Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
I, Mary Fallin, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, pursuant to
			 the power vested in me by Sections 1 and 2 of Article VI of the Oklahoma
			 Constitution and 63 O.S. §§
							683.1 et
			 seq., hereby declare that because a regional state of emergency has been
			 declared in the State of Arkansas due to inoperative water pumps at the
			 Heavener Utility Authority in Heavener, Oklahoma, it is necessary for public
			 health and safety to assist and expedite all efforts to assist in the delivery
			 of feed to poultry farms, the pickup of poultry from poultry farms and the
			 transportation of meat from processing plants in the State of Oklahoma to
			 further processing or safe storage in the State of Arkansas.
In order to accommodate this need and to provide assistance to
			 the citizens and drivers of the State of Oklahoma in this situation, I hereby
			 order the temporary suspension of the following as they apply to vehicles in
			 the support efforts directly related to the transportation of feed, poultry and
			 meat to, and from, processing locations in Haskell, LeFlore and Sequoyah
			 Counties of the state of Oklahoma to, and from, the State of Arkansas:
1. The requirements under parts 390 through
		  399 pursuant to part 390.23(a)(1) of the Federal Motor Carriers Safety
		  Administration Regulations;
2. The
		  requirements for licensing and operating authority as required by the Oklahoma
		  Corporation Commission;
3. The
		  requirements for licensing and operating authority as required by the Oklahoma
		  Tax Commission;
Nothing contained in this declaration shall be construed as an
			 exemption from the Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing
			 requirements (49 C.F.R. Part 382), the Commercial Driver's License Standards
			 requirements (49 C.F.R. Part 383), the Minimum Levels of Financial
			 Responsibility for Motor Carrier requirements (49 C.F.R. Part 387), or any
			 other portion of the regulations not specifically identified herein. Motor
			 carriers that have an Out-Of-Service Order in effect cannot take advantage of
			 the relief from regulation that this declaration provides.
This Order applies only to the transportation of poultry
			 products in Haskell, LeFlore and Sequoyah counties of the State of Oklahoma, to
			 provide direct assistance to this emergency. No other products, are covered by
			 the exemption and suspension under this Order.
Because of the on-going State of Emergency which has existed
			 since March 8th, 2018, this Executive Order shall be effective until the close
			 of business on March 25th, 2018.
This Executive Order shall be forwarded to the Oklahoma
			 Corporation Commission, the Oklahoma Tax Commission, and the Department of
			 Public Safety, who shall cause the provisions of this order to be implemented
			 by all appropriate agencies of state government.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the Great Seal
			 of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 9th day
			 of March 2018.
