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.
