82 FR 26888 - Commercial Learner&apos;s Permit Validity
FR Doc. 2017-12080
RIN 2126-AB98
Docket No. FMCSA-2016-0346
FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to allow States to issue a commercial learner&apos;s permit (CLP) with an expiration date of up to one year from the date of initial issuance. CLPs issued for shorter periods may be renewed but the total period of time between the date of initial issuance and the expiration of the renewed CLP could not exceed one year. This proposed amendment would replace the current regulations, which require the States to issue CLPs initially for no more than 180 days, with the possibility of an additional 180-day renewal at the State&apos;s discretion.
80 FR 30163 - Commercial Driver&apos;s License Standards; Regulatory Guidance Concerning the Passenger Endorsement Requirements
FR Doc. 2015-12641
This guidance is effective May 27, 2015.
FMCSA responds to a question whether a commercial driver&apos;s license (CDL) passenger endorsement is required for drivers of certain custom motorcoaches designed or used to transport fewer than 16 passengers, including the driver. The guidance explains that a passenger endorsement is required because the vehicle is intended to transport passengers rather than cargo.
79 FR 32491 - Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) Changes To Improve Uniformity in the Treatment of Inspection Violation Data
FR Doc. 2014-13022
49 CFR Parts 383 and 390
FMCSA announced proposed changes to its Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) on December 2, 2013. These changes will allow the States to reflect the results of adjudicated citations related to roadside inspection violation data collected in MCMIS. Individuals must submit certified documentation of adjudication results through a Request for Data Review (RDR) in FMCSA&apos;s DataQs system to initiate this process. MCMIS is being modified to accept adjudication results showing that a citation was dismissed or resulted in a finding of not guilty; resulted in a conviction of a different or lesser charge; or, resulted in conviction of the original charge. The adjudication results will impact the use of roadside inspection violation data in other FMCSA data systems. These changes are intended to improve roadside inspection data quality. This document describes the MCMIS changes, responds to comments received on the proposed changes and provides the schedule for implementation of these changes.
FR Doc. 2014-05502
RIN 2126-AB70
The final rule is effective April 18, 2014.
FMCSA amends the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) by revising the definition of “gross combination weight rating” (or GCWR) to clarify the applicability of the Agency&apos;s safety regulations for single-unit trucks (vehicles other than truck tractors) when they are towing trailers, and the GCWR information is not included on the vehicle manufacturer&apos;s certification label.
78 FR 59328 - Commercial Driver&apos;s License Standards: Definition of Tank Vehicle Used for Determining the License Endorsement Requirement
FR Doc. 2013-23510
RIN 2126-AB61
Docket No. FMCSA-2013-0140
49 CFR Parts 383
FMCSA proposes to revise its definition of “tank vehicle.” Commercial driver&apos;s license (CDL) holders who operate such vehicles are required to obtain a tank vehicle endorsement. On May 9, 2011, FMCSA published a final rule on “Commercial Driver&apos;s License Testing and Commercial Learner&apos;s Permit Standards” that included a new definition of tank vehicle which required additional drivers to obtain tank vehicle endorsements on their commercial learners&apos; permits (CLPs) and CDLs. FMCSA received numerous petitions regarding the new definition. On May 24, 2012, the Agency published guidance in the Federal Register to clarify the “tank vehicle” definition. This NPRM would revise the definition by incorporating the 2012 regulatory guidance. FMCSA seeks comment on the proposal and information on the impact that the revised definition would have on the industry.

77 FR 51706 - Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR); Definition
FR Doc. 2012-21017
This rule is effective October 26, 2012, unless an adverse comment or notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, is either submitted to our online docket via http://www.regulations.gov on or before September 26, 2012 or reaches the Docket Management Facility by that date. If an adverse comment or notice of intent to submit an adverse comment is received by September 26, 2012, we will withdraw this direct final rule and publish a timely notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register .
77 FR 46010 - Self Reporting of Out-of-State Convictions
FR Doc. 2012-18902
Current regulations require both commercial driver&apos;s license (CDL) holders and States with certified CDL programs to report a CDL holder&apos;s out-of-State traffic conviction to the driver&apos;s State of licensure. FMCSA proposes to reduce the impact of this reporting redundancy by providing that if a State in which the conviction occurs has a certified CDL program in substantial compliance with FMCSA&apos;s regulations, then an individual CDL holder convicted in that State is considered to be in compliance with his/her out-of-State traffic conviction reporting obligations because the State where the conviction occurred will report the violation to the CDL holder&apos;s State of licensure. This proposed change would reduce a regulatory burden on both individuals and States.
