Title: Motor Carrier Transportation; Redesignation of Regulations
Abstract: This action transfers and redesignates certain motor carrier transportation regulations currently found in 49 CFR Chapter X to the FHWA in 49 CFR Chapter III. The ICC Termination Act abolished the ICC and transferred certain functions and proceedings to the Surface Transportation Board and the FHWA. The Secretary of transportation delegated the motor carrier provisions of the former ICC to the FHWA. ^PBecause the final rule simply provides notice to the public that the motor carrier transportation regulations currently found in 49 CFR Chapter X will be moved to 49 CFR Chapter III without any substantive changes being made to the regulations, the FHWA believes that prior notice and opportunity for comment are unnecessary and that good cause exists to dispense with the 30-day delay in effective date requirement so that the FHWA may administer them. This final rule makes no substantive changes to any of the regulations.
