Abstract
FMCSA eliminates the requirement for drivers operating intermodal equipment (IME) to submit--and intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) to retain--driver-vehicle inspection reports (DVIRs) when the driver has neither found nor been made aware of any defects in the IME. This responds to a joint petition for rulemaking from the Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association (OCEMA) and the Institute of International Container Lessors (IICL).
