49 CFR Parts 384 and 386

[Docket No. FMCSA-2023-0174]
RIN 2126-AC60


General Technical, Organizational, Conforming, and Correcting 
Amendments to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department 
of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In a final rule published in the Federal Register on November 
17, 2023, FMCSA amended its regulations by making technical corrections 
throughout the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). The 
final rule had an incorrect paragraph number in the instruction for an 
amendment and, in an amendment replacing a term, erroneously failed to 
replace the possessive form of the term. The Agency corrects these 
errors.

DATES: This correction is effective January 5, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Nicholas Warren, Regulatory 
Development Division, Office of Policy, FMCSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue 
SE, Washington, DC 20590-0001; (202) 366-6124; <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5e30373d3631323f2d70293f2c2c3b301e3a312a70393128"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6d03040e0502010c1e431a0c1f1f08032d090219430a021b">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 17, 2023, FMCSA published a 
final rule (88 FR 80169) that amended its regulations by making 
technical corrections throughout the FMCSRs. The rule made minor 
changes to correct inadvertent errors and omissions, remove or update 
obsolete references, and improve the clarity and consistency of certain 
regulatory provisions. The rule also made a change to its rules of 
organization, procedures, and practice. Through this document, FMCSA 
corrects two errors in that final rule.

Correction

    First, in amendment no. 48, the instruction incorrectly identified 
paragraph (b)(2) of Sec.  384.209 as one of

[[Page 713]]

the paragraphs revised in that amendment. The correct paragraph is 
(b)(1), as shown in the regulatory text in that amendment. The 
amendment was carried out as intended, but FMCSA in this document is 
correcting the instruction for the record.
    Therefore, in FR Doc. 2023-24160 appearing on page 80169 in the 
Federal Register of November 17, 2023, the following correction is 
made:


Sec.  384.209  [Corrected]

0
1. On page 80182, in the first column, in amendment 48, the instruction 
``Amend Sec.  384.209 by revising paragraphs (a)(1) and (b)(2) to read 
as follows:'' is corrected to read ``Amend Sec.  384.209 by revising 
paragraphs (a)(1) and (b)(1) to read as follows:''.
    Second, amendment no. 56 replaced the text ``Assistant 
Administrator'' with the text ``Agency Decisionmaker'' throughout most 
of part 386. However, the amendment inadvertently omitted an 
instruction replacing the possessive form ``Assistant Administrator's'' 
with ``Agency Decisionmaker's'' which appears in a few sections of the 
part. This document provides an amendment to replace that possessive 
form accordingly.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 386
