Publication ID: Fall 2001

Title: Safety Performance History of New Drivers
Abstract: This action proposes amending FMCSA regulations to specify minimum safety information that new or prospective employers must seek from former employers during the investigation of a driver's employment record. This action also proposes to increase the time period that carriers must record accident information in the accident register, from one to three years. The Hazardous Materials Reauthorization Act of 1994 initially mandated this revision. The agency is now drafting a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking in response to Small Business Administration (SBA) comments to the docket and section 4014 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) (Pub. L. 105-178). The SBA requested more in-depth Paperwork Reduction Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act analyses of the proposal. The TEA-21 provided limited employer protection from liability, strengthened employee due process provisions, and established a new statutory deadline of 1/99.
