Learn More🚌FMCSA Proposes Removal of Obsolete Water Carrier References
FMCSA proposes to remove all obsolete references to "water carriers" in the FMCSA regulations (FMCSRs). FMCSA does not specifically regulate water carriers except to the extent that such carriers also engage in motor carrier operations. In such cases, the existing FMCSRs provide appropriate coverage of the carrier's motor carrier operations.
Learn More🚧Elimination of Duplicative EEO Regulations by Federal Highway Administration
The FHWA is removing outdated and duplicative regulations requiring State highway agencies to submit to FHWA, on an annual basis, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program plans for FHWA approval. Currently, FHWA is responsible for oversight of State highway agencies' EEO programs, which include collection and analysis of internal employment data, development of an internal affirmative action hiring plan, and contractor compliance reporting. These regulations overlap with, and are duplicative of, other Federal requirements enforced by other Federal agencies. In addition, an Executive order (E.O.) issued by President Donald J. Trump repealed a previous E.O. that was relied on to initially promulgate the regulation. Elimination of these regulations will reduce administrative and monetary burdens on Federal- aid recipients.

Learn More🚚Proposed Rule Changes for Motor Carrier Inspection Report Compliance
FMCSA proposes to revise the requirement that motor carriers and intermodal equipment providers sign and return a completed roadside inspection form to the issuing State agency. FMCSA is aware that not all issuing State agencies require the return of these reports, and that requiring motor carriers and intermodal equipment providers to submit these reports to a State that does not require, or even request, the return of the form, creates an unnecessary burden. Through this proposed change, completed forms will only be returned to those States that request them. This action is in response to a petition for rulemaking from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA).
