The statement, " a record of your payment may be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles of your State ".

Because of the language " can be ", can I conclude this to be a possibility, not the norm?
A nolo contendere plea provides the charges cannot be used against defendant in another cause of action. Do these rules apply to the Department of Transportation in Michigan? All questions steming from a Federal DUI.
I think you've asked this question earlier.
The answer is yes, a driving offense can and will probably be reported to your home state, regardless of where the offense happens. For example, if I drive to Chicago over the weekend and run a traffic light, Chicago will want a piece of me, and eventually this may show on my Michigan driver's record, especially if I don't fight the ticket, and decide to just pay it. It may also depend on the severity of the charge, and what my prior record happens to be.
A nolo plea protects you from having statements you make, in offering your plea (if it were a guilty plea), used against you in a civil lawsuit for damages. A nolo plea is still a conviction, and unless there is something in the federal law that I am not aware of that makes it otherwise, the conviction will presumably be reported to the Michigan Secretary of State, if your license is from Michigan.

I would suggest it is the norm to report traffic violations to Secretary of State in Michigan and home states. The only "may" I see would be few and far between.
