49 CFR Part 393

[Docket No. FMCSA-2025-0108]
RIN 2126-AC82


Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; 
Retroreflective Sheeting on Semitrailers and Trailers

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA proposes to rescind the requirements for retroreflective 
sheeting on semitrailers and trailers manufactured prior to December 1, 
1993, which is the compliance date for the National Highway Traffic 
Safety Administration's (NHTSA) conspicuity rules applicable to trailer 
manufacturers. The retrofitting requirements were adopted by the 
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on March 31, 1999, and require 
that motor carriers engaged in interstate commerce install 
retroreflective tape or reflex reflectors on the sides and rear of 
semitrailers and trailers that were manufactured prior to December 1, 
1993, have an overall width of 2,032 mm (80 inches) or more, and a 
gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more. With 
the passage of more than 30 years since the NHTSA requirements were 
implemented, FMCSA believes the vast majority of trailers currently in 
use on the Nation's highways were manufactured after 1993 so the 
retrofitting rule is no longer necessary. This proposal would eliminate 
obsolete regulatory text without compromising safety.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 29, 2025.

III. Legal Basis

    This rulemaking is based on the authority of the Motor Carrier Act 
of 1935 (49 Stat. 543) (the 1935 Act) and the Motor Carrier Safety Act 
of 1984, (Title II of Pub. L. 98-554, 98 Stat. 2832) (the 1984 Act).
    The 1935 Act, as amended, provides that ``[t]he Secretary of 
Transportation may prescribe requirements for--(1) qualifications and 
maximum hours of service of employees of, and safety of operation and 
equipment of, a motor carrier; and (2) qualifications and maximum hours 
of service of employees of, and standards of equipment of, a private 
motor carrier, when needed to promote safety of operation'' (49 U.S.C. 
31502(b)).
    This NPRM would rescind obsolete regulatory requirements concerning 
the retrofitting of conspicuity material on trailers manufactured 
before December 1993. The Agency would rescind a rule for which the 
adoption and enforcement of is authorized by the 1935 Act.
    The 1984 Act provides concurrent authority to regulate drivers, 
motor

[[Page 22928]]

carriers, and vehicle equipment. It requires the Secretary to 
``prescribe regulations on commercial motor vehicle safety.'' The 
regulations shall prescribe minimum safety standards for CMVs. At a 
minimum, the regulations shall ensure that: (1) CMVs are maintained, 
equipped, loaded, and operated safely; (2) the responsibilities imposed 
on operators of CMVs do not impair their ability to operate the 
vehicles safely; (3) the physical condition of operators of CMVs is 
adequate to enable them to operate vehicles safely; (4) the operation 
of CMVs does not have a deleterious effect on the physical condition of 
the operators; and (5) drivers are not coerced by motor carriers, 
shippers, receivers, or transportation intermediaries to operate a 
vehicle in violation of a regulation promulgated under 49 U.S.C. 31136 
(which is the basis for much of the FMCSRs) or 49 U.S.C. chapters 51 or 
313 (49 U.S.C. 31136(a)).
    This proposed rule would eliminate an obsolete regulation 
concerning parts and accessories necessary for the safe operation of 
CMVs. It is based on section 31136(a)(1) because it deals 
retroreflective material on trailers manufactured before December 1, 
1993. The NPRM does not implicate the driver-centered requirements of 
sections 31136(a)(2) through (4). As the amendment proposed by this 
proposed rule pertains only to trailers which are unlikely to be in 
operation on the Nation's highways, FMCSA believes there will be 
stakeholder support for this initiative and that it is unlikely CMV 
drivers would be exposed to greater risk of being coerced to operate 
trailers that lack conspicuity treatments.
    Before prescribing any such regulations, FMCSA must consider the 
``costs and benefits'' of any proposal (49 U.S.C. 31136(c)(2)(A) and 
31502(d)). As discussed in greater detail in the ``Regulatory 
Analyses'' section, FMCSA has determined that this proposed rule is not 
a significant regulatory action.

IV. Background

History of Conspicuity Retrofitting Requirement

    On January 19, 1994, FHWA published in the Federal Register (59 FR 
2811) an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) requesting 
comments on issues related to the application of conspicuity treatments 
to trailers manufactured prior to the effective date of the NHTSA's 
final rule on trailer conspicuity.
    On August 6, 1996, FHWA published a subsequent notice (61 FR 40781) 
announcing that the Agency had completed its review of the comments 
received in response to the ANPRM and that it would issue an NPRM.
    On June 19, 1998, FHWA published an NPRM (63 FR 33611) to require 
motor carriers to install retroreflective tape or reflex reflectors 
within 2 years of the effective date of the final rule. Although FHWA 
drafted the NPRM prior to the enactment of the Transportation Equity 
Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which included a provision 
concerning retrofitting of trailers with conspicuity material, the 
agency reviewed section 4025 of TEA-21 prior to publishing the NPRM. 
FHWA considered the NPRM to be consistent with the statutory criteria. 
The final rule adopted on March 31, 1999, fulfilled the requirements of 
TEA-21.
    As stated above, the passage of more than 30 years since the 
implementation of NHTSA's requirements applicable to manufacturers have 
made the retrofitting requirements of 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) 393.13 obsolete.

V. Discussion of Proposed Rulemaking

    FMCSA would amend the FMCSRs to rescind the rules requiring the 
retrofitting of certain semitrailers and trailers with retroreflective 
sheeting. The semitrailers and trailers subject to the retrofitting 
requirements were all manufactured more than 30 years ago. Trailers 
manufactured on or after December 1, 1993, are required to be 
maintained to meet the NHTSA standards applicable at the time of 
manufacture. Accordingly, FMCSA's cross reference to NHTSA's 
requirements ensure that motor carriers will continue to be held 
accountable for compliance, regardless of how many years the vehicles 
are used in interstate commerce. However, the Agency believes the 
vehicles manufactured before December 1993 are long past their useful 
service life as are the corresponding retrofitting requirements the 
Agency now seeks to rescind.

VI. International Impacts

    Motor carriers and drivers are subject to the laws and regulations 
of the countries that they operate in, unless an international 
agreement states otherwise. Drivers and carriers should be aware of the 
regulatory differences between nations.

VII. Section-by-Section Analysis

    FMCSA would amend 49 CFR part 393 to rescind Sec.  393.13 
concerning retroreflective sheeting on trailers and semi-trailers 
manufacture before December 1, 1993. Motor carriers operating trailers 
manufactured on and after December 1, 1993, would continue to be 
required to maintain the retroreflective sheeting on those vehicles. 
However, the obsolete regulatory text concerning trailers and 
semitrailers manufactured before December 1993 would be eliminated 
given that it is unlikely these vehicles are still in operation.

VIII. Regulatory Analyses

A. Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review), E.O. 
13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review), and DOT Regulatory 
Policies and Procedures

    FMCSA has considered the impact of this NPRM under E.O. 12866 (58 
FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993), Regulatory Planning and Review, E.O. 13563 (76 
FR 3821, Jan. 21, 2011), Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, 
and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures. The Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
determined that this NPRM is not a significant regulatory action under 
section 3(f) of E.O. 12866, as supplemented by E.O. 13563, and does not 
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 
6(a)(3) of that order. Accordingly, OMB has not reviewed it under that 
E.O.
    Section 393.13 currently requires trailers and semitrailers 
manufactured before December 1, 1993, be equipped with retroreflective 
sheeting that meet NHTSA's requirements for trailers built on or after 
that date. This proposed rule would eliminate the requirement for 
retrofitting now that the majority, if not all, of these trailers are 
no longer in operation. FMCSA does not expect that any regulated 
entities would change their behavior as a result of this rulemaking, 
and therefore the proposed rule would not result in any impacts to 
regulated entities other than removing unnecessary language from the 
CFR. It could result in some cost savings by reducing the amount of 
time to become familiar with the FMCSRs. FMCSA assumes any realized 
cost savings to be de minimis. FMCSA considers this to be deregulatory 
in nature as it would result in a more streamlined CFR. FMCSA does not 
have data to estimate the reduction in costs that would result from 
this NPRM. FMCSA requests comment on any impacts that could result from 
removing the provisions identified in this NPRM.
    The Agency does not expect this proposed rule to result in benefits

[[Page 22929]]

beyond the baseline established in the FMCSRs.

B. E.O. 14192 (Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation)

    E.O. 14192 (90 FR 9065, Jan. 31, 2025), Unleashing Prosperity 
Through Deregulation, requires that for ``each new [E.O. 14192 
regulatory action] issued, at least ten prior regulations be identified 
for elimination.'' \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Executive Office of the President. Executive Order 14192 of 
January 31, 2025. Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation. 90 FR 
9065-9067. Feb. 6, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Implementation guidance for E.O. 14192 issued by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) (Memorandum M-25-20, March 26, 2025) 
defines two different types of E.O. 14192 actions: an E.O. 14192 
deregulatory action, and an E.O. 14192 regulatory action.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Executive Office of the President. Office of Management and 
Budget. Guidance Implementing Section 3 of Executive Order 14192, 
Titled ``Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation.'' Memorandum M-
25-20. March 26, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An E.O. 14192 deregulatory action is defined as ``an action that 
has been finalized and has total costs less than zero.'' This proposed 
rulemaking is expected to have total costs less than zero because it 
would result in a more streamlined and easy to read CFR, and therefore 
would be considered an E.O. 14192 deregulatory action upon issuance of 
a final rule. The cost savings of this rulemaking could not be 
quantified.

C. Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(g), FMCSA is required to publish an ANPRM or 
proceed with a negotiated rulemaking, if a proposed safety rule ``under 
this part'' \3\ is likely to lead to the promulgation of a major 
rule.\4\ As this proposed rule is not likely to result in the 
promulgation of a major rule, the Agency is not required to issue an 
ANPRM or to proceed with a negotiated rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Part B of Subtitle VI of Title 49, United States Code, i.e., 
49 U.S.C. chapters 311-317.
    \4\ A major rule means any rule that the Office of Management 
and Budget finds has resulted in or is likely to result in (a) an 
annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; (b) a major 
increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, 
geographic regions, Federal, State, or local government agencies; or 
(c) significant adverse effects on competition, employment, 
investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United 
States-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises 
in domestic and export markets (5 U.S.C. 804(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), as amended 
by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,\5\ 
requires Federal agencies to consider the effects of the regulatory 
action on small business and other small entities and to minimize any 
significant economic impact. The term small entities comprises small 
businesses and not-for-profit organizations that are independently 
owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and 
governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000 (5 
U.S.C. 601(6)). Accordingly, DOT policy requires an analysis of the 
impact of all regulations on small entities, and mandates that agencies 
strive to lessen any adverse effects on these businesses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Public Law 104-121, 110 Stat. 857, (Mar. 29, 1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No regulatory flexibility analysis is required, however, if the 
head of an agency or an appropriate designee certifies that the 
rulemaking will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. FMCSA has determined that this proposed rule 
would not have a significant impact on the affected entities. This 
proposed rule would rescind obsolete regulatory requirements concerning 
retroreflective sheeting on trailers manufactured before December 1, 
1993. Because most, if not all, of these trailers and semitrailers are 
no longer in operation, FMCSA does not expect the proposed rule to have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. FMCSA has concluded and hereby certifies that this proposed 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities; therefore, an analysis is not included.
    Consequently, I certify that the proposed action will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
FMCSA invites comment from members of the public who believe there will 
be a significant impact either on small businesses or on governmental 
jurisdictions with a population of less than 50,000.

E. Assistance for Small Entities

    In accordance with section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory 
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121, 110 Stat. 857), 
FMCSA wants to assist small entities in understanding this proposed 
rule so they can better evaluate its effects on themselves and 
participate in the rulemaking initiative. If the proposed rule would 
affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction 
and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for 
compliance, please consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal 
employees who enforce or otherwise determine compliance with Federal 
regulations to the Small Business Administration's Small Business and 
Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman (Office of the National 
Ombudsman, see https://www.sba.gov/about-sba/oversight-advocacy/office-national-ombudsman) and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness 
Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each 
agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on 
actions by employees of FMCSA, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). 
DOT has a policy regarding the rights of small entities to regulatory 
enforcement fairness and an explicit policy against retaliation for 
exercising these rights.

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) 
(UMRA) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their 
discretionary regulatory actions. The Act addresses actions that may 
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in 
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $206 million (which is the 
value equivalent of $100 million in 1995, adjusted for inflation to 
2024 levels) or more in any 1 year. This proposed rule does not contain 
Federal mandates (under the regulatory provisions of Title II of UMRA) 
for State, local, and Tribal governments, or the private sector of the 
adjusted inflationary amount or more in any 1 year. Thus, the 
rulemaking is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 
of UMRA.

G. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This proposed rule contains no new information collection 
requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

H. E.O. 13132 (Federalism)

    A rulemaking has implications for federalism under section 1(a) of 
E.O. 13132 if it has ``substantial direct effects on the States, on the 
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of 
government.''
    FMCSA has determined that this proposed rule would not have 
substantial direct costs on or for States, nor would it limit the 
policymaking

[[Page 22930]]

discretion of States. Nothing in this document preempts any State law 
or regulation. Therefore, this proposed rule does not have sufficient 
federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism 
Impact Statement.

I. Privacy

    The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005,\6\ requires the Agency 
to assess the privacy impact of a regulation that will affect the 
privacy of individuals. This NPRM would not require the collection of 
personally identifiable information (PII).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Public Law 108-447, 118 Stat. 2809, 3268, note following 5 
U.S.C. 552a (Dec. 4, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) applies only to Federal agencies 
and any non-Federal agency that receives records contained in a system 
of records from a Federal agency for use in a matching program.
    The E-Government Act of 2002,\7\ requires Federal agencies to 
conduct a PIA for new or substantially changed technology that 
collects, maintains, or disseminates information in an identifiable 
form. No new or substantially changed technology would collect, 
maintain, or disseminate information as a result of this proposed rule. 
Accordingly, FMCSA has not conducted a PIA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Public Law 107-347, sec. 208, 116 Stat. 2899, 2921 (Dec. 17, 
2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Agency will complete a Privacy Threshold 
Assessment (PTA) to evaluate the risks and effects the proposed 
rulemaking might have on collecting, storing, and sharing personally 
identifiable information. The PTA will be submitted to FMCSA's Privacy 
Officer for review and preliminary adjudication and to DOT's Privacy 
Officer for review and final adjudication.

J. E.O. 13175 (Indian Tribal Governments)

    This proposed rule does not have Tribal implications under E.O. 
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, 
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more 
Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and 
Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.

K. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

    FMCSA analyzed this proposed rule pursuant to the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The 
Agency believes this proposed rule, if finalized, would not have a 
reasonably foreseeable significant effect on the quality of the human 
environment. This action would likely fall under a published 
categorical exclusion and thus be excluded from further analysis and 
documentation in an environmental assessment or environmental impact 
statement under FMCSA Order 5610.1 (69 FR 9680), Appendix 2. 
Specifically, paragraph (6)(bb), which covers regulations pertaining to 
vehicle operation safety standards, equipment approval, and/or 
equipment carriage requirements. The public is invited to comment on 
the impact of the proposed Agency action.

L. Rulemaking Summary

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(4), a summary of this proposed 
rule may be found at regulations.gov, under the docket number.
