FMCSA Proposes Update to Hazardous Materials Safety Permits Regulations

Summary

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is proposing to update its Hazardous Materials Safety Permits regulations to reference the latest Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) handbook, which includes revised out-of-service criteria for roadside inspections. The proposed changes aim to provide uniform enforcement tolerances nationwide, including FMCSA's state partners, and would update the regulations to reflect the 2018 edition of the handbook.
