Abstract
On March 10, 1995, we published in the Federal Register (60 FR 13297) a final rule establishing stopping distance requirements for hydraulically-braked vehicles with gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds. The requirements specified the distances in which different types of medium and heavy vehicles must come to a stop from 60 mph. There was an error in that rule with regard to Table II--Stopping Distances, which contains the applicable stopping distance requirements. The superscripts in the table identifying specifications for school buses were misplaced. This rule amends the hydraulic brake standard to correct the location of the superscripts in Table II.
