Title: Transportation of Household Goods; Consumer Protection Regulations(Rulemaking Resulting From a Section 610 Review) 
Abstract: The interim final rule on the transportation of household goods, published on June 11, 2003, and modified by technical amendments on March 5, 2004 and April 2, 2004, amended the FMCSA regulations governing interstate transportation of household goods to specify how motor carriers that transport household goods must assist individual customers who ship household goods. The current phase of the rulemaking is in response to petitions for reconsideration of the interim final rule on household goods transportation. The petitions were filed by the American Moving and Storage Association and the United Van Lines/Mayflower Transit, LLC. The public comments on each phase of this rulemaking will be considered when finalizing the rule. This action is considered significant because of substantial industry and public interest.
