Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of comment period.
Summary
FMCSA is reopening the comment period for its November 4, 2024, NPRM, proposing to amend its November 16, 2023, final rule, "Broker and Freight Forwarder Financial Responsibility," by extending the compliance date for certain provisions from January 16, 2025, to January 16, 2026. FMCSA's forthcoming online registration system will be used to accept filings and track notifications, and this functionality will not be available in its legacy systems. As the new system is not expected to be available before January 16, 2025, FMCSA proposes to extend the compliance date to January 16, 2026, to provide regulated entities time to begin using and familiarizing themselves with the new system before compliance is required. The comment period is being reopened due to a request from the Small Business in Transportation Coalition.
