Notice of public listening session.
Summary
FMCSA announces that it will hold a public listening session to solicit ideas and information on the issue of entry-level training for drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). Specifically, the Agency solicits input on factors, issues, and data it should consider in anticipation of a rulemaking to implement the entry-level driver training (ELDT) provisions in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, Public Law 112-141 (MAP-21). Wherever possible, the Agency requests that participants indicate whether the ideas identified are supported by research and data analyses, including cost/benefit considerations. The session, which will be held at the American Bus Association (ABA) Marketplace meeting in Charlotte, NC, will allow interested persons to present comments and relevant new research on ELDT. All comments will be transcribed and placed in the docket referenced above for FMCSA's consideration. The entire day's proceedings will be webcast.
