Transportation Security Administration February 10, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This Notice announces an extension of the deadline for implementation of Section 7105 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users. This provision requires operators of commercial motor vehicles registered to operate in Canada or Mexico who transport placarded loads of hazardous materials or any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR part 73 within the United States to undergo a background check similar to that required for U.S. operators with a hazardous materials endorsement. The Transportation Security Administration is extending the implementation deadline for the requirements under Section 7105 from February 10, 2006 to August 10, 2006, unless the Transportation Security Administration issues a Notice or other regulatory action before that date with an earlier date for implementing the requirements under the statute.
