[FHWA Docket No. MC-93-17]
RIN 2125-AD14
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; General; Intermodal
Transportation
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice; extension of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has received
petitions from APL Land Transport Services, Inc., ``K'' Line America,
Inc., and the Intermodal Safe Container Coalition seeking a delay in
the June 27, 1995, effective date of the FHWA regulations implementing
the provisions of the Intermodal Safe Container Transportation Act of
1992 [Pub. L. 102-548, 106 Stat. 3646, partly codified at 49 U.S.C.
5901-5907 (formerly 49 U.S.C. 501 and 508)]. Because of the
complexities of both domestic and international intermodal operations,
the FHWA believes these petitions have merit. The FHWA is, therefore,
administratively extending the June 27 effective date until September
27, 1995, to allow the agency sufficient time to consider public
comment on whether to further extend the effective date until 1996 as
requested by the petitioners. In the very near future, the FHWA will
publish a separate rulemaking in the Federal Register seeking comment
on the petitioners' requests.
[[Page 26002]] DATES: The effective date of June 27, 1995, for the
final rule published under Docket MC-93-17 on December 29, 1994, (59 FR
67544) is extended to September 27, 1995.
