Teamsters Locals 70, 87, 150, 386, 439, 948 and 

2785 requesting that FMCSA reverse its preemption 

decisions, as well as a comment from the OwnerOperator Independent Drivers Association. These

petitions requesting the FMCSA waive 

all three determinations preempting 

California’s MRB rules for drivers of 

property- and passenger-carrying CMVs 

subject to FMCSA’s HOS rules and 

Washington’s MRB rules for propertycarrying CMVs subject to FMCSA’s HOS 

rules. 

The State of California has petitioned 

for waiver of the decisions preempting 

California’s MRB rules. FMCSA has 

placed each petition for waiver in the 

‘‘Documents’’ section of the appropriate 

docket.2 Although waiver of a 

preemption determination under 49 

U.S.C. 31141(d) is a legal determination 

reserved to the judgment of the Agency, 

FMCSA seeks comments on any issues 

raised in the above referenced petitions 

for waiver or otherwise relevant. In 

addition, FMCSA requests that 

commenters address the following 

issues: 

1. Whether and to what extent 

enforcement of a State’s meal and rest 

break laws with respect to intrastate 

property-carrying and passengercarrying CMV drivers has impacted the 

health and safety of drivers. 

2. Whether enforcement of State meal 

and rest break laws as applied to 

interstate property-carrying or 

passenger-carrying CMV drivers will 

exacerbate the existing truck parking 

shortages and result in more trucks 

parking on the side of the road and 

whether any such effect will burden 

interstate commerce or create additional 

dangers to drivers and the public; and 

3. Whether enforcement of a State’s 

meal and rest break laws as applied to 

interstate property-carrying or 

passenger-carrying CMV drivers will 

dissuade carriers from operating in that 

State; and 

4. Whether enforcement of a State’s 

meal and rest break laws as applied to 

interstate property-carrying or 

passenger-carrying CMV drivers will 

weaken or otherwise impact the 

resiliency of the national supply chain.
