(1) Assume any records that belong to the driver under the driver's account;  or

(2) Indicate that the records are not attributable to the driver.

(c) Motor carrier.

(1) A motor carrier must ensure that records of unidentified driving are reviewed and must:

(i) Annotate the record, explaining why the time is unassigned;  or

(ii) Assign the record to the appropriate driver to correctly reflect the driver's hours of service.

(2) A motor carrier must retain unidentified driving records for each ELD for a minimum of 6 months from the date of receipt.
