Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of extension of
demonstration project.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: FMCSA announces the
extension of the demonstration project
allowing up to 100 Mexico-domiciled
motor carriers to operate beyond the
U.S. border commercial zones, and the
same number of U.S. carriers to operate
in Mexico, from one year to the full
three years allowed by statute, 49 U.S.C.
31315. Reciprocally, Mexico has agreed
to allow U.S.-domiciled motor carriers
in the demonstration project to continue
to operate in Mexico for up to three
years.

publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Secretary
of Transportation Mary E. Peters and
Mexico’s Secretary of Communications
and Transportation Luis Tollez
Kuenzler announced a demonstration
project to implement certain trucking
provisions of the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in February
2007. The project was expected to last
one year. FMCSA’s notice inaugurating
the project stated that ‘‘[t]he
demonstration project has a one-year
limit’’ (72 FR 23883, 23884, May 1,
2007).
Shortly thereafter Congress required
the Department of Transportation (DOT)
to satisfy a series of new conditions
before starting the demonstration
project. See section 6901 of the ‘‘U.S.
Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care,
Katrina Recovery, and Iraq
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000

Accountability Appropriations Act,
2007’’ [hereafter: ‘‘Iraq Supplemental’’],
Pub. L. 110–28, 121 Stat. 112, 183, May
25, 2007. Section 6901 imposed limits
on DOT’s use of appropriated funds to
grant authority to Mexico-domiciled
motor carriers to operate beyond the
border commercial zones. In particular,
section 6901(a) required that the
granting of such authority be tested as
part of a pilot program meeting the
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 31315(c) and
that the pilot program also comply with
the requirements of section 350 of
Public Law 107–87 (115 Stat. 833, 864,
December 18, 2001). Section 350,
enacted by the 2002 DOT
Appropriations Act and reenacted in
every subsequent annual DOT
appropriations act, set forth additional
requirements FMCSA must meet as a
condition of granting Mexico-domiciled
motor carriers authority to operate in
the United States. A pilot program
under § 31315(c) must include, among
other things, a ‘‘scheduled life * * * of
not more than 3 years.’’
As demonstrated in the Federal
Register notices of June 8 and August
17, 2007 (72 FR 31877 and 72 FR 46263,
respectively), FMCSA met all of the
conditions established by section 6901
of the Iraq Supplemental, including
compliance with section 350. The
demonstration project was initiated on
September 6, 2007, after Secretary
Peters submitted to Congress the
Department’s response to the report by
the DOT Office of Inspector General
verifying compliance with section 350,
as required by section 6901(b)(1) and
(b)(2)(A). FMCSA issued provisional
operating authority to the first Mexicodomiciled motor carrier the same day.
However, uncertainties concerning the
length and viability of the
demonstration project may have
deterred a significant number of
carriers, both from Mexico and the
United States, from seeking to
participate in the project. For example,
many Mexico-domiciled motor carriers
who previously expressed an interest in
operating beyond the border commercial
zones have not pursued such authority
through the demonstration project.
Additionally, we have been advised that
other Mexico-domiciled carriers who
received approval for project
participation are not participating
because they are reluctant to incur
substantial costs related to obtaining
insurance to operate in the United
States and developing a customer base
for long-haul operations, in the face of
these uncertainties. The result is that
the number of Mexico-domiciled
carriers operating under the
