On August
10, 2005, the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–
LU) 1 was enacted. Section 7105 of the
SAFETEA–LU provides that a
commercial motor vehicle operator
registered to operate in Canada or
Mexico shall not operate a commercial
motor vehicle transporting hazardous
materials in commerce in the United
States until the operator has undergone
a background records check similar to
that required of commercial motor
vehicle operators licensed in the United
States to transport hazardous materials
in commerce. This requirement becomes
effective 6 months after enactment of
the SAFETEA–LU, which would be
February 10, 2006. However, the statute
also gives TSA the discretion to extend
the implementation date an additional
six months if necessary. This Notice
announces TSA’s decision to extend the
implementation date until such time as
TSA issues a separate notice or
regulatory action to implement the
SAFETEA–LU requirements, but no
later than August 10, 2006.
Accordingly, the effective date of
section 7105 of the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU)
is extended to August 10, 2006, unless
TSA issues a Notice or other regulatory
action before that date with an earlier
date for implementing the requirements
under the statute.
