Title: Minimum Training Requirements for Entry Level Commercial Motor Vehicle Operations (MAP-21) 
Abstract: This rulemaking would require behind-the-wheel and classroom training for persons who must hold a commercial driver´s license to operate commercial motor vehicles. This action is in response to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit´s December 2005 decision remanding the May 21, 2004, Final Rule, Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Commercial Motor Vehicle Operators to the Agency for further consideration. The rulemaking will consider the effectiveness of Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) driver training in reducing crashes, the appropriate types and levels of training that should be mandated, and related costs. Additionally, provisions in this rulemaking would also be responsive to requirements of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act. MAP-21 requires a final rule by October 1, 2013. This rulemaking was withdrawn to allow time to further study this issue.
