(3) motor carrier number, United States Department of Transportation number, or any other identifying number authorized by the department.
The person engaged in public transportation shall provide a signature to affirm under penalties of perjury that the information provided to the retail merchant is correct and that the tangible personal property is being purchased for an exempt purpose.
