GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-23758 RIN 2126-AB54 Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0274 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Final rule. Effective October 1, 2012. The incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of October 1, 2012. 49 CFR Parts 303, 325, 350, 355, 356, 360, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 395, 396, 397, 398, and 399, and Appendices B and G of Subchapter B of Chapter III This final rule makes technical corrections throughout title 49 CFR subtitle B, chapter III. The Agency is making minor editorial changes to add revised delegations of authority from the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary), correct errors and omissions, and improve clarity. This rule does not make any substantive changes to the affected parts of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-21017 RIN 2126-AB53 Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0156 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Direct final rule; request for comments. 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 . 49 CFR Parts 383 and 390 The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) amends the definition of “gross combination weight rating” (GCWR) in our regulations. The definition currently prescribes how the GCWR is calculated if the vehicle manufacturer does not include the information on the vehicle certification label required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Agency has determined the definition should not include what is essentially guidance that is difficult for the motor carrier and enforcement communities to use. Therefore, FMCSA amends this definition to state that the GCWR is the value specified by the commercial motor vehicle manufacturer.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-12692 RIN Docket No. FMCSA-2007-27659 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Notice of regulatory guidance and applicability of ``tank vehicle'' definition. Effective date for the regulatory guidance: May 24, 2012. Compliance date for the May, 9, 2011 final rule: States must be in compliance with the requirements in subpart B of Part 384 (49 CFR part 384) by July 8, 2014. 49 CFR Parts 383, 384, and 385 On May 9, 2011, FMCSA published a final rule titled “Commercial Driver's License Testing and Commercial Learner's Permit Standards.” Among other things, the rule revised the definition of “tank vehicle.” The change required additional drivers, primarily those transporting certain tanks temporarily attached to the commercial motor vehicle (CMV), to obtain a tank vehicle endorsement on their commercial driver's license (CDL). The Agency has since received numerous questions and requests for clarification. This notice responds to questions about the new definition and the compliance date for drivers to obtain the tank vehicle endorsement.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-9034 RIN 2126-AA97 Docket No. FMCSA-2008-0363 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Final rule. Effective on May 21, 2012. Compliance required beginning on May 21, 2014. 49 CFR Parts 350, 383, 390, and 391 FMCSA establishes a National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (National Registry) with requirements that all medical examiners who conduct physical examinations for interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers meet the following criteria: Complete certain training concerning FMCSA's physical qualification standards, pass a test to verify an understanding of those standards, and maintain and demonstrate competence through periodic training and testing. Following establishment of the National Registry and a transition period, FMCSA will require that motor carriers and drivers use only those medical examiners on the Agency's National Registry and will only accept as valid medical examiner's certificates issued by medical examiners listed on the National Registry. FMCSA is developing the National Registry program to improve highway safety and driver health by requiring that medical examiners be trained and certified so they can determine effectively whether a CMV driver's medical fitness for duty meets FMCSA's standards.

Title 49 published on 2011-10-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 49 CFR 383 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-26550 RIN 2126-AB53 Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0156 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Withdrawal of direct final rule. The direct final rule published August 27, 2012 (77 FR 51706) is withdrawn effective October 26, 2012. 49 CFR Parts 383 and 390 FMCSA withdraws its August 27, 2012, direct final rule (DFR) amending the definition of “gross combination weight rating” (GCWR) in 49 CFR parts 383 and 390. The DFR would have taken effect on October 26, 2012. However, the Agency received several adverse comments in response to the DFR and will, therefore develop a notice of proposed rulemaking to request public comments on proposed changes to the GCWR definition.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-18902 RIN 2126-AB43 Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0172 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking; request for comments. Comments must be received on or before October 1, 2012. 49 CFR Parts 383 Current regulations require both commercial driver's license (CDL) holders and States with certified CDL programs to report a CDL holder's out-of-State traffic conviction to the driver'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'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's State of licensure. This proposed change would reduce a regulatory burden on both individuals and States.
