Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No FMCSA–2011–0097] 

Pilot Project on NAFTA Trucking 

Provisions 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On September 12, 2011, 

FMCSA announced and requested 

public comment on data and 

information concerning the PreAuthorization Safety Audit (PASA) for 

Grupo Behr de Baja California SA de CV 

(Grupo Behr), USDOT# 861744, a motor 

carrier that applied to participate in the 

Agency’s long-haul pilot program. That 

action was required by the ‘‘U.S. Troop 

Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina 

Recovery, and Iraq Accountability 

Appropriations Act, 2007’’ and all 

subsequent appropriations. While 

Grupo Behr successfully completed the 

PASA process, commenters raised 

concerns about the company’s safety 

record. In addition, during the Agency’s 

safety vetting process, an operating 

authority violation was discovered. As a 

result, the Agency placed Grupo Behr’s 

application on hold. The purpose of this 

notice is to respond to the comments 

received in response to the September 

12, 2011, notice, and to explain the 

enforcement action that the Agency took 

as a result of the operating authority 

violation. In addition, this notice 

advises that the Agency will now issue 

provisional authority to Grupo Behr for 

participation in the long-haul pilot 

program.
