Motor Carrier Safety Administration Seeks Public Comment On Strategic Safety Plan

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is seeking public comment on its draft Strategic Plan for 2011-2016 - "Raising the Safety Bar." According to the announcement, which is attached here, the draft strategic plan is based on three core principles: 1) raising the bar to enter the motor carrier industry; 2) maintaining high safety standards to remain active in the industry; and, 3) removing high-risk carriers, drivers, and service providers from operation. Public comments are due by July 29, 2011. The docket number for the rulemaking is FMSCA-2011-0098, and public comments can be viewed and made under that docket number at http://www.regulations.gov/. The draft plan can also be accessed through the FMSCA docket 2011-0098.
