Action
Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking; request for comments.
Summary
The FHWA proposed in an earlier notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend its regulation of truck size and weight by increasing the distance that width exclusive devices could extend beyond the sides of commercial motor vehicles by one inch. However, due to issues raised by the comments, the FHWA decided to publish this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to solicit comments on revised regulatory language proposing to increase by one inch the width exclusive devices and to seek public input on crash statistics, safety studies, or other information related to such an increase.
