SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 8, 2011, FMCSA announced 

in the Federal Register [76 FR 40420] its 

intent to proceed with the initiation of 

a United States-Mexico cross-border 

long-haul trucking pilot program to test 

and demonstrate the ability of Mexicodomiciled motor carriers to operate 

safely in the United States beyond the 

municipalities and commercial zones 

along the United States-Mexico border, 

as detailed in the Agency’s April 13, 

2011, Federal Register notice [76 FR 

20807]. The pilot program is a part of 

FMCSA’s implementation of the North 

American Free Trade Agreement 

(NAFTA) cross-border long-haul 

trucking provisions in compliance with 

section 6901(b)(2)(B) of the U.S. Troop 

Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina 

Recovery, and Iraq Accountability 

Appropriations Act, 2007 [Pub. L. 110– 

28, 121 Stat. 112, 183, May 25, 2007]. 

In accordance with section 

6901(b)(2)(B)(i), FMCSA is required to 

publish in the Federal Register, and 

provide sufficient opportunity for 

public notice and comment, 

comprehensive data and information on 

the PASAs conducted of motor carriers 

domiciled in Mexico that applied for 

authority to operate beyond the United 

States municipalities and commercial 

zones on the United States-Mexico 

border. 

On August 25 and 26, FMCSA 

conducted PASAs on two Mexican 

carriers: Grupo Behr and Transportes 

Olympic. In accordance with section 

6901, on September 12 and September 

14, FMCSA published notices in the 

Federal Register [76 FR 56272, 56868], 

in which FMCSA announced that the 

two companies had successfully 

completed their PASAs and provided an 

opportunity for public comment on the 

data and information relating to those 

PASAs. 

In accordance with section 6901, 

FMCSA requested public comment from 

all interested persons on the PASA 

information presented in the notice. All 

comments received before the close of 

business on the comment closing date 

were considered and will be available 

for examination in the docket at the 

location listed under the ADDRESSES

section of this notice. FMCSA notes that 

under its regulations, preliminary grants 

of authority, pending the carrier’s 

showing of compliance with insurance 

and process agent requirements and the 

resolution of any protests, are publically 

noticed through publication in the 

FMCSA Register. Any protests of such 

grants must be filed within 10 days of 

such publication. No protests for either 

Grupo Behr or Transportes Olympic 

were received. 

Response to Comments 

FMCSA received 11 timely comments 

on its Federal Register notice. Seven of 

the 11 commenters provided general 

letters in support of the PASA results. 

These included the National Potato 

Council, the California Table Grape 

Commission, the National Pork 

Producers Council, the California Grape 

and Tree Fruit League, the Northwest 

Horticultural Council, the American 

Apparel and Footwear Association, and 

the U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce. 

Advocates for Highway and Auto 

Safety (Advocates), the Owner Operator 

Independent Driver Association 

(OOIDA), the International Brotherhood 

of Teamsters (Teamsters), and Knight 

Transportation provided comments 

questioning the PASAs for Grupo Behr 

and Transportes Olympic. In addition, 

these four groups provided more general 

comments on the pilot program itself. 

Those comments are outside of the 

scope of the PASA notices and will not 

be addressed in this notice. 

PASA Process Issues 

OOIDA questioned how PASAs could 

be completed so soon after the Office of
