation of this confirmation mandate.

Supersession and Modification of Inconsistent Issuances

Any previous issuances or parts thereof that conflict with this Circular are considered modified or superseded to align with the new directive.

Effective Date and Administrative Formalities

The Circular takes effect fifteen (15) days after the filing of three copies with the University of the Philippines Law Center as mandated by Presidential Memorandum Circular No. 11 dated 09 October 1992.

Signatories

The Circular is signed by the LTFRB Chairman and Board Members, reflecting official approval and adoption of the directive.
