SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    Instructions and additional information concerning submitting 
comments may be viewed under the ADDRESSES heading and in section I of 
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION heading in the July 10, 2024, notice of 
MFT's exemption renewal application at 89 FR 56787-56788.

II. Background

    FMCSA published a notice of MFT's application to renew its 
exemption ``for the maximum available period'' from the sleeper berth 
requirements, which previously were set forth in 49 CFR 
395.1(g)(1)(ii)(A) and (B) on July 10, 2024, with a comment deadline of 
August 9, 2024. That notice sought public comment on the renewal 
application but did not include the supplemental document titled 
``McKee Foods Transportation Sleeper-Berth Exemption Provisions 
Interpretation'' in the docket. FMCSA believes that potential 
commenters should have an opportunity to review both documents. 
Accordingly, FMCSA reopens the comment period for all comments on MFT's 
application for renewal of its exemption in light of the supplemental 
document explaining the interpretation of the exemption.

Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy.
