 White House clears onboard recorder proposal for trucks
Quote:
The White House Office of Management and Budget on Dec. 21 approved the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s long-awaited proposal regarding use of electronic onboard recorders (EOBRs) for compliance with hour-of-service regulations. The action clears the notice of proposed rulemaking for publication in the Federal Register.
According to FMCSA’s latest regulatory agenda, which was released earlier this month, the agency is proposing to incorporate new performance standards for EOBRs to “help ensure that performance standards for EOBRs are appropriate and reflect state-of-the-art communication and information management technologies.” The rulemaking also will consider the potential benefits and costs of requiring motor carriers to install and use EOBRs and evaluate alternative approaches, including mandating EOBRs industrywide, limiting the requirement to motor carriers with certain characteristics and allowing use of EOBRs to remain voluntary.
