| 2012-20752 | Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Application for an Exemption From Transecurity LLC (Transecurity) | Notice | The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requests public comment on an application for exemption from Transecurity LLC to allow the placement of an onboard safety monitoring system (OBMS) at the bottom of windshields on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) currently require antennas, transponders, and similar devices to be located not more than 6 inches below the upper edge of the windshield, outside the area swept by the windshield wipers, and outside the driver's sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals. Transecurity is coordinating device development and the installation of camera-based monitoring systems for FMCSA in up to 500 CMVs. The exemption would enable motor carriers to participate in a field operation test to evaluate the system and allow for on-road data collection. Transecurity believes this mounting position would maintain a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level of safety achieved without the exemption. | 2012-08-23 | 2012 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/08/23/2012-20752/parts-and-accessories-necessary-for-safe-operation-application-for-an-exemption-from-transecurity | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-08-23/pdf/2012-20752.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requests public comment on an application for exemption from Transecurity LLC to allow the placement of an onboard safety monitoring system (OBMS) at the bottom of windshields on commercial motor... |
