Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 126 / Tuesday, July 6, 2021 / Proposed Rules
K. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
FMCSA analyzed this NPRM for the purpose of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 NEPA 42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq. and determined this action is categorically excluded from further analysis and documentation in an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement under FMCSA Order 5610.1 69 FR 9680, Appendix 2, paragraph 6.bb. The Categorical Exclusion CE in paragraph 6.bb. addresses regulations concerning vehicle operation safety standards e.g., regulations requiring: Certain motor carriers to use approved equipment which is required to be installed such as an ignition cut-off switch, or carried onboard, such as a fire extinguisher, and/or stricter blood alcohol concentration standards for drivers, etc., equipment approval, and/or equipment carriage requirements e.g., fire extinguishers and flares.
The proposed requirements in this rule are covered by this CE and the NPRM does not have any effect on the quality of the environment.
