Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Commercial Motor
Vehicle Operators
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FMCSA is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal
Register of December 8, 2016 (81 FR 88732), regarding the establishment
of new minimum training standards for certain individuals applying for
their commercial driver's license (CDL) for the first time; an upgrade
of their CDL (e.g., a Class B CDL holder seeking a Class A CDL); or a
hazardous materials (H), passenger (P), or school bus (S) endorsement
for the first time.
DATES: The effective date of this correction is February 6, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Richard Clemente, Driver and
Carrier Operations (MC-PSD) Division, FMCSA, 1200 New Jersey Ave SE.,
Washington, DC 20590-0001, by telephone at 202-366-4325, or by email at
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FMCSA makes minor corrections to fix
errors in the final rule published on December 8, 2016. In instruction
10, amending Sec. 383.73, the Agency corrects ``(b)(10)'' to read
``(b)(11)'' in both the instruction and associated regulatory
[[Page 2916]]
text. Additionally in Sec. 383.73, FMCSA changes paragraph ``(e)(8)''
to read ``(e)(9)'' in both the instruction and associated regulatory
text. In instruction 13, amending Part 383, the Agency changes ``Sec.
384.235'' to read ``Sec. 384.236.'' These changes are required because
as written, the instruction and associated regulatory text would have
deleted the recent changes published in the Federal Register on
December 5, 2016, in the final rule titled ``Commercial Driver's
License Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse'' (Clearinghouse) (81 FR 87686,
RIN 2126-AB18, Docket No. FMCSA-2011-0031). FMCSA makes these
corrections in this document to ensure the original language in the
Clearinghouse final rule remains in effect.
