Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance; Periodic Inspection of Commercial Motor Vehicles

Acceptance of State of Ohio bus inspection programs and republication of accepted State programs.

The FMCSA announces it accepts the State of Ohio's periodic inspection program for buses. The FMCSA previously accepted Ohio's inspection program for church buses and added it to the list of programs that are comparable to, or as effective as, the Federal periodic inspection requirements contained in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). The state has since expanded its program and now requires that all buses undergo an annual inspection by the Ohio State Patrol. This notice also publishes the list of all inspection programs that meet the FMCSR requirement.
