II. Legal Basis for the Rulemaking
This final rule is based on the
authority of the Motor Carrier Act of
1935 (Pub. L. 74–255, 49 Stat. 543,
August 9, 1935, now codified at 49
U.S.C. 31502(b)) (1935 Act) and the
Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984 (Pub.
L. 98–554, Title II, 98 Stat. 2832,
October 30, 1984) (the 1984 Act), both
of which provide broad discretion to the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary)
in implementing their provisions.
The 1935 Act provides that the
Secretary may prescribe requirements
for (1) qualifications and maximum
hours of service of employees of, and
safety of operation and equipment of, a
motor carrier [49 U.S.C. 31502(b)(1)],
and (2) qualifications and maximum
hours of service of employees of, and
standards of equipment of, a motor
private carrier, when needed to promote
safety of operation [section 31502(b)(2)].
This final rule is based on the
Secretary’s authority to regulate the
safety and standards of equipment of
for-hire and private carriers.
The 1984 Act gives the Secretary
concurrent authority to regulate drivers,
motor carriers, and vehicle equipment.
Codified in 49 U.S.C. 31136(a), section
206(a) of the Act requires the Secretary
to publish regulations on commercial
motor vehicle (CMV) safety.
Specifically, the Act sets forth minimum
safety standards to ensure that (1) CMVs
are maintained, equipped, loaded, and
operated safely [section 31136(a)(1)]; (2)
the responsibilities imposed on
operators of CMVs do not impair their
ability to operate the vehicles safely
[section 31136(a)(2)]; (3) the physical
condition of CMV operators is adequate
to enable them to operate the vehicles
safely [section 31136(a)(3)]; and (4) the
operation of CMVs does not have a
deleterious effect on the physical
