ANNOUNCEMENT 4
Subject: AGRICULTURE, HAZ - FR. DOT/Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Hours of Service; Limited Exemption for the Distribution of Anhydrous Ammonia in Agricultural Operations
[Federal Register: October 6, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 193)]
[Rules and Regulations]
[Page 61626-61631]
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
49 CFR Part 395
[Docket No. FMCSA-2010-0230]
Hours of Service; Limited Exemption for the Distribution of
Anhydrous Ammonia in Agricultural Operations
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of final disposition; granting of exemption.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FMCSA grants a 2-year, limited exemption from the Federal
hours-of-service (HOS) regulations for the transportation of anhydrous
ammonia from any distribution point to a local farm retailer or to the
ultimate consumer, and from a local farm retailer to the ultimate
consumer, as long as the transportation takes place within a 100 air-
mile radius of the retail or wholesale distribution point. This
exemption extends the agricultural operations exemption established by
section 345 of the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995, as
amended by sections 4115 and 4130 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), to
certain drivers and motor carriers engaged in the distribution of
anhydrous ammonia during the planting and harvesting seasons, as
defined by the States in which the carriers and drivers operate. The
Agency believes that the exemption will achieve a level of safety that
is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption, based on the terms and conditions imposed. The
exemption preempts inconsistent State and local requirements applicable
to interstate commerce.
DATES: The exemption is effective October 6, 2010. The exemption will
remain in effect until October 9, 2012 unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas L. Yager, Chief, Driver and
Carrier Operations Division, Office of Bus and Truck Standards and
Operations, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, DC 20590.
