FHWA proposes to rescind the regulations issued on February 27, 2004, Federal Lands Highway Program; Management Systems Pertaining to the Forest Service and the Forest Highway Program.
FMCSA proposes to revise the requirements for tires on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to clarify that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) do not require tire load restriction markings on their sidewalls. This change would eliminate confusion and clarify the scope of FMCSA's authority regarding the requirements for tires in the FMCSRs.
FMCSA proposes to provide an exception from the lamp and reflective device requirements for license plate lamps on the rear of truck tractors while towing a trailer. This proposed change would remove an unnecessary regulatory requirement without impacting safety.
FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to revise the term "medical treatment" for the purpose of accident reporting to incorporate revised regulatory guidance issued by the Agency regarding medical treatment away from the accident scene.
FMCSA proposes to add an exception to the prohibition on gravity and syphon feeds for auxiliary pumps with a fuel tank capacity of less than 5 gallons mounted on the trailer chassis frame or trailer bed, for purposes other than operation of the motor vehicle, that are operational only when the motor vehicle is not in motion. This proposal is in response to a petition for rulemaking from the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA). The proposed change would provide relief from a regulatory requirement without impacting safety.
FMCSA proposes to add an exception for portable conveyors used in aggregate industry operations, and manufactured before 2010, from the requirements that each commercial motor vehicle (CMV) be equipped with brakes acting on all wheels, provided certain conditions are satisfied. This proposal is in response to a petition for rulemaking from the Michigan Aggregates Association (MAA). The proposed change would provide relief from a regulatory requirement for certain portable conveyors without impacting safety.
FHWA proposes to rescind the regulations issued on February 27, 2004, Federal Lands Highway Program; Management Systems Pertaining to the National Park Service and the Park Roads and Parkways Program.
FHWA is proposing to rescind the rule and certain regulations issued on October 2, 1987, Required Contract Provisions.
FMCSA proposes to remove all obsolete references to "water carriers" in the FMCSA regulations (FMCSRs). FMCSA does not specifically regulate water carriers except to the extent that such carriers also engage in motor carrier operations. In such cases, the existing FMCSRs provide appropriate coverage of the carrier's motor carrier operations.
FHWA withdraws its February 21, 2024, notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to update FHWA's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) regulations. FHWA will proceed to formally withdraw the proposed rule from FHWA's upcoming Spring 2025 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions ("Unified Agenda").
This final rule rescinds the requirements pertaining to the performance targets established by State departments of transportation (State DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) for the first performance period (Calendar Years 2018 through 2021), as originally promulgated in the regulations issued on January 18, 2017, National Performance Management Measures; Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Freight Movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program.
FHWA proposes to rescind the regulations issued on February 27, 2004, Federal Lands Highway Program; Management Systems Pertaining to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Reservation Roads Program.
FHWA proposes to rescind the regulations issued on February 27, 2004, Federal Lands Highway Program; Management Systems Pertaining to the Fish and Wildlife and the Refuge Roads Program.
FHWA proposes to rescind the regulations issued regarding the Forest Highway Program.
FHWA is proposing to rescind the rule and regulations issued on September 30, 1974, Federal-Aid Contracts (Appalachian Contracts).
FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations (FMCSRs) to allow dual-status military technicians to qualify for the exception for certain military personnel from commercial driver license (CDL) standards. This rulemaking responds to a petition for rulemaking submitted by James D. Welch.
FMCSA proposes to remove the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) that a liquid fuel tank manufactured on or after January 1, 1973, be designed and constructed so that it cannot be filled, in a normal filling operation, with a quantity of fuel that exceeds 95 percent of the tank's liquid capacity. This proposal is in response to a petition for rulemaking from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA). The proposed change would remove an unnecessary and outdated requirement from the FMCSRs.
FMCSA proposes to revise the requirement that motor carriers and intermodal equipment providers sign and return a completed roadside inspection form to the issuing State agency. FMCSA is aware that not all issuing State agencies require the return of these reports, and that requiring motor carriers and intermodal equipment providers to submit these reports to a State that does not require, or even request, the return of the form, creates an unnecessary burden. Through this proposed change, completed forms will only be returned to those States that request them. This action is in response to a petition for rulemaking from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA).
FMCSA proposes to clarify the requirement to complete a Daily Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR), based upon a public comment filed by the National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC). The DVIR may already be completed electronically, however this NPRM proposes explicit language to make this clear. This will encourage motor carriers and drivers to utilize electronic, cost-saving methods when completing DVIRs.
FMCSA proposes to amend the regulations related to driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) at railroad grade crossings. Currently, drivers of certain CMVs (e.g., buses transporting passengers and CMVs transporting certain hazardous materials) are required to stop before crossing a railroad track unless an exception applies, such as when the crossing is controlled by a functioning highway traffic signal transmitting a green indication. The Agency proposes to add a similar exception for a railroad grade crossing equipped with an active warning device that is not in an activated state (e.g., flashing lights or crossing gates down, indicating the arrival of a train).
FHWA is proposing to rescind the rule and regulations issued on October 10, 1974, Bridges on Federal Dams.
This final rule rescinds the rule and regulations issued on October 24, 2008, Projects of National and Regional Significance Evaluation and Rating.
FMCSA proposes to revise its regulations requiring commercial driver's license (CDL) holders to self-report motor vehicle violations to their State of domicile. With the implementation of the exclusive electronic exchange of violations between State drivers licensing agencies (SDLAs) in 2024, self-reporting is no longer necessary. This action supports the Administration's deregulatory efforts.
This action withdraws the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register on May 21, 2015 proposing amendments to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets." The NPRM proposed three main changes to FMVSS No. 218: adding a definition of motorcycle helmet, adding preliminary screening requirements, and adding an alternate compliance process. Based on NHTSA's analysis of the comments received and other considerations, the Agency has decided to withdraw the rulemaking proposal.
FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to rescind the in-vehicle electronic logging device (ELD) operator's manual requirement for commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). FMCSA currently maintains a list of the ELD vendors who have self-certified their products including submission of the operator's manual. Additionally, drivers are required to understand the operation of the ELD on the vehicle. There is no readily apparent benefit to continuing to require that the users' manual be in the CMV. This proposal would eliminate an unintended regulatory burden on motor carriers without compromising safety.
FMCSA proposes to remove references to liquid-burning flares from the warning device requirements in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). This proposed revision would remove outdated language referring to warning devices that FMCSA believes are no longer used.
FMCSA repeals the for-hire motor carrier routing regulations which concern servicing municipalities and unincorporated communities. These regulations are unlawful because they exceed FMCSA's statutory authority following the transfer of rules from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 1995, which were carried over to FMCSA in 2000.
This final rule rescinds the regulations issued on December 10, 1996, and amended on February 14, 2007, Management and Monitoring, thereby removing obsolete regulations governing transportation management and monitoring systems. Further, FWHA finalizes the proposed updates to the regulations governing risk-based Asset Management Plans by determining that no further action is needed.
FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to remove the grandfathering provision under the physical qualifications standards for interstate drivers operating under the previously administered vision waiver study program, as this regulation is now obsolete. The waiver study program was terminated prior to the adoption of rules in 1998 implementing the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century provision concerning waivers, exemptions and pilot programs.
FMCSA proposes to remove the requirement for commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to be equipped with at least one spare fuse for each type and size of fuse needed for the parts and accessories of the CMV. This proposed change would remove an unnecessary requirement from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
