The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has granted the American Trucking Associations' request to intervene in Public Citizen’s latest challenge to the FMCSA hours of service rules, ATA announced Tuesday.
Public Citizen is expected to challenge the new rules’ 11-hour daily driving time limit; the 34-hour restart; and the agency’s decision not to immediately mandate EOBRS.
Also granted intervention in support of FMCSA was NASSTRAC Inc.; The Health and Personal Care Logistics Conference Inc.; and United Parcel Service.
The interveners will file a joint brief in support of the challenged aspects of the HOS rules, focusing on how they advance public safety while meeting the operational needs of the trucking industry. A briefing schedule has not yet been set and final resolution of the case is expected to take until at least spring 2007.
