Title: Hours of Service of Drivers (Section 610 Review)(Section 610 Review) 
Abstract: In this action, the FHWA is proposing revision of the FHWA's hours of service regulations. This action is mandated by the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995. The agency is currently in the process of completing several research projects and is interested in obtaining the results of other research (both in the U.S. and in foreign countries); such information will be used by the agency in developing a revised program for the hours of service of commercial motor vehicle drivers. As part of this rulemaking, the FHWA will consider the impacts of the hours of service requirements on small entities. This is considered significant due to substantial congressional and public interest.
