On
March 28, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) officially
published their Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(SNPRM) regarding Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs, previously EOBRs).
The
Agency publicly released the document on March 13; however, a rule’s comment
period cannot begin until it is published in the Federal Register.
According to the Agency, the proposal is intended to increase efficiency for
law enforcement personnel and inspectors who review driver logbooks, respect
driver privacy, and protect drivers from harassment. The proposal will also
reduce the paperwork burden on drivers and motor carriers and improve the
quality of hours of service compliance data.
Comments are due May 27, 2014. The
proposal will be on the agenda at the CVSA Workshop in April in Los Angeles, CA.
