## Abstract

Section 205(d) of the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 repealed the National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL) Compliance Program. It made the repeal effective on December 8, 1995, but provided that the Governors of certain States could delay the effective date of the repeal. This Final Rule provides that 23 CFR Part 1260, which contains the procedures for implementing the NMSL, is now applicable only to those States whose Governor delayed the effective date of the repeal of the NMSL. In effect, the regulation is rescinded for all other States. This Final Rule also rescinds the provisions of Part 1260 concerning speed monitoring, certification requirements and compliance standards.
