Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse

• The rulemaking for a National Clearinghouse—supported by Congress and required by MAP-21—ensures that drivers who test positive or have refused to submit to testing, complete the return-to-duty process prior to returning to the road.

• The proposed rule would require truck and bus companies to report verified positive drug and alcohol test results, test refusals, negative return-to-duty test results, and follow-up testing.

• We expect to publish the notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register later this year.

U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Hours of Service July 1, 2013

• Eleven hours of driving and 14 hours on duty

• Requires that if more than 8 consecutive hours have passed since the last off-duty (or sleeper-berth) period of at least half an hour, a driver must take an off-duty break of at least 30 minutes before driving.

• For example, if the driver started driving immediately after coming on duty, he or she could drive for 8 consecutive hours, take a half-hour break, and then drive another 3 hours for a total of 11 hours. Meal breaks or any other off-duty time of at least 30 minutes qualifies as a break. .

U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Hours of Service July 1, 2013

• Requires that the restart cover at least 34 consecutive hours and

include at least two off-duty periods from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.

• The rules will limit the use of the “34-hour restart” to once a week (once every 168 hours).

• The restart cannot be used until 168 hours or more have passed since the beginning of the driver’s last restart.

U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Short Haul Drivers

| 17

•Effective August 2, 2013, FMCSA will no longer enforce 30 minute Break requirement against any driver that qualifies for either of the “short haul operations” exceptions outlined in 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1) or (2).

•The following drivers would not be subject to the 30-minute break requirement: All drivers (CDL and non-CDL) that operate within 100 air-miles of their normal work reporting location and satisfy the time limitations and recordkeeping requirements of 395.1(e)(1). Non-CDL drivers that operate within a 150 air-mile radius of the location where the driver reports for duty and satisfy the time limitations and recordkeeping requirements of 395.1(e)(2).

U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Electronic Logging Devices

• FMCSA is moving forward with a supplemental notice

of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) on electronic logging devices. This SNPRM will address employee harassment and meet the Congressional requirements in MAP-21.

• FMCSA published the SNPRM on March 28, 2014.
