49 CFR Parts 385, 390, and 391
[Docket No. FMCSA–2018–0224]
RIN 2126–AC15
Record of Violations
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: FMCSA amends its
regulations to eliminate the requirement
that drivers operating commercial motor
vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce
prepare and submit a list of their
convictions for traffic violations to their
employers annually. This requirement is
largely duplicative of a separate rule
that requires each motor carrier to make
an annual inquiry to obtain the motor
vehicle record (MVR) for each driver it
employs from every State in which the
driver holds or has held a CMV
operator’s license or permit in the past
year. To ensure motor carriers are aware
of traffic convictions for a driver who is
licensed by a foreign authority rather
than by a State, the Agency amends the
rule to provide that motor carriers must
make an annual inquiry to each driver’s
licensing authority where a driver holds
or has held a CMV operator’s license or
permit.
DATES: This final rule is effective May 9,
2022.
