Commercial Driver’s License

Standards; Requirements and

Penalties; Noncommercial Motor

Vehicle Violations

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety

Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM); request for comments.

SUMMARY: The FMCSA proposes

disqualification regulations for drivers

subject to the Commercial Motor

Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (CMVSA).

Sections 201(b) and 202(h) of the Motor

Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999

(MCSIA) amended the CMVSA by

adding disqualification requirements for

a commercial driver’s license (CDL)

holder convicted of committing

violations while operating a

noncommercial motor vehicle (nonCMV). Each State would be required to

disqualify the CDL upon conviction by

revoking, suspending, or canceling it.

Each employer would be required to

stop using a driver from driving a

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) upon

the State’s disqualification. The purpose

of this proposal is to enhance the safety

of CMV operations on our nation’s

highways.
