Resumen del asunto	Se incluirán disposiciones adicionales de FMCSR en la Política Operativa 5 y en la Declaración de Política para la Parte II de los North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria (OOSC).
Justificación o necesidad	Comparación del Apéndice G y el nuevo Procedimiento Uniforme Norteamericano de Inspección de Vehículos por el Conductor (Elementos Críticos de Inspección de Seguridad de Vehículos Comerciales Norteamericanos y Out-of-Service Criteria) Reubicación uniforme de un vehículo fuera de servicio como en la Parte III del OOCS.
Solicitud de acción	Agregue el siguiente texto de la FMCSR a la Política Operativa 5 y a la Declaración de Política para la Parte II del OOSC: "Se otorga cierta flexibilidad al funcionario inspector para decidir si coloca el vehículo fuera de servicio en el lugar de inspección o si, por el contrario, sería menos peligroso permitir que el vehículo se dirija a un taller de reparación. La distancia al taller no debe exceder las 25 millas."
Medidas adoptadas por el comité	The request was based on wording that is currently found in the FMCSRs at the end of Appendix G. The regulation currently states: "A certain amount of flexibility is given to the inspecting official whether to place the vehicle out-of-service at the inspection site or if it would be less hazardous to allow the vehicle to proceed to a repair facility for repair. The distance to the repair facility must not exceed 25 miles." Several agencies indicated that they will not issue the OOS order until the vehicle is in a safe location. Others indicated that each situation is different and if we indicate in the Operational Policy that 25 miles to a repair facility is acceptable, it will be expected in all cases. It was also discussed that this policy was around in the earlier years when there was an OOS criteria as well as a Restricted criteria. This policy was removed when the restricted criteria was removed in the early 90’s. Therefore, it was determined that the more appropriate action would be to have FMCSA remove the statement from Appendix G. It was the consensus of the committee, including industry, that it always be understood that when a vehicle is placed OOS it is not moved under its own power. If the officer makes the determination that it is safer to have the driver move it than to leave it where it is, the officer is then taking the liability into their hands and if the vehicle is moved under escort or otherwise, it should be documented on the inspection report. It was further discussed that allowing the driver to move the vehicle under an OOS order and not making it clear on the inspection report that this has been allowed, could result in disciplinary action from the company on the driver or issues in an audit where the vehicle has been operated and mileage accumulated prior to repairs being completed. Mike Huntley suggested that a petition in this regard would not be necessary but rather an email or letter to FMCSA to remove the statement for Appendix G would be appropriate.

Resumen del asunto

Se incluirán disposiciones adicionales de FMCSR en la Política Operativa 5 y en la Declaración de Política para la Parte II de los North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria (OOSC).

Justificación o necesidad

Comparación del Apéndice G y el nuevo Procedimiento Uniforme Norteamericano de Inspección de Vehículos por el Conductor (Elementos Críticos de Inspección de Seguridad de Vehículos Comerciales Norteamericanos y Out-of-Service Criteria) Reubicación uniforme de un vehículo fuera de servicio como en la Parte III del OOCS.

The request was based on wording that is currently found in the FMCSRs at the end of Appendix G. The regulation currently states:

"A certain amount of flexibility is given to the inspecting official whether to place the vehicle out-of-service at the inspection site or if it would be less hazardous to allow the vehicle to proceed to a repair facility for repair. The distance to the repair facility must not exceed 25 miles."

Several agencies indicated that they will not issue the OOS order until the vehicle is in a safe location. Others indicated that each situation is different and if we indicate in the Operational Policy that 25 miles to a repair facility is acceptable, it will be expected in all cases. It was also discussed that this policy was around in the earlier years when there was an OOS criteria as well as a Restricted criteria. This policy was removed when the restricted criteria was removed in the early 90’s. Therefore, it was determined that the more appropriate action would be to have FMCSA remove the statement from Appendix G.

It was the consensus of the committee, including industry, that it always be understood that when a vehicle is placed OOS it is not moved under its own power. If the officer makes the determination that it is safer to have the driver move it than to leave it where it is, the officer is then taking the liability into their hands and if the vehicle is moved under escort or otherwise, it should be documented on the inspection report. It was further discussed that allowing the driver to move the vehicle under an OOS order and not making it clear on the inspection report that this has been allowed, could result in disciplinary action from the company on the driver or issues in an audit where the vehicle has been operated and mileage accumulated prior to repairs being completed.
