Summary:
FMCSA amends the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to remove the reference to rules under the Department of Transportation's "Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Program" from the civil penalty schedule in the FMCSRs. Instead, the civil penalty schedule will refer solely to the part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) where this program is incorporated into the FMCSRs. Because the rule does not impose any new material requirements or increase compliance obligations, it is issued without prior notice and opportunity for comment, pursuant to the good cause exception in the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
