§ 383.5 Question 13 and § 390.5 Question 33
The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (99, Title XII, 100 Stat. 3207-170, October 27, 1986) (1986 Act) directs the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe regulations on minimum standards for testing and ensuring the fitness of an individual operating a commercial motor vehicle (49 U.S.C. 31305(a)). The States must use those standards in issuing commercial driver's licenses (CDLs).
Distinguishing Between Intra- and Interstate Commerce Back to Top
Most of the Agency's safety regulations, such as those in 49 CFR parts 390 through 399, are only applicable to the operation of CMVs, as defined in 49 CFR 390.5, in interstate commerce. The Federal courts have generated a large body of case law on the distinction between intra- and interstate commerce. The FMCSA's regulatory guidance on this issue is largely controlled by those decisions. The most recent guidance on this question involves 49 CFR 390.3, General applicability.
The FMCSA believes the 1975 and 1997 Federal Register notices provide helpful information for enforcement officials and motor carriers. The Agency requests public comment on whether additional guidance or information is needed to clarify the distinction between intra- and interstate commerce in the agricultural industry. If you believe it is needed, please describe scenarios that would benefit from further discussion.
