[Docket No. FMCSA-2007-28055]


Demonstration Project on NAFTA Trucking Provisions

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

ACTION: Notice; extension of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The FMCSA announces an extension of the comment period for its 
June 8 notice concerning a project to demonstrate the ability of 
Mexico-domiciled motor carriers to operate safely in the United States 
beyond the commercial zones. On May 1, 2007, FMCSA published a notice 
in the Federal Register announcing the demonstration project as part of 
the Agency's implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement 
(NAFTA) cross-border trucking provisions. On June 8, 2007, FMCSA 
published a second notice adding certain details concerning the 
demonstration project. The FMCSA extends the comment period on the June 
8 notice in order to give the public more time to review supplemental 
information the Agency added to the docket; and because of technical 
problems associated with the relocation of the computers that host the 
electronic docket, which interfered with access to the Docket 
Management System (DMS).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 9, 2007.
