Title: New Entrant Safety Assurance Process 
Abstract: This rulemaking will establish minimum requirements for new entrant motor carriers to ensure that they are knowledgeable about applicable Federal motor carrier safety standards. After ensuring that they are knowledgeable, the new entrants will operate for 18 months in which time they must pass a safety review in order to receive permanent operating authority. This rule is significant because of public and congressional interest in rules required by MCSIA.
