General Notice: Hours of Service of Drivers: United States Postal Service Application for Exemption


Federal Register: 70FR 69625
Docket #: FMCSA-2005-22660
(What is this?)
 
Publication Date: 11/16/2005
Comment By Date: 12/16/2005

Action:

Notice of application for exemption; request for comments

Summary:

FMCSA announces that it has received an application for exemption from the hours-of-service (HOS) requirements from the United States Postal Service (USPS) on behalf of motor carriers that transport mail under contract for USPS. USPS requests that some of its contract motor carriers be allowed to operate under the HOS rules in effect prior to January 4, 2004. USPS believes the exemption would likely achieve a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level achieved under the HOS rules applicable to operators of property- carrying vehicles rules after January 4, 2004. FMCSA requests public comment on the USPS application for exemption.
