Title: Requirements for Intermodal Equipment Providers and Motor Carriers and Drivers Operating Intermodal Equipment 
Abstract: This rulemaking would require entities that offer intermodal container chassis for transportation in interstate commerce to: File a Motor Carrier Identification Report (Form MCS-150); display a USDOT identification number on each chassis offered for such transportation; establish a systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance program to ensure the safe operating condition of each chassis offered for transportation and maintain documentation of the program; and provide a means for effectively responding to driver and motor carrier complaints about the condition of intermodal container chassis. The rulemaking is considered significant because of substantial industry and congressional interest and because it involves other departmental modes. This rulemaking was redrafted to reflect changes made by recent reauthorization legislation.
