TITLE: Electronic On-Board Recorders for Hours-of-Service
Compliance; Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; request
for comments; RIN-2126-AA89; FMCSA-2004-18940; (69 FR 53386);
SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) requests comments on potential amendments to its
regulations concerning the use of on-board recording devices
to document compliance with the Federal hours-of-service
rules. Because our current regulations do not reflect the
considerable advances in the technology used in current-generation
recording devices (also known as electronic on-board recorders,
or EOBRs), we seek information concerning issues that should
be considered in the development of improved performance
specifications for these recording devices. Our purpose
is to ensure that any future requirements would be appropriate
as well as reflect state-of-the-art communication and information
management technologies.
