Public Hearing on Hours of Service of Drivers; Change in Format

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of change in hearing structure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: By notice of May 5, 2000 (65 FR 26166), the FMCSA announced 
the scheduling of a public hearing on May 31 and June 1, 2000, for 
persons to present comments on the agency's proposed revisions to its 
hours-of-service regulations (65 FR 25540, May 2, 2000). The 
announcement said the hearing would be subdivided and the FMCSA would 
seek comments on specific topics during prescribed time periods.
    Because many persons have asked to speak on the general subject, 
rather than specific areas, it has been determined that all speakers 
may speak on the general subject of the proposed revisions at any time 
they are scheduled to testify during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. 
each day.

DATES: The hearing will be held on May 31 and June 1, 2000.
