SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 18, 2018, the ABA and the
UMA submitted a petition to FMCSA
requesting a determination that the SFO
vehicle inspection requirement is
preempted by Federal law. According to
the petition, the Airport Commission of
the City and County of San Francisco
has adopted Rules and Regulations to
govern the general conduct of the
public, tenants, employees, and
commercial users of SFO as their
activities relate to the possession,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

management, supervision, operation,
and control of the Airport. The current
Rules and Regulations became effective
on January 1, 2018 and contain
provisions that govern commercial
ground transportation operations (Rule
4.7). The petition states that under Rule
4.7, transportation companies that pick
up and drop off passengers at SFO must
apply for a Ground Transportation
Operating Permit and that to obtain a
permit, companies must first be licensed
with the California Public Utilities
Commission or have been granted
Operating Authority by FMCSA for outof-state carriers. The petition states that
SFO’s website provides notice of a
requirement that, upon application for a
Ground Transportation Operating
Permit and annually thereafter, ground
transportation vehicles must be
inspected by airport mechanics. An
offsite inspection is allowed, with fees
attached, for fleets of 25 or more
vehicles. The petition also alleges that
while the SFO website includes a ‘‘San
Francisco International Airport Vehicle
Safety Inspection Checklist,’’ neither the
checklist nor Rule 4.7 identifies the
standards used to determine whether a
particular vehicle component has
passed or failed the inspection, nor is
there any indication as to what overall
score is necessary for a commercial
motorcoach to pass such an inspection.
While the petition states that all
vehicles operating at SFO are required
to display a transponder and permitspecific decals, the petition seeks a
preemption determination concerning
only the vehicle inspection requirement.
Applicable Law
Section 31141 of title 49 of the United
States Code prohibits States from
enforcing a law or regulation on CMV
safety that the Secretary of
Transportation (Secretary) has
determined to be preempted. To
determine whether a State law or
regulation is preempted, the Secretary
must decide whether a State law or
regulation: (1) Has the same effect as a
regulation prescribed under 49 U.S.C.
31136, which is the authority for much
of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs); (2) is less
stringent than such a regulation; or (3)
is additional to or more stringent than
such a regulation 49 U.S.C. 31141(c)(1).
If the Secretary decides that a State
law or regulation has the same effect as
a regulation prescribed under 49 U.S.C.
31136, the State law or regulation may
be enforced. 49 U.S.C. 31141(c)(2). If the
Secretary decides that a State law or
regulation is less stringent than a
regulation prescribed under 49 U.S.C.
31136, the State law or regulation may

not be enforced. 49 U.S.C. 31141(c)(3).
If the Secretary decides that a State law
or regulation is additional to or more
stringent than a regulation prescribed by
the Secretary under 49 U.S.C. 31136, the
State law or regulation may be enforced
unless the Secretary decides that the
State law or regulation (1) has no safety
benefit; (2) is incompatible with the
regulation prescribed by the Secretary;
or (3) would cause an unreasonable
burden on interstate commerce. 49
U.S.C. 31141(c)(4). To determine
whether a State law or regulation will
cause an unreasonable burden on
interstate commerce, the Secretary may
consider the cumulative effect that the
State’s law or regulation and all similar
laws and regulations of other States will
have on interstate commerce. 49 U.S.C.
31141(c)(5). The Secretary’s authority
under 49 U.S.C. 31141 is delegated to
the FMCSA Administrator pursuant to
49 CFR 1.87(f).
Request for Comments
Although preemption under 49 U.S.C.
31141 is a legal determination reserved
to the judgment of the Agency, FMCSA
seeks comments on any issues raised in
the petition or otherwise relevant ones.
The Agency has placed the petition in
the docket.
Issued on: May 3, 2019.
Raymond P. Martinez,
Administrator.
