Action:
Final Rule
Summary:
FMCSA is publishing today its final rule governing hours of
service for commercial motor vehicle drivers, following its Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking published January 24, 2005. The rule addresses
requirements for driving, duty, and off-duty time; a recovery period,
sleeper berth, and new requirements for short-haul drivers. The hours-
of-service regulations published on April 28, 2003, were vacated by the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 16,
2004. Congress subsequently provided, through the Surface
Transportation Extension Act of 2004, that the 2003 regulations will
remain in effect until the effective date of a new final rule
addressing the issues raised by the court or September 30, 2005,
whichever occurs first. Today's rule meets that requirement.
