🚌Exemption Notice for Motorcoach Seat Belt Requirements

In accordance with our regulations, NHTSA is granting 13 petitions for renewal of temporary exemptions from the requirement to install Type 2 seat belts (i.e., shoulder belts) at side-facing seats on motorcoaches. The 13 petitioners are final-stage manufacturers of entertainer-type motorcoaches, seeking temporary exemptions from the shoulder belt requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant crash protection," for side-facing seats. The granted exemptions permit the petitioners to continue to install Type 1 seat belts (lap belt only) at side-facing seating positions, instead of Type 2 seat belts (lap and shoulder belts) required by FMVSS No. 208. After reviewing the petitions and the comments received, the agency has determined that the requested exemption renewals are warranted to enable each petitioner to sell vehicles whose overall level of safety or impact protection is at least equal to that of a nonexempted vehicle.

🚚Hawaii CDL Exemption

FMCSA announces its decision to grant an exemption to the State of Hawaii allowing the State to waive specific portions of the commercial driver's license (CDL) skills test for CDL applicants who take the skills test on the islands of Lanai and Molokai and issue these drivers a restricted CDL. Drivers who receive a restricted CDL under the provisions of this exemption are also exempt from the entry- level driver training (ELDT) regulations. FMCSA concludes that granting this exemption, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this notice, is likely to achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved absent the exemption. This Federal Register notice supersedes the current two-year exemption granted to the State of Hawaii that is scheduled to expire on February 20, 2026.
