FMCSA Withdraws Exemption Renewal Notice for Charles Machine Works, Inc. Due to Final Rule Providing Relief

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has withdrawn its January 16, 2026, notice requesting public comment on an application from Charles Machine Works, Inc. (CMW) to renew a five-year exemption from the prohibition on gravity-fed or siphon-fed fuel systems on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), as the February 19, 2026, final rule addressing 'Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Auxiliary Fuel Tanks' already provided the necessary relief, rendering the exemption unnecessary for CMW and potentially other entities.
