CVSA Submits Comments to FMCSA’s NPRM on Emergency Exemptions

On March 6, CVSA  on FMCSA’s NPRM seeking stakeholder input on the agency’s response to petitions for reconsideration regarding the length of the emergency relief automatically triggered subsequent to a regional declaration of emergency by a governor of a state, their authorized representative or FMCSA. The NPRM is based on petitions for reconsideration that FMCSA received, which included a petition from CVSA. CVSA commented that it supports FMCSA’s proposition to revise the duration of the automatic emergency relief in Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations § 390.23, Automatic relief from regulations, from 14 days to 30 days.
