Action:Final rule.
Summary:
This final rule repromulgates
in the Code of Federal Regulations a
statutory requirement that FMCSA
revoke the operating authority
registration of a for-hire motor carrier
for failure to comply with safety fitness
requirements; if the Agency determines
that a motor carrier is "Unfit" based on
its Safety Fitness Determination
procedures, the Agency must revoke the
carrier's operating authority registration.
Unfit motor carriers are prohibited from
operating in interstate commerce, and
the Secretary of Transportation is
required by statute to revoke their
operating authority registration. This final rule also repromulgates several
technical provisions and makes nonsubstantive
administrative changes.
These changes, initially adopted as part
of the April 5, 2010, final rule entitled
"Electronic On-Board Recorders for
Hours-of-Service Compliance," are
necessary because, for reasons unrelated
to this final rule, the United States Court
of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
invalidated the previous rule.
