The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Sept. 30 ordered FMCSA to issue the proposed rule by Dec. 30
Washington,DC,USA -Overdrive, by: Avery Vise -October 4, 2010: -- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has said it plans to issue a proposed rule by the end of this year on supporting documents for hours-of-service compliance, but now it has no choice... In January, the American Trucking Associations asked the appeals court to issue a “writ of mandamus” to order FMCSA to issue a supporting documents regulation that Congress mandated as part of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Authorization Act of 1994. The regulations were to have been issued by Feb. 26, 1996. FMCSA and ATA set the lawsuit aside this spring to settle their differences, but in July ATA said settlement talks had failed and asked the court to rule... Even before ATA filed the lawsuit in January FMCSA had announced that it would deal with HOS supporting documents as part of a new rulemaking that would expand the scope of mandatory electronic onboard recorders. According to the agency’s current schedule published before the Sept. 30 court order the White House would clear a proposed rule by Dec. 30, and FMCSA would publish it a few days later...Labels: rules and regulations
