Download as PDF 73494 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2024 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES vehicles that have been manufactured or modified and no longer meet the cribtype trailer definition in § 393.5. Accordingly, FMCSA concludes that the alternative cargo securement techniques proposed in GLTPA’s application are likely to achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety achieved without the exemption. VII. Terms and Conditions for the Exemption 1. This exemption is limited to motor carriers within the state of Wisconsin engaged exclusively in the transportation of shortwood logs loaded lengthwise using crib-type vehicles that have been modified or manufactured without front structures, rear structures, or which have an internal gap such as that created by a center-mounted crane for loading and unloading. However, it does not apply to any other cargo type or other trailer configuration. 2. Logs transported in a crib or bunk type vehicle without a front structure will require at least two tiedowns on the foremost stack. All other stacks will not require tiedowns provided they are loaded in accordance with 49 CFR 393.116(b)(2) and 49 CFR 393.116(c). 3. Logs transported in a crib or bunk vehicle without a rear structure will require at least one tie down on the rearmost stack. All other stacks will not require tiedowns provided they are loaded in accordance with 49 CFR 393.116(b)(2) and 49 CFR 393.116(c). 4. Logs transported in a crib or bunk type vehicle having an internal gap between stacks such that a log could theoretically move in the forward or rearward direction and not be continually in contact with at least two stakes, bunks, bolsters or standards will require at least one tiedown on that stack. 5. When one tiedown is used, it must be positioned about midway between the stakes or cross diagonally from the front to the rear crossing midway over the stack. 6. Motor carriers and CMVs operating under this exemption must comply with all other applicable FMCSRs (49 CFR parts 350–399), unless specifically exempted from a requirement. 7. Motor carriers operating under this exemption involved in any crash during the transportation of shortwood logs must notify FMCSA within 7 business days of the crash by email at MCPSV@ DOT.GOV, even if such crash is not a recordable crash as defined in § 390.5T. A. Preemption In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(d), as implemented by 49 CFR VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:45 Sep 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 381.600, during the period this exemption is in effect, no State shall enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with or is inconsistent with this exemption with respect to a person operating under the exemption. States may, but are not required to, adopt the same exemption with respect to operations in intrastate commerce. B. Termination The exemption will be valid for 5 years, unless revoked earlier by FMCSA. FMCSA does not believe that motor carriers and CMVs covered by the exemption will experience any deterioration of their safety record. However, should this occur, FMCSA will take all steps necessary to protect the public interest, including revocation of the exemption without prior notice. The exemption may be immediately rescinded if: (1) motor carriers and/or CMVs fail to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) or 31315(b). Interested parties possessing information that would demonstrate that this exemption or motor carriers operating under this exemption in the state of Wisconsin are not achieving the requisite statutory level of safety should immediately notify FMCSA by email at MCPSV@DOT.GOV. The Agency will evaluate any such information and, if safety is being compromised or if the continuation of the exemption is not consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) or 31315(b), will take immediate steps to revoke the exemption or impose additional requirements as part of the exemption.
