Winter Home Heating Oil Delivery State Flexibility Program; Hours of Service

The FHWA is requesting comments on the development and implementation of a Winter Home Heating Oil Delivery State Flexibility Program (Heating Oil Program) for motor carriers making intrastate home heating oil deliveries within a 100 air-mile radius of a central terminal or distribution point. As mandated by the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 (NHS Act), the FHWA must select up to 5 States to participate. These States would permit drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) making intrastate home heating oil deliveries to end any period of 7 or 8 consecutive days with the beginning of an off- duty period of 24 or more consecutive hours. The program will begin November 1, 1996, and end April 30, 1997.
