These motor carriers did not successfully complete the PASA.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Marcelo Perez, FMCSA, North American Borders Division, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590– 0001. Telephone (512) 916–5440 Ext. 228; email marcelo.perez@dot.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

On May 25, 2007, the President signed into law the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (the Act), (Pub. L. 110–28, 121 Stat. 112, 183, May 25, 2007). Section 6901 of the Act requires that certain actions be taken by the United States (U.S.) Department of Transportation (DOT) as a condition of obligating or expending appropriatedfunds to grant authority to Mexicodomiciled motor carriers to operate beyond the municipalities in the United States on the United States-Mexico international border or the commercial zones of such municipalities (border commercial zones).

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 testand demonstrate the ability of Mexicodomiciled motor carriers to operate safely in the United States beyond the border commercial zones as detailed in the Agency’s April 13, 2011, Federal Register proposal [76 FR 20807]. The pilot program is a part of FMCSA’s implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) crossborder long-haul trucking provisions in compliance with section 6901(b)(2)(B) of the Act. FMCSA reviewed, assessed, and evaluated the required safety measures as noted in the July 8, 2011, notice and considered all comments received on or before May 13, 2011, in response to the April 13, 2011, notice. Additionally, to the extent practicable, FMCSA considered comments received after May 13, 2011.

In accordance with section 6901(b)(2)(B)(i) of the Act, FMCSA is required to publish comprehensive data and information on the PASAs conducted of motor carriers domiciled in Mexico that are granted authority to operate beyond the border commercial zones in the Federal Register to provide sufficient opportunity for public notice and comment. There is no requirement to provide information to the public on the motor carriers that failed the PASA, and, therefore, will not be granted authority to operate in the pilot program. However, FMCSA committed in previous notices to provide information on the motor carriers that did not pass the PASA.

The Mexico-domiciled motor carriers in Table 1 did not successfully complete the PASA.

Tables 2, 3 and 4 all titled (‘‘Failed Pre-Authorization Safety Audit (PASA) Information’’) set out additional information on the carriers noted in Table 1. A narrative description of each column in the tables is provided as follows:

A. Row Number in the Appendix for the Specific Carrier: The row number for each line in the tables.

B. Name of Carrier: The legal name of the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier that applied for authority to operate in the United States beyond the border commercial zones and was considered for participation in the long-haul pilot
program.

C. U.S. DOT Number: The identification number assigned to the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier and required to be displayed on each side of the motor carrier’s power units. If granted provisional operating authority, the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier will be required to add the suffix ‘‘X’’ to the ending of its assigned U.S. DOT Number for those vehicles approved to participate in the pilot program.

D. FMCSA Register Number: Thenumber assigned to the Mexicodomiciled motor carrier’s operating authority as found in the FMCSA Register.

E. PASA Initiated: The date the PASA was initiated.
