Hours of Service of Drivers: Trailways 

Companies Application for Exemption 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

exemption; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA has received an 

application from Trailways companies 

identified below (‘‘Trailways’’) for an 

exemption from the hours-of-service 

(HOS) record of duty status provision in 

49 CFR 395.8(c) that requires every 

commercial motor vehicle driver to 

record his or her duty status for each 24- 

hour period using methods prescribed 

in that section. FMCSA considers the 

request to be on behalf of all regularroute passenger carrier drivers. 

Trailways requests that these drivers be 

exempted from the requirement to enter 

a change in duty status on the daily log 

for breaks in driving time of 10 minutes 

or less, for the limited purpose of 

picking up or setting off passengers, 

baggage, or small express packages. 

Such time would not be considered a 

change of duty status for the purposes 

of 49 CFR 395.8(c). FMCSA requests 

public comment on Trailways’ 

application for exemption. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 31, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315 to grant exemptions 

from certain parts of the Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Regulations. FMCSA must 

publish a notice of each exemption 

request in the Federal Register (49 CFR 

381.315(a)). The Agency must provide 

the public an opportunity to inspect the 

information relevant to the application, 

including any safety analyses that have 

been conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. 

The Agency reviews safety analyses 

and public comments submitted, and 

determines whether granting the 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to, or greater than, 

the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). 

The decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register (49 

CFR 381.315(b)) with the reasons for 

denying or granting the application and, 

if granted, the name of the person or 

class of persons receiving the 

exemption, and the regulatory provision 

from which the exemption is granted. 

The notice must also specify the 

effective period and explain the terms 

and conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.300(b)). 

Request for Exemption 

Trailways (Adirondack Trailways, 

Pine Hill Trailways, and New York 

Trailways) offers scheduled passengercarrier service throughout New York 

State and to the nearby Canadian cities 

of Montreal and Toronto. Trailways 

states that its exemption application is 

for fixed-route carriers and their drivers 

who are often away from the controls of 

the vehicle for brief periods of time of 

less than 10 minutes to assist passengers 

or make one of several passenger pickups and drop-offs along the route. 

Trailways advises that until March 

2011 they and other motor carriers had 

been operating in accordance with a 

1996 interpretation of 49 CFR 395.8(c) 

issued by the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA). The 1996
