Federal Register Description/Summary

Under existing guidance, FMCSA must use a form of arbitration known as ‘‘Night Baseball’’ for its civil penalty forfeiture proceedings in which the only issues remaining to be resolved are the amount of the civil penalty owed and/or the length of time in which to pay it. The Agency is revising the Guidance by eliminating the ‘‘Night Baseball’’ format. The Agency is also revising the Guidance to incorporate typographical and other minor changes.
