Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Miscellaneous Technical Amendments

This final rule makes technical corrections throughout 49 CFR, chapter III, subpart B, to various rules containing outdated references to organization structure, contacts, and addresses. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is also updating authority citations, removing obsolete and unnecessary references, and making minor editorial corrections. These amendments are necessary due to the establishment of the FMCSA by the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 and the termination of the Interstate Commerce Commission under the ICC Termination Act of 1995. This action updates the Federal motor carrier safety and economic regulations to reflect the formation of the FMCSA and its current processes and requirements, but does not make any substantive changes to the affected rules.
