| 2018-16223 | Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Application for an Exemption From Groendyke Transport, Inc. | Notice | The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requests public comment on an application for exemption from Groendyke Transport, Inc. (Groendyke) to allow the use of a pulsating brake lamp in addition to the steady burning brake lamps required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) in its fleet operations. The FMCSRs require all exterior lamps (both required lamps and any additional lamps) to be steady-burning, with the exception of turn signal lamps, hazard warning signal lamps, school bus warning lamps, amber warning lamps or flashing warning lamps on tow trucks and commercial motor vehicles (CMV) transporting oversized loads, and warning lamps on emergency and service vehicles authorized by State or local authorities. Groendyke believes that operating a pulsating brake lamp on the rear of its trailers on a fleet-wide basis would allow the company to operate its equipment more effectively, efficiently, and safely, and would maintain a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that it would achieve without the requested exemption. | 2018-07-30 | 2018 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/07/30/2018-16223/parts-and-accessories-necessary-for-safe-operation-application-for-an-exemption-from-groendyke | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-07-30/pdf/2018-16223.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 Groendyke Transport, Inc.
