SBTC has resubmitted its application for exemption from the ELD requirements for all motor carriers with fewer than 50 employees, including, but not limited to, one-person private and for-hire owner-operators of commercial motor vehicles used in interstate commerce. SBTC believes that the exemption would not have any adverse impacts on operational safety as motor carriers and drivers would remain subject to the hours-of-service (HOS) regulations, as well as the requirements to maintain paper records of duty status (RODs). FMCSA has analyzed SBTC's petition for reconsideration and the public comments received and has determined that neither the applicant nor the commenters provided information that would change the Agency's previous decision to deny the exemption. 85 FR 20562 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2020-04-13/2020-07730 2020-07730 fr13ap20-100 4910-EX-P Docket No. FMCSA-2019-0239 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2020-04-13/2020-07730 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-04-13/html/2020-07730.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-04-13/pdf/2020-07730.pdf 3 p. 20562 20564 85 FR 20562 Hours of Service of Drivers: Application for Exemption; Small Business in Transportation Coalition; Federal Register Vol. 85, Issue NOTICE 2020-07730 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Docket No. FMCSA-2019-0239 4910-EX-P 2020-07730 Application for exemption; final determination.
