RIN 2126-AA33

 
Revision of Regulations and Application Form for Mexican-
Domiciled Motor Carriers To Operate in U.S. Municipalities and 
Commercial Zones on the U.S.-Mexico Border; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects the preamble to the proposed rule 
published in the Federal Register on May 3, 2001, regarding Revision of 
Regulations and Application Form for Mexican-Domiciled Motor Carriers 
to Operate in U.S. Municipalities and Commercial Zones on the U.S.-
Mexico Border. This correction revises a statement about the type of 
authority that most new applicants are expected to request by making it 
consistent with a similar statement in the rulemaking analysis. This 
correction would not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities because the regulatory flexibility 
analysis is already based upon the corrected statement.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. Valerie Height, (202) 366-6408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule published in the Federal 
Register on May 3, 2001, (66 FR 22328) makes contradictory statements 
concerning the type of authority that most new applicants would request 
under the liberalized NAFTA entry provisions. We believe that most of 
the new Mexican applicants will register to operate solely within the 
border area. This revision is consistent with a similar statement in 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act analysis on page 22331, column three, in 
the third sentence of the first full paragraph.
    In proposed rule FR Doc. 01-11034 published on May 3, 2001, (66 FR 
22328) make the following correction. On page 22328, in the second 
column, revise the last sentence to read as follows:
    ``With the implementation of the NAFTA entry provision, it is 
expected that additional Mexican-domiciled motor carriers will seek to 
operate in the United States, most of them within the border area.''

    Issued on: June 13, 2001.

Acting Deputy Administrator.
