[Docket No. FMCSA-2025-0111]
RIN 2126-AC85
Removal of Self-Reporting Requirement
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FMCSA proposes to revise its regulations requiring commercial
driver's license (CDL) holders to self-report motor vehicle violations
to their State of domicile. With the implementation of the exclusive
electronic exchange of violations between State drivers licensing
agencies (SDLAs) in 2024, self-reporting is no longer necessary. This
action supports the Administration's deregulatory efforts.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 29, 2025.

III. Legal Basis
Congress enacted the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act (CMVSA) of
1986 (Pub. L. 99-570, Title XII, 100 Stat. 3207-170, 49 U.S.C. chapter
313) to improve highway safety by ensuring that drivers of large trucks
and buses are qualified to operate those vehicles and to remove unsafe
and unqualified drivers from the highways. To achieve these goals, the
CMVSA established the CDL program and required States to ensure that
drivers convicted of certain serious traffic violations are prohibited
from operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). Although State
participation in the CDL program is voluntary, CMVSA created incentives
by conditioning certain Federal highway and grant funding on States
maintaining a certified CDL program (CMVSA secs. 12010, 12011, codified
at 49 U.S.C. 31313, 31314).
One of the CMVSA's CDL program requirements was that States report
CDL holders' out-of-State traffic convictions to their licensing States
within 10 days of the conviction (CMVSA sec. 12009(a)(9) codified at 49
U.S.C. 31311). The CMVSA also established a requirement for CDL holders
to report these same out-of-State traffic convictions to their
licensing States within 30 days of the conviction (CMVSA sec.
12003(a)(1), codified at 49 U.S.C. 31303(a)). Congress authorized the
Secretary to issue regulations to implement these provisions (CMVSA
sec. 12018(a), codified at 49 U.S.C. 31317). The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), FMCSA's predecessor, subsequently issued
regulations, including 49 CFR 383.31(a), which implemented the
requirement that CDL holders report out-of-State traffic convictions to
their licensing States (52 FR 20574, June 1, 1987). FHWA did not issue
regulations implementing the States' reporting requirement at that
time.
On July 5, 1994, Congress recodified title 49 of the U.S.C. (Pub.
L. 103-272, 108 Stat. 745 (the 1994 Recodification Act)). Among other
things, the 1994 Recodification Act clarifies who had the obligation to
report CDL holders' out-of-State violations: the State or the driver.
The 1994 Recodification Act added language making it explicit that
States must report an out-of-State CDL holder's traffic conviction to
the licensing State within 10 days of the conviction (108 Stat. 1024,
49 U.S.C. 31311(a)(9)). However, Congress did not repeal the
requirement that individual CDL holders report the same information
within 30 days of conviction. The Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act
of 1999
[[Page 22904]]
(MCSIA) (Pub. L. 106-159, 113 Stat. 1748) amended numerous provisions
of title 49 of the U.S.C. related to the licensing and sanctioning of
CMV drivers required to hold a CDL and directed the Secretary to amend
regulations to correct specific weaknesses in the CDL program. One such
provision directed the Secretary to develop a uniform system for the
State-to-State electronic transmission of out-of-State CDL holders'
traffic conviction information. FMCSA subsequently issued regulations
implementing MCSIA and other statutory requirements, including CMVSA
section 12009(a)(9). Those regulations included Sec. 384.209, which
requires States to report out-of-State CDL holders' traffic convictions
to their licensing States as a minimum requirement of maintaining a
certified CDL program (67 FR 49742, July 31, 2002).
The FMCSA Administrator has been delegated authority under 49 CFR
1.87(e)(1) to carry out the CMVSA functions vested in the Secretary.
IV. Background
In 2011, as part of a previous regulatory review initiative, a
commenter identified as appropriate for review the requirements of
Sec. Sec. 383.31(a) and 384.209, which provided for both individual
CDL holders and States with certified CDL programs to report the same
information about CDL holders' out-of-State convictions. FMCSA agreed
with this suggestion. Although States were not required to participate
in FMCSA's CDL certification program at the time, all 50 States and the
District of Columbia maintained certified programs, due in part to the
financial incentives described in the Legal Authorities section above.
Additionally, States can be de-certified and lose their authority to
issue CDLs. In practice, this meant that compliance with both
Sec. Sec. 383.31(a) and 384.209 would result in a reporting
redundancy.
On August 2, 2012, FMCSA published an NPRM in the Federal Register
(77 FR 46010), proposing to eliminate this redundant reporting practice
by providing that, if a State in which the conviction occurs has a
certified CDL program in substantial compliance with FMCSA's
regulations, then an individual CDL holder convicted in that State
would be considered to be in compliance with his/her out-of-State
traffic conviction reporting obligations because the State where the
conviction occurred would report the violation to the CDL holder's
State of licensure. FMCSA finalized this rulemaking on April 26, 2013
(78 FR 24684). That final rule added current paragraph (d) to Sec.
383.31 and added new Sec. 384.409 to specify the means of notification
to commercial leaner's permit and CDL holders when FMCSA determines
that a State is not in substantial compliance, or when FMCSA issues a
decertification order prohibiting a State from issuing CDLs.
The final rule went into effect on May 28, 2013. More recently, the
Exclusive Electronic Exchange (EEE) federal mandate became effective,
requiring that SDLAs implement a system for the exclusive, electronic
exchange of driver history record information through the Commercial
Driver's License Information System. This includes posting information
about convictions, withdrawals, and disqualifications related to
commercial drivers. The purpose of this federal mandate is to align
FMCSA's regulations with existing statutory requirements set forth in
the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). States
were required to achieve substantial compliance with this requirement
by August 22, 2024.
V. Discussion of Proposed Rulemaking
FMCSA is proposing to remove the redundant requirement that a CDL
holder notify their State of domicile when they are convicted of
certain motor vehicle violations. States have been fulfilling this task
exclusively using electronic reporting requirements since 2024. FMCSA
has determined that it is not necessary to continue to have a
regulatory back-up mechanism in place.
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
This section-by-section analysis describes the proposed changes in
numerical order.
This NPRM proposes changes to Sec. 383.31, Notification of
convictions for driver violations. It would delete current paragraph
(a), which requires CDL holders who are convicted of certain motor
vehicle violations to notify the SDLA in their State of domicile of the
violation. As discussed above, this notification now happens at the
State/SDLA level, therefore it is redundant to require the CDL holder
to also make the notification. Current paragraph (b) would be
redesignated as paragraph (a), but the last sentence would be deleted.
Paragraph (c) would be redesignated as paragraph (b) and would be
revised to refer only to employer notifications. Current paragraph (d)
would be deleted, as it would no longer be necessary.
This NPRM also proposes a minor change to Sec. 384.409, to remove
a sentence referencing Sec. 383.31(a).
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.
FMCSA is proposing to remove the redundant requirement that a CDL
holder notify their State of domicile when they are convicted of
certain motor vehicle violations. States have been fulfilling this task
exclusively using electronic reporting requirements since 2024. FMCSA
has determined that it is not necessary to continue to have a
regulatory back-up mechanism in place.
This proposed rule would not result in additional costs on
regulated entities, but would result in cost savings for CDL holders,
who would no longer be required to notify their SDLA of certain
convictions. CDL holders currently submit this information to their
State of domicile, and not to FMCSA. As such, FMCSA does not capture
the information needed to quantify the reduction in reporting burden.
FMCSA requests data or any other information that could assist the
Agency in quantifying these costs savings.
This proposed rule would not impact safety because the reporting
requirement is redundant, and the notification will continue to occur
at the State/SDLA level.
B. E.O. 14192 (Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation)
E.O. 14192 (90 FR 9065, Jan. 31, 2025), Unleashing Prosperity
Through
[[Page 22905]]
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 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 as drivers
would no longer be required to report violations to their State of
domicile, and therefore would be considered an E.O. 14192 deregulatory
action upon issuance of a final rule. FMCSA is unable to quantify the
cost savings that would result from this rulemaking.
C. Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(g), FMCSA is required to publish an advance
notice of proposed rulemaking (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. No regulatory
flexibility analysis is required, however, if the head of an agency or
an appropriate designee certifies that the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Public Law 104-121, 110 Stat. 857, (Mar. 29, 1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This proposed rule would impact drivers. Drivers are not considered
small entities because they do not meet the definition of a small
entity in section 601 of the RFA. Specifically, drivers are considered
neither a small business under section 601(3) of the RFA, nor are they
considered a small organization under section 601(4) of the RFA.
Therefore, this rulemaking would not impact 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. This proposed
rulemaking would only remove unnecessary, duplicative regulatory
requirements from individual CDL holders, who do not qualify as small
businesses. Consequently, I certify that the proposed action would not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
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. Because this proposed rule would
not result in such an expenditure, a written statement is not required.
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). FMCSA has an approved information collection, OMB Control No.
2126-0011 ``Commercial Driver Licensing and Testing Standards,'' which
already accounts for the State transmission of violation data to a CDL
holder's State of domicile, and does not include costs for driver
notifications to their SDLAs of licensure. Information on this
collection can be found at www.reginfo.gov.
H. E.O. 13132 (Federalism)
A rule 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 rule would not have substantial
direct costs on or for States, nor would it limit the policymaking
discretion of States. Nothing in this document preempts any State law
or regulation. Therefore, this rule does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Impact
Statement.
[[Page 22906]]
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 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 (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, paragraphs
(6)(t)(1) and (2), which cover regulations pertaining to ensuring that
States comply with the CMVSA of 1986. The public is invited to comment
on the impact of the proposed Agency action.
