Registration of For-Hire Motor Carriers,

Property Brokers, and Freight

Forwarders; Withdrawal

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety

Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM); withdrawal.

SUMMARY: The FMCSA withdraws the

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)

relating to proposed interim rules on the

registration of for-hire motor property

and passenger carriers, property brokers,

and freight forwarders published in the

Federal Register at 63 FR 7362 on

February 13, 1998. This NPRM will be

superseded by three rulemaking

proceedings now in development that

will impact the registration process:

registration rules for new entrants as

required by the Motor Carrier Safety

Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA);

registration rules for Mexican motor

carriers operating in the United States

under the North American Free Trade

Agreement (NAFTA); and rules

implementing a unified carrier

registration system as required by the

Interstate Commerce Commission

Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA).

Maintaining an open docket on the

proposed interim registration rules

would be inconsistent with changes that

FMCSA will propose in these

proceedings.

DATES: The notice of proposed

rulemaking published on February 13,

1998 at 63 FR 7362 is withdrawn as of

June 15, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Interstate Commerce Commission

Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA) (Pub.

Secretary of Transportation to issue

regulations replacing: (1) the current

DOT identification number system, (2)

registration system for for-hire motor

carriers, property brokers and freight
