Enforcement of Motor Carrier Financial Responsibility; Withdrawal of Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

Withdrawal of advance notice of proposed rulemaking.

RSPA is withdrawing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) issued under Docket HM-199, Enforcement of Motor Carrier Financial Responsibility. The ANPRM solicited comments on the merits of a petition requesting DOT to promulgate a regulation to require each person, offering a hazardous material for transportation in a cargo tank, to obtain proof of financial responsibility from the carrier. This notice removes this action from the regulatory agenda, because there is sufficient evidence that carriers are already complying with financial responsibility requirements in the Federal motor carrier safety regulations.
