The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s latest attempt at an electronic logging device mandate has been published in the Federal Register as a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and the agency will accept public comment on the proposed rule for 60 days.
FMCSA officially announced Thursday the next iteration of a rule that will require the use of electronic logging devices for all drivers required to keep records of duty status.
FMCSA announced the rule March 13 and released the 250-page document. The rule, when made final, will require all truck drivers who currently must keep records of duty status to use an electronic logging device, formerly known as electronic onboard recorders.
After the 60-day comment period, the agency will begin work on crafting a final rule, which is likely to be published later this year.
The effective date of the mandate would be two years after publication of the final rule, so likely late 2016.
The agency with this rule was directed by Congress and the courts to include more provisions to protect drivers from carriers using the devices to harass them.
