Speed limiter notice officially published Wednesday
· Source: Overdrive
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) notice of intent to proceed with rulemaking to mandate speed limiters on most heavy-duty trucks is being published in the Federal Register Wednesday, May 4.
The publication of what the agency is calling an advance notice of supplemental proposed rulemaking opens the comment period for 30 days.
As previously reported, the notice does not specify any speed to which trucks will be limited under the regulation and is not a proposal of any regulatory language to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
Instead, it is a fact-finding and data-mining tool for FMCSA to determine how to best proceed with the rule.
