Summary

Pursuant to Title 49 CFR § 390.25, I, William R. Paden, Regional Field Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, declare an emergency exists that warrants extension ofthe State and Regional Emergency Declarations continuing the exemptions granted in accordance with §§ 390.23 and 390.25 from Part 390 through 399 of the Federal Regulations (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations), except as otherwise restricted by this declaration. 

The emergency declarations were in response to the extreme cold experienced throughout some Western states from the polar vortex and the possible continuing effects of the arctic cold on people and property, including an immediate threat to human life or public welfare in areas of the Western United States. 

This emergency exemption is issued as a result of extreme arctic cold weather conditions causing continued shortages and interruptions in the availability and/or delivery ofpropane and diesel fuel in South Dakota. 

Expires on: In effect for the duration of the emergency or until 3/15/2014, whichever is less.
