Title: Safety Performance History of New Drivers 
Abstract: FMCSA is proposing to amend the Federal motor carrier regulations to include minimum safety information that new and prospective employers must seek from former employers during the investigation of a driver's employment record. FMCSA is also proposing to increase the time period that carriers must record accident information in the accident register, from one year to three years. The Hazardous Materials Transportation Authorization Act of 1994 initially mandated this revision. The agency is preparing a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking in response to Small Business Administration (SBA) comments to the docket and sec. 4014 of TEA-21 (Pub. L. 105-178). SBA had 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.
