Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 3, 2009 / Notices Register of the reason why the Secretary’s decision on the application is delayed, along with an estimate of the additional time necessary before the decision is made.’’ The ATA and Massachusetts Department of Highways’ applications for a preemption determination are still under consideration by FMCSA. The Agency currently is conducting factfinding and legal analysis in response to the applications. Because of this additional fact-finding and legal analysis, it is impracticable to issue a decision within the 180-day timeframe. In order to allow time for full consideration of the issues raised by the applications, FMCSA delays issuance of its determination, and estimates a decision will be published in approximately 120 days. Issued on: February 25, 2009. Rose A. McMurray, Acting Deputy Administrator. [FR Doc.
