RIN 2126–AB87
Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles:
Use of Seat Belts
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
FMCSA revises the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) by requiring passengers in
property-carrying commercial motor
vehicles (CMVs) to use the seat belt
assembly whenever the vehicles are
operated on public roads in interstate
commerce. This rule holds motor
carriers and drivers responsible for
ensuring that passengers riding in the
property-carrying CMV are using the
seat belts required by the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSSs).
DATES: This rule is effective August 8,
2016.
Petitions for Reconsideration of this
final rule must be submitted to the
FMCSA Administrator no later than July
7, 2016.

injuries avoided or reduced in severity
as a result of seat belt use; these benefits
are discussed later.
I. Executive Summary
A. Availability of Rulemaking
Documents
A. Purpose and Summary of the Major
Provisions
Section 393.93(b)(2)–(3) of the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) (49 CFR 393.93) requires
every truck and truck tractor
manufactured on or after July 1, 1971,
to comply with the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s
(NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 (49 CFR
571.208), relating to the installation of
seat belt assemblies. They must also
comply with FMVSS No. 210 (49 CFR
571.210), dealing with the installation of
seat belt assembly anchorages, and
FMVSS No. 207 (49 CFR 571.207),
addressing seating systems more
generally. Under FMVSS No. 208, trucks
and multipurpose passenger vehicles
with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) of more than 10,000 pounds
manufactured on or after September 1,
1990, are allowed by S4.3.2.1 an option
to comply by providing a ‘‘complete
passenger protection system,’’ but
nearly all CMV manufacturers choose
the second compliance option (S4.3.2.2)
and install a ‘‘belt system.’’ This second
option requires a seat belt assembly ‘‘at
each designated seating position.’’ In
short, the FMVSS and FMCSRs require
seat belts at every seating position in a
property-carrying CMV.
In addition, 49 CFR 392.16 requires
that a CMV that has a seat belt assembly
installed at the driver’s seat shall not be
driven unless the driver has properly
restrained himself or herself with the
seat belt assembly. In this final rule,
FMCSA requires that motor carriers and
drivers ensure that passengers riding in
property-carrying CMVs use their seat
belts when the vehicles are operated on
public roads.
B. Benefits and Costs
As indicated above, NHTSA requires
vehicle manufacturers to install driver
and passenger seat belts in large trucks.
FMCSA already requires drivers to use
their seat belts. However, the FMCSRs
were previously silent on the use of seat
belts by passengers in trucks. This final
rule requires that every passenger in a
property-carrying CMV use a seat belt,
if one is installed. The only quantifiable
cost of the final rule is the value of the
person’s time necessary to buckle the
seat belt, which is negligible. The
benefits of this rule are any fatalities or

For access to docket FMCSA–2015–
0396 to read background documents and
comments received, go to https://
www.regulations.gov at any time, or to
Docket Services at U.S. Department of
Transportation, Room W12–140, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington,
DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.
B. Privacy Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c),
DOT solicits comments from the public
to better inform its rulemaking process.
DOT posts these comments, without
edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–
14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.
III. Legal Basis for the Rulemaking
This final rule is based on the Motor
Carrier Act of 1935 (1935 Act) and the
Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984 (1984
Act). The 1935 Act (49 U.S.C. 31502)
authorizes FMCSA to prescribe
requirements for the safety of operation
and equipment standards of for-hire and
private motor carriers. This final rule is
directly related to safe motor carrier
operations. The 1984 Act (49 U.S.C.
31136) requires FMCSA to adopt
regulations to ensure, among other
things, that ‘‘commercial motor vehicles
are maintained, equipped, loaded, and
operated safely’’ (sec. 31136(a)(1)). This
rule will increase the safety, not only of
passengers, but also of CMV drivers
whose control of the vehicle could
otherwise be affected by unsecured
passengers potentially thrown about the
cab as a result of emergency steering or
braking maneuvers.
A 2012 amendment to the 1984 Act
requires FMCSA to ensure that CMV
drivers are not coerced to violate certain
provisions of the FMCSRs (sec.
31136(a)(5)). Coercion is now prohibited
by 49 CFR 390.6. Given the obvious
value of this final rule and the ease of
compliance, the Agency believes that no
one will be coerced not to wear a seat
belt. It should be noted that the 1984
Act also authorizes FMCSA to ‘‘perform
other acts [the Agency] considers
appropriate’’ (49 U.S.C. 31133(a)(10)).
