MAP-21, The current highway funding bill, required the agency to produce a proposed rule by September 30th of 2013, but the agency did not publish the proposal until March of this year.<\/p>\n<p>The public comment <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccjdigital.com\/fmcsa-extends-comment-period-for-electronic-logging-device-proposal\/\">period on the rule ends on June 26th 2014<\/a>, after which the agency will start work on a final rule, taking into account feedback gathered during the 90 day commenting period.<\/p>\n<p>The agency usually makes a final rule within 2-3 months of the end of public comment periods on proposed rules, and the January 30th 2015 deadline would give the agency 7 months to publish its final electronic logging device <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/product\/geotab-drive-hos-dvir-solution\">(E-log\/ELD)<\/a> rule.<\/p>\n<p>Though the bill\u2019s language would not seem to set an impractical target, the FMCSA has missed several self-set time-frames on its calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Citing \u201cexcessive\u201d delays on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccjdigital.com\/public-csa-scores-crash-weighting-report-safety-fitness-top-points-at-fmcsa-meeting\/\">CSA-based Safety Fitness Determination rule<\/a>, the bill would also need the FMCSA to begin a rule-making \u201cno later than December 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SFD rule is the agency\u2019s next step in its Compliance, Safety, Accountability program. The rule would permit the agency to use a similar data set it uses in <a href=\"https:\/\/csa.fmcsa.dot.gov\/\">CSA<\/a>\u2019s Safety Measurement System rankings to produce an actual fitness score for carriers. The scores could then be used to target carriers for intervention.<\/p>\n<p>The THUD bill text calls the SFD rule \u201cthe cornerstone of CSA,\u201d and that until the rule is executed, \u201cFMCSA continues to depend on an enforcement and rating system that fails to place enough emphasis on both driver and vehicle qualifications, resulting in compromising safety on our nation\u2019s highways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In its most recent monthly report on significant rulemakings, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccjdigital.com\/fmcsa-projects-november-publication-of-rule-to-hike-carrier-insurance-minimums\/\">Department of Transportation projected December 17th as the publication date<\/a> for the SFD rule, which was delayed from the prior month\u2019s September 16th projected date. September 16th was however also delayed from months prior: At points last year, the rule was projected to be published May 2014.<\/p>\n<p>In another provision, the committee directs the Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of Inspector General to perform an audit of FMCSA\u2019s mandatory compliance review process \u201cto ensure motor carriers flagged for investigation are being investigated in a timely fashion.\u201d The \u201chigh risk carriers\u201d report is due by April 2015 for the preceding fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>The House will come together this week to take up its version of the THUD bill.<\/p>\n<p>Original article: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccjdigital.com\/senate-bill-sets-e-log-carrier-fitness-determination-deadlines-for-fmcsa\/?utm_source=daily&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=06-09-2014&amp;utm_campaign=CCJ&amp;ust_id=0c910824ef&amp;\">Commercial Carrier Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ELD | Electronic Logging Device | E-Log Deadlines for FMCSA The Senate\u2019s version of the yearly appropriations bill for the Department of Transportation contains language that would stop the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) from dragging its feet in producing a final electronic logging device mandate rule (ELD rule).
