Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 1 - EXECUTIVE ORDERS › Section 1:2013-42A

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.
, and pursuant to Title 49 C.F.R. Part 390.23, hereby
			 declare that because there is a state of emergency existing in the State of
			 Oklahoma due to hazardous weather conditions, it is necessary to assist and
			 expedite all efforts of storm relief. In order to accommodate this need and to
			 provide assistance to the citizens of Oklahoma in this extraordinary situation,
			 I hereby order the temporary suspension of the following as they apply to
			 vehicles used in the support efforts:
1. The requirements for special permits for
		  use of oversized vehicles under Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes;
2. The requirements for special permits for
		  use of overweight vehicles operating off the interstate highway system under
		  Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes;
3. The requirements for licensing/operating
		  authority as required by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission;
4. The requirements for
		  licensing/registration as required by the Oklahoma Tax Commission and the
		  Oklahoma Corporation Commission; and
5. Exemption from Parts 390 through 399 of
		  Title 49 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
Declaration of this emergency provides relief for 30 days from
			 Sections 390 through 399 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations for
			 those interstate and intrastate carriers who are providing direct assistance
			 for the immediate restoration of essential services (such as electrical, sewer,
			 water, and telecommunications) or essential supplies (such as feed, food and
			 fuel). It does not include transportation related to long-term rehabilitation
			 of damaged physical infrastructure or routine commercial deliveries after the
			 initial threat to life and property has passed. Direct assistance terminates
			 when a driver or commercial motor vehicle is used in interstate or intrastate
			 commerce to transport cargo not destined for the emergency relief effort, or
			 when a motor carrier dispatches such driver or vehicle to a location outside
			 the relief area.
Nothing contained in this declaration shall be construed as an
			 exemption from the Controlled Substance and Alcohol Use and Testing
			 requirements ( 49 C.F.R. Part 382 ), the Commercial Driver License requirements
			 ( 49 C.F.R. Part 383 ), the Financial Responsibility 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.
Consistent with Title 49 C.F.R. Part 390.23 this emergency notice
			 will remain in effect for 30 days, December 05, 2013 through January 04,
			 2014.
Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed to the
			 Director of Emergency Management who shall cause the provisions of this order
			 to be implemented by all appropriate agencies of state government.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
I have hereunto set my hand and
			 caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City,
			 Oklahoma, this 11th day of December, 2013.
