| 2016-05904 | Hours of Service of Drivers: National Star Route Mail Contractors Association; Application for Exemption | Notice | FMCSA announces that it has denied the National Star Route Mail Contractors Association (NSRMCA) application to exempt its contract carrier members from the "14-hour rule" of the Agency's hours-of-service (HOS) regulations. NSRMCA requested that a driver of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) transporting U.S. mail be allowed to follow an alternative HOS regimen consisting of no more than 10 hours of driving following 8 consecutive hours off duty; the driver would also be prohibited from driving after having been on duty for 15 non- consecutive hours following 8 consecutive hours off duty. FMCSA reviewed NSRMCA's application and the public comments received, and denied the application because available information did not allow the Agency to conclude that the proposed exemption would achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be obtained absent the exemption. | 2016-03-16 | 2016 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/03/16/2016-05904/hours-of-service-of-drivers-national-star-route-mail-contractors-association-application-for | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-03-16/pdf/2016-05904.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA announces that it has denied the National Star Route Mail Contractors Association (NSRMCA) application to exempt its contract carrier members from the "14-hour rule" of the Agency's hours-of-service (HOS) regulations.
