Title: Qualifications of Motor Carriers to Self-Insure Their Operations and Fees To Support the Approval and Compliance Process
Abstract: This action proposes to amend the regulations governing qualifications for motor carriers that seek authorization to self-insure their transportation operations. Also, the FHWA is proposing technical amendments necessitated by the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-88), which transferred the ICC's authority to qualify motor carriers as self-insurers to DOT. The agency is also requesting comments regarding the need for additional backup collateral or security to protect the public against uncompensated losses. The FHWA believes that this will be a significant regulatory action because of substantial congressional and public interest in the insurance requirements for motor carriers.
