Abstract
On March 17, 2009, FMCSA published a notice in the Federal Register (74 FR 11318) extending the effective date of its January 16, 2009 final rule entitled "Elimination of Route Designation Requirement for Motor Carriers Transporting Passengers Over Regular Routes" until June 15, 2009. This allowed for the solicitation of additional public comments on the final rule and gave the incoming Administration sufficient time to consider and respond to comments. After reviewing the one comment that was received, FMCSA decided to allow the January 19, 2009 final rule to go into effect. This notice addresses the comment that was submitted.
