Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers; American Pyrotechnics Association (APA)

요약

FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions from certain hours of service (HOS) regulations for 44 APA member companies during designated Independence Day periods. The exemptions allow drivers of these companies to exclude off-duty and sleeper berth time of any length from the calculation of the 14-hour limit and to use paper records of duty status (RODS) in lieu of electronic logging devices (ELDs). FMCSA has analyzed the application for exemptions and the public comments and has determined that the exemptions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, will likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved in the absence of the exemptions.
