Abstract
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) amends the requirements regarding brake readjustment limits in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). This rule amends the readjustment limits, clarifies their application, and corrects an error in cross-referencing a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS). This rule responds to a petition for rulemaking from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA).
