UCR Non-Participating States
Also known as: Non-Participating States

Definition
UCR non-participating states are the states that have not joined the UCR Agreement and do not collect UCR fees themselves - Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia. Carriers based in these states are still federally required to file UCR; they simply select the nearest participating state as their base state. Being based in a non-participating state never exempts a carrier from UCR. The 41 participating states share the revenue, and the fee is identical in every state, so the choice of base state does not change the amount owed.
