The FMCSA has made another series of what it calls “technical corrections” to its safety regulations.
Though such changes are typically minor and go unnoticed, the latest round includes some impactful revisions, including:
Some changes were required by Congress in the Infrastructure Improvement and Jobs Act, so the FMCSA was not required to provide any advance warning before amending the rules.
Also included were a variety of small grammatical and procedural changes throughout the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, with no effect on compliance.
Most changes went into effect on the day they were published: September 29, 2022.
As part of the changes, the FMCSA:
One change required by Congress didn’t make it into this round of corrections: the addition of rear impact guards to the list of critical components to be included on a post-trip inspection report.
Congress gave the FMCSA until November 15, 2022, to make that change to §396.11. There’s no word on why it was not included among the agency’s latest technical corrections, or when the change will be made.
Key to Remember: The FMCSA has made a variety of changes to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, most technical in nature but some having an impact on compliance.
