| 2017-19512 | Hours of Service of Drivers: Application for Exemption; Power and Communication Contractors Association (PCCA) | Notice | FMCSA announces that the Power and Communication Contractors Association (PCCA) has requested an exemption from the requirement that a motor carrier install and require each of its drivers to use an electronic logging device (ELD) to record the driver's hours-of-service (HOS) no later than December 18, 2017. PCCA requests the exemption for all operators of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in the power and communications construction industry. Construction contractors spend considerable time working off-road on varying jobsites, and a single CMV may have several different drivers over the course of a day, moving the vehicle short distances around the jobsite. Because of the limited time within a workday that their drivers spend driving on public roads, PCCA states that ELD and record of duty status (RODS) requirements for drivers in their industries do not result in a significant safety benefit. PCCA's drivers would remain subject to the standard HOS limits and maintain a paper RODS for HOS compliance. PCCA believes that the exemption, if granted, will achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent the exemption. FMCSA requests public comment on PCCA's application for exemption. | 2017-09-14 | 2017 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/14/2017-19512/hours-of-service-of-drivers-application-for-exemption-power-and-communication-contractors | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-09-14/pdf/2017-19512.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA announces that the Power and Communication Contractors Association (PCCA) has requested an exemption from the requirement that a motor carrier install and require each of its drivers to use an electronic logging device (ELD) to record the... |
