comment to the public docket requesting that the comment period be 
extended. OOIDA stated:
    This will give drivers and other members of the public sufficient 
time to collect and submit leasing information. We also believe 
extending the comment period will allow feedback from OOIDA members and 
other drivers who will be attending the Mid-America Trucking Show that 
will be held March 21st through 23rd in Louisville, Kentucky.
    FMCSA believes it appropriate to extend the March 18, 2024, 
deadline to provide interested parties additional time to submit 
responses to the docket. Therefore, FMCSA extends the comment period 
until April 2, 2024.
