本条款确立了美国联邦机动车安全管理局（FMCSA）对跨境陆运合规文档电子化的认可标准。规定在49 CFR第300-399部分要求保留、生成或交换的文档，均可采用电子方式满足合规要求，包括使用符合定义的电子签名。核心前提是电子记录必须能准确反映信息、具备可留存性、可被授权方准确重现，且需包含用户同意使用电子记录的证明。该规则旨在简化纸质档案负担，但强调电子数据的完整性与可追溯性，适用于所有受FMCSA监管的陆运实体。
- (a) Applicability. This section applies to documents that entities or individuals are required to retain, regardless of whether FMCSA subsequently requires them to be produced or displayed to FMCSA staff or other parties entitled to access. This section does not apply to documents that must be submitted directly to FMCSA.
- (b) Electronic records or documents. Any person or entity required to generate, maintain, or exchange documents to satisfy requirements in chapter III of subtitle B of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR 300-399) may use electronic methods to satisfy those requirements.
- (c) Electronic signatures. (1) Any person or entity required to sign or certify a document to satisfy the requirements of chapter III of subtitle B of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR parts 300-399) may use an electronic signature, as defined in § 390.5T of this part.
- (2) An electronic signature may be made using any available technology that otherwise satisfies FMCSA's requirements.
- (d) Requirements. Any person or entity may use documents signed, certified, generated, maintained, or exchanged using electronic methods if the documents accurately reflect the information otherwise required to be contained in them. Records, documents or signatures generated, maintained, or exchanged using electronic methods do not satisfy the requirements of this section if they are not capable of being retained, are not used for the purpose for which they were created, or cannot be accurately reproduced within required timeframes for reference by any party entitled to access. Records or documents generated electronically do not satisfy the requirements of this section if they do not include proof of consent to use electronically generated records or documents, as required by 15 U.S.C. 7001(c).
