normally completed in field offices by
personal contact (face-to-face or

Application for Exemption; Landstar

Federal Motor Carrier Safety

ACTION: Notice of application for
exemption; request for comments.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has
received an application from Landstar
System, Inc. (Landstar) for an exemption
from the commercial motor vehicle
(CMV) drivers’ hours-of-service
regulations for its drivers when
transporting high-security cargo that
requires constant attendance. The HOS
regulation requires that CMV drivers
using the sleeper-berth exception
remain in the sleeper berth for at least
8 consecutive hours during one of the 2
rest periods used to accumulate the
equivalent of 10 hours off duty.
Landstar states that, for team-driver
operations, this prevents the driver in
the sleeper berth from attending to the
cargo while the other driver takes a
restroom break, and conflicts with
requirements for all persons to exit the
vehicle for a security inspection when
entering certain military installations.
FMCSA requests public comment on the
Landstar application for exemption.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before August 30, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 4007 of the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century (Pub. L.
105–178, 112 Stat. 107, June 9, 1998; 49
U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e)) provides
authority to grant exemptions from
motor carrier safety regulations. On
December 8, 1998, the FMCSA’s
PO 00000
Frm 00183
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
predecessor published an interim final
rule implementing sec. 4007 (63 FR
67600). On August 20, 2004, FMCSA
published a final rule (69 FR 51589) that
requires the Agency to publish a notice
of each exemption request in the
Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)).
The Agency must provide the public an
opportunity for public comment on the
request and to inspect information
relevant to the application, including
any safety analyses that have been
conducted.
The Agency reviews the safety
analyses and the public comments, and
determines whether granting the
exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than,
the level that would be achieved by the
current regulation (49 CFR 381.305).
The Agency must publish its decision in
the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)). If the Agency denies the
request, it must state the reason for
doing so. If the Agency grants the
exemption, the notice must specify the
person or class of persons receiving the
exemption, and the regulatory provision
or provisions from which exemption is
being granted. The notice must also
specify the effective period of the
exemption (up to 2 years), and explain
the terms and conditions of the
exemption. The exemption may also be
renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).
Request for Exemption
The hours-of-service (HOS)
regulations for commercial motor
vehicle (CMV) drivers in 49 CFR part
395 apply to motor carriers and drivers
operating CMVs in interstate commerce,
as defined in 49 CFR 390.5. Landstar
transports sensitive cargo for the U.S.
Department of Defense (DOD). Landstar
states this high-risk cargo must be
attended at all times as required by the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (49 CFR 397.5) and DOD
regulations.
Landstar states that, during teamdriver operations, the sleeper-berth
requirements for at least 8 consecutive
hours sleeper-berth use (49 CFR
395.1(g)(ii)(A)(1)) would not allow the
first operator (driving) to stop for a
comfort break because the second
operator (in the sleeper) would not be
allowed to attend the vehicle without
interrupting his or her 8 consecutive
hours in the sleeper berth.
Landstar also states that security
procedures at military installations
require both drivers to exit the vehicle
for a security inspection when the
vehicle enters the installation. For team
drivers using the sleeper-berth HOS
exception, the second operator would
have to interrupt his or her 8 hours of
