All motor carriers and their drivers are required to comply with all other applicable requirements under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and applicable laws.  A copy of this Notice must be carried in each vehicle operated in the United States and be made available to any Federal, State, or local law enforcement or commercial motor vehicle safety official.  

This Notice acknowledges the need for expedited transportation of AA&E in support of overseas operations, the limited number of motor carriers approved for such transportation, the limited pool of cleared drivers, and the extremely short lead time for these shipments.  This Notice creates no individual rights of action and establishes no precedent for future determinations. 

This Notice is effective on April 29, 2022 and expires on May 31, 2022 or upon early termination by FMCSA, whichever is sooner.  FMCSA intends to continually review the status of this Notice and may take action to modify or terminate the Notice before May 31, 2022 if conditions warrant.
