This rule also revises FMCSA's regulations governing financial responsibility of motor carriers to accurately reflect the requirements placed on these Mexico-domiciled motor carriers.

The revisions in this action are part of FMCSA's efforts to ensure the safe operation of Mexico- domiciled motor carriers in the United States. They will ensure that the FMCSA receives adequate information to assess a new applicant's safety program and its ability to comply with U.S. safety standards before it is registered to operate in the United States. The FMCSA will evaluate current certificate holders who re-file under these regulations to determine if they meet U.S. safety standards and should be permitted to continue operations within the border zones. As a result of these changes, the agency also will be better able to maintain an accurate census of registered carriers. Additionally, the regulations have been updated to reflect the transfer of motor carrier regulatory functions from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to FMCSA. 67 FR 12652 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2002-03-19/02-5890 02-5890 fr19mr02-21 RIN 2126-AA33 4910-EX-P Docket No. FMCSA-98-3297 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2002-03-19/02-5890 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-03-19/html/02-5890.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-03-19/pdf/02-5890.pdf Administrative Practice and Procedure Motor Carriers Buses Freight Freight Forwarders Hazardous Materials Transportation Highway Safety Insurance Intergovernmental Relations Motor Vehicle Safety Moving of Household Goods Penalties Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Surety Bonds 49 p. 12652 12700 67 FR 12652 Title 49 Part 368 49 CFR Part 368 Title 49 Part 387 49 CFR Part 387 RIN 2126-AA33 Revision of Regulations and Application Form for Mexico-Domiciled Motor Carriers To Operate in United States Municipalities and Commercial Zones on the United States-Mexico Border; Federal Register Vol. 67, Issue RULE 02-5890 II DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 2002-04-18 Docket No. FMCSA-98-3297 4910-EX-P 02-5890 Final rule.
