Title: ●Minimum Levels of Financial Responsibility for Motor Carriers of Property; General Definitions; Hours of Service of Drivers; Correcting Amendments
Abstract: In this action, the FHWA makes three technical amendments to Federal motor carrier safety regulations. (1) a definition of the term "State" is being added to 49 CFR 387.5, the financial responsibility regulations for motor carriers of property; (2) the definition of farm-to-market agricultural transportation is being removed because it is unnecessary; and (3) finally, this action clarifies the intent to require a CMV driver to show either the number assigned by the motor carrier or the license number and licensing State of each CMV operated during a 24-hour period on his/her record of duty status.
