| 2011-2985 | Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Brakes; Application for Exemption From Innovative Electronics | Notice | FMCSA requests public comment on an application for exemption from Innovative Electronics regarding the use of trailer-mounted electric brake controllers, which monitor and actuate trailer brakes based on inertial forces developed in response to the braking action of the towing vehicle. While trailer-mounted electric brake controllers function like an electric surge brake, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) define a surge brake as a "self-contained, permanently closed hydraulic brake system" [Emphasis added.] As such, the use of trailer-mounted electric brake controllers on commercial motor vehicles is currently prohibited. Innovative Electronics is requesting a temporary exemption in advance of petitioning FMCSA for rulemaking to modify the current definition of a surge brake. | 2011-02-10 | 2011 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/02/10/2011-2985/parts-and-accessories-necessary-for-safe-operation-brakes-application-for-exemption-from-innovative | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-02-10/pdf/2011-2985.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA requests public comment on an application for exemption from Innovative Electronics regarding the use of trailer-mounted electric brake controllers, which monitor and actuate trailer brakes based on inertial forces developed in response to the... |
