Who Must Comply With DOT Safety Regulations?

Thursday, June 20, 1996

June 20, 1996

"Who Must Comply With the U.S. DOT Safety Regulations?" is the title of an updated brochure the Federal Highway Administration has re-issued for the guidance of people who operate trucks and buses.

The brochure identifies the three main regulatory areas -- the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, the Hazardous Materials Regulations and the minimum insurance requirements -- and the types of operations to which these regulations apply.

Copies of the publication are available at no charge from the Office of Motor Carrier Information Analysis (HIA-1), 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20590.

Sincerely yours,

George L. Reagle
Associate Administrator for Motor Carriers
