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 appropriated 

funds 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 test 

and 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: The 

number assigned to the Mexicodomiciled motor carrier’s operating 

authority as found in the FMCSA 

Register. 

E. PASA Initiated: The date the PASA 

was initiated.
