General Notice: Withdrawal of Regulatory Guidance Concerning the Use of Surge Brakes on Commercial Motor Vehicles


Federal Register: 72FR 9999
Docket #: FMCSA-2005-21323
(What is this?)
 
Publication Date: 3/6/2007

Action:

Notice; withdrawal of regulatory guidance

Summary:

FMCSA withdraws all prior regulatory guidance, previously in the Federal Register, as well as memoranda and letters issued by the Agency, indicating that surge brakes do not meet certain provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). Elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal Register, FMCSA amends the FMCSRs to allow the use of automatic hydraulic inertia brake systems (surge brakes) on trailers when the ratios of gross vehicle weight ratings for the towing-vehicle and trailer are within certain limits.
