timeframe would be sufficient for implementation of the ELDT
requirements.
FMCSA Response: As noted in the interim rule, FMCSA experienced IT
development issues, including changes to DOT internal requirements for cloudbased IT systems, which added time to the development process. This delay also impacts the States, as SDLAs cannot implement necessary IT changes until FMCSA completes its IT
specifications.

VII. Section-by-Section Analysis This final rule affirms the changes made by the interim rule. It also makes non-substantive revisions to correct errors that were discovered after the interim rule published. These affirmed changes and non-substantive revisions are as follows:
FMCSA revises the headings for subparts E and F in part 380, to reflect the change in the compliance date for entry-level drivers to obtain the training set forth in subpart F. This change was inadvertently left out of the interim rule, though it was included as an intended change in the section-by-section analysis of that document. The changes to the headings have no impact, however, as the actual regulatory text included the changed dates. FMCSA
affirms the revisions to 380.600 and 380.603. FMCSA also revises the heading for subpart G in part 380, which was erroneously left out of the interim rule. Finally, FMCSA is making a technical correction in 380.707a to add a missing word.
FMCSA affirms the changes in 383.71, paragraphs a3, b11, and e5, which changed the individual drivers compliance date from February 7, 2020, to February 7, 2022.
FMCSA also affirms the changes in 383.73: In paragraphs b11, e9, and p, the interim rule changed the States compliance date from February 7, 2020, to February 7, 2022; and in paragraphs b3 introductory text, b3ii, and e9, FMCSA made clarifying changes.
Finally, the Agency affirms the change to the States compliance date in 384.230 and 384.301, from February 7, 2020, to February 7, 2022. FMCSA is also making changes to cross references in 384.230, to account for the changes made in 383.73.
