| Résumé de l’enjeu | Des éléments supplémentaires du FMCSR doivent être inclus dans la politique opérationnelle 5 et dans l'énoncé de politique pour la partie II des North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria (OOSC). |
| Justification ou besoin | Comparaison de l’annexe G et de la nouvelle procédure d’inspection uniforme des véhicules du conducteur en Amérique du Nord (éléments d’inspection de sécurité critiques des véhicules commerciaux nord-américains et Out-of-Service Criteria) Relocalisation uniforme d’un véhicule hors service comme dans la partie III de l’OOCS. |
| Demande d’action | Ajoutez le texte suivant du FMCSR à la politique opérationnelle 5 et à l'énoncé de politique de la partie II de l'OOSC : « L'agent d'inspection a une certaine latitude pour décider de mettre le véhicule hors service sur le lieu d'inspection ou, s'il est moins dangereux de l'autoriser à se rendre dans un atelier de réparation. La distance jusqu'à l'atelier ne doit pas dépasser 40 kilomètres. » |
| Mesures prises par le 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. |
