On October 04, 2016 (81 FR 68336), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published a final rule in the federal register to amend its regulations in 49 CFR Parts 355 thru 398 by making technical corrections throughout. FMCSA is making minor changes to correct errors and omissions, ensure conformity with Office of the Federal Register style guidelines, update cross references, and improve clarity and consistency of certain regulatory provisions. Further, this set of amendments removes all remaining instances of the term “common carrier” and “contract carrier” as required by the ICC Termination Act (ICCTA) and the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU). This rule does not make any substantive changes to the affected regulations, except to remove obsolete provisions. This final rule is effective September 30, 2016.
