Sec.  390.25  Extension of relief from regulations--emergencies.

    The FMCSA Field Administrator may extend the 30-day time period of 
the exemption contained in Sec.  390.23(a)(1), but not the 5-day time 
period contained in Sec.  390.23(a)(2) or the 24-hour period contained 
in Sec.  390.23(a)(3). Any motor carrier or driver seeking to extend the 
30-day limit shall obtain approval from the FMCSA Field Administrator in 
the region in which the motor carrier's principal place of business is 
located before the expiration of the 30-day period. The motor carrier or 
driver shall give full details of the additional relief requested. The 
FMCSA Field Administrator shall determine if such relief is necessary 
taking into account both the severity of the ongoing emergency and the 
nature of the relief services to be provided by the carrier or driver. 
If the FMCSA Field Administrator approves an extension of the exemption, 
he or she shall establish a new time limit and place on the motor 
carrier or driver any other restrictions deemed necessary.
