General Technical, Organizational, Conforming, and Correcting Amendments to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
15:58 Jul 06, 2021

Jkt 253001

FMCSA amends its regulations by making technical corrections throughout the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations FMCSRs. The Agency makes minor changes to correct inadvertent errors and omissions, remove or update obsolete references, and improve the clarity and consistency of certain regulatory provisions. The Agency also makes nondiscretionary, ministerial changes that are statutorily mandated and changes that merely align regulatory requirements with the underlying statutory authority. Finally, this rule contains two minor changes to FMCSAs rules of agency procedure or practice that relate to separation of functions and allowing FMCSA and State personnel to conduct off-site compliance reviews of motor carriers following the same safety fitness determination criteria used in on-site compliance reviews.
DATES: This final rule is effective July 7, 2021, except for amendatory instruction 31 which is effective September 7, 2021.
