DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket Nos. FMCSA–2014–0342 and 

FMCSA–2014–0407] 

Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers; 

Applications for Exemption From the 

14-Hour Rule 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final dispositions; 

denial of applications for exemption. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its denial 

of the applications of the American 

Moving & Storage Association (AMSA) 

and the International Association of 

Movers (IAM) for an exemption that 

would allow a driver to operate a 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) after 

the 14th hour since coming on duty. 

AMSA and IAM are engaged in the 

movement of household goods by CMV. 

They requested the exemption for their 

drivers who are delayed at a residence 

beyond the 14th hour and need to move 

the vehicle to a secure location for 

overnight parking. FMCSA concluded 

that AMSA and IAM did not 

demonstrate how CMV operations under 

such an exemption would be likely to 

achieve a level of safety equivalent to or 

greater than the level of safety that 

would be obtained in the absence of the 

exemption. 

DATES: FMCSA denied the applications 

for exemption by letters dated April 16 

(IAM) and June 8 (AMSA).

Robert F. Schultz, FMCSA Driver and 

Carrier Operations Division; Office of 

Carrier, Driver and Vehicle Safety 

Standards; Telephone: 202–366–4325.

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)). 

Application for Exemption 

AMSA and IAM are trade associations 

representing entities engaged in the 

movement of household goods by CMV. 

By separate applications, they sought 

exemption from the ‘‘14-hour rule’’ in 

49 CFR 395.3(a)(2), which prohibits a 

CMV driver from driving a propertycarrying CMV after the 14th hour after 

coming on duty following 10 

consecutive hours off duty. They 

proposed that the exemption would be 

used solely by drivers who need to drive 

a moving van from a customer’s 

residence to a safe place for overnight 

parking after the 14th hour of their duty 

day has elapsed. AMSA and IAM stated 

that unexpected delays during the day 

result in this predicament. They further 

stated that movement of CMVs from 

residential areas to overnight parking 

eliminates the safety hazard created 

when vans are parked in residential 

neighborhoods, and ensures the security 

of household goods in the moving vans. 

AMSA and IAM proposed that the 

exemption limit CMV driving after the 

14th hour to 75 miles or 90 minutes.
