lamps from a low-level lighting
intensity to a high-level lighting
intensity 4 times in 2 seconds when the
brakes are applied rather than providing
steady burning lamps during the first 2
seconds, would enhance rear signal
systems. Higgins submits that pulsing
the rear brake lamps of a CMV may
significantly increase visibility and
reduce the frequency of rear-end
crashes, and thus would maintain a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or
greater than, the level that the CMV
would achieve without the requested
exemption.
On October 7, 2022 (87 FR 61133),
FMCSA denied Intellistop’s application
for an industry-wide exemption to allow
all motor carriers to operate commercial
motor vehicles (CMVs) equipped with
Intellistop’s module. FMCSA noted that
the decision did not preclude individual
motor carriers from seeking an
exemption from 49 CFR 393.25(e) to
purchase, install, and use Intellistop’s
device subject to terms and conditions
to allow sufficient monitoring of the use
of the device. Therefore, consistent with
the October 7, 2022, decision, the
Agency seeks public comment on
Higgins’ carrier-specific exemption
application.
A copy of Higgins’ application is
included in the docket referenced at the
beginning of this notice.

IV. Request for Comments
In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31315(b), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on
Higgins’ application for a five-year
exemption from 49 CFR 393.25(e) to
allow it to operate CMVs equipped with
Intellistop’s module which pulses the
rear clearance, identification and brake
lamps from low-level lighting intensity
to high-level lighting intensity 4 times
in 2 seconds when the brakes are
applied.
All comments received before the
close of business on the comment
closing date will be considered and will
be available for examination in the
docket at the location listed under the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.
Comments received after the comment
closing date will be filed in the public
docket and may be considered to the
extent practicable. In addition to late
comments, FMCSA will also continue to
file, in the public docket, relevant
information that becomes available after
the comment closing date. Interested

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency
that has acquired property or service
from a business concern and has failed
to pay for the complete delivery of
property or service by the required
payment date shall pay the business
concern an interest penalty. 31 U.S.C.
3902(a). The Contract Disputes Act of
1978, Sec. 12, Public Law 95–563, 92
Stat. 2389, and the Prompt Payment Act,
31 U.S.C. 3902(a), provide for the
calculation of interest due on claims at
the rate established by the Secretary of
the Treasury.
The Secretary of the Treasury has the
authority to specify the rate by which
the interest shall be computed for
interest payments under section 12 of
the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 and
under the Prompt Payment Act. Under
the Prompt Payment Act, if an interest
penalty is owed to a business concern,
the penalty shall be paid regardless of
whether the business concern requested
payment of such penalty. 31 U.S.C.
3902(c)(1). Agencies must pay the
interest penalty calculated with the
interest rate, which is in effect at the
time the agency accrues the obligation
to pay a late payment interest penalty.
