🚚Proposed Rulemaking for Electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports

FMCSA proposes to clarify the requirement to complete a Daily Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR), based upon a public comment filed by the National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC). The DVIR may already be completed electronically, however this NPRM proposes explicit language to make this clear. This will encourage motor carriers and drivers to utilize electronic, cost-saving methods when completing DVIRs.

🚛Proposed Rule to Rescind Rear Impact Guard Certification Labels

FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to rescind the requirement that the rear impact guard be permanently marked or labeled with a certification from the impact guard manufacturer as required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS). The certification label or marking provides motor carriers purchasing new trailers or new impact guards to replace damaged devices with a means to determine whether the equipment is certified as meeting the FMVSS. However, the labeling or marking requirement has proven problematic for motor carriers when the label or marking becomes illegible or wears off during the service life of the trailer or guard. This proposal would eliminate an unintended regulatory burden on motor carriers without compromising safety, as this NPRM would not affect the applicable FMVSS. The proposal would also rescind a guidance document pertaining to illegible, incomplete, or missing rear impact guard certification labels.

🥛Impact of Dairy Donation Program Rescission on Dairy Businesses

This action removes from AMS' regulations the implementing regulations for the Dairy Donation Program and makes conforming amendments to the implementing regulations for the Milk Donation Reimbursement Program. The Dairy Donation Program is no longer funded by Congress; therefore, AMS has no authority to take further action under the Dairy Donation Program and its implementing regulations are obsolete. Removing the regulations will provide transparency and may reduce confusion for dairy processors and other stakeholders.
