The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee's Compliance, Safety, Accountability and Motorcoach Hours of Service subcommittees have set a meeting for next month.
In a Federal Register notice published Wednesday, FMCSA says they will discuss on June 17 and 18 ideas, concepts, and suggestions on FMCSA's CSA program. It will continue its efforts to identify and make recommendations for enhancements of the CSA program. These topics should include but not be limited to the Safety Measurement System and the interventions/investigative processes. It will also prioritize recommended enhancements of CSA to enable the agency to direct its efforts to the most important or timely needs of the program.
On June 19 and 20, the Motorcoach HOS subcommittee will meet to complete its draft recommendations for the full MCSAC to consider on hours-of-service for motorcoach drivers.
Both meetings are open to the public for their entirety and there will be a public comment period at the end of each day.
The public may submit written comments on the topics to be considered during the meeting by June 12 to the Federal Docket Management System, docket number FMCSA-2006-26367, using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov; by fax at 202-493-2251 or through the U.S. Postal Service.
