2126-AB61 201604 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2126 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration FMCSA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Definition of Tank Vehicle with Respect to Commercial Driver's License Holders

This rule would revise the definition of "tank vehicle" with respect to the applicability of the requirement for certain commercial driver's license (CDL) holders to obtain an endorsement to operate tank vehicles. On May 9, 2011, FMCSA published the "Commercial Driver's License Testing and Commercial Learner's Permit Standards" final rule. As a result of the rulemaking, FMCSA received numerous petitions regarding the definition of a "tank vehicle" found in 49 CFR 383.5. The new definition of "tank vehicle" became effective on July 11, 2011, and required additional drivers to secure tank vehicle endorsements on their commercial learners' permits (CLPs) and CDLs. This rulemaking responds to those petitions by seeking public comment on a proposed revision of the definition and the impacts this revised definition would have on the industry.
