Title: New Entrant Safety Assurance Process 
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish minimum requirements for new entrant motor carriers to ensure that they are knowledgeable about applicable Federal motor carrier safety standards. After ensuring that they are knowledgeable, the new entrants would be able to operate for 18 months in which time they must pass a safety review in order to receive permanent operating authority. A rule is necessary to clarify that all foreign motor carriers planning to operate in interstate commerce (except Mexico-domiciled motor carriers who are covered under the NAFTA rules) will be subject to these requirements.
