The U.S. DOT’s proposal to revamp federal hours of service regulations still hasn’t been officially published in the Federal Register, though an agency spokesperson says the notice of proposed rulemaking is teed up for publication Thursday.
Last Wednesday, shortly after the proposal was unveiled, FMCSA Administrator Ray Martinez said the proposal was scheduled for publication for Monday. However, Monday came and went, obviously, with no official publication of the rule.
Public feedback on the rulemaking can’t be filed until the proposed rule is published. If the rule is indeed to be published Thursday, it will appear tomorrow in the Federal Register preview. When published, Overdrive will publish a link to file public comments.
