The waiver is in response to closures of state motor vehicle departments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The extension grants CDL holders, CLP holders, and non-CDL drivers relief from the same motor carrier regulations as the initial March 24 waiver. Also, like the initial waiver, the extension does not allow CDL or CLP holders to extend their licenses if their license credentials or medical cards expired before March 1, 2020, or if their driver’s privileges have been suspended or withdrawn for traffic offenses. It also does not waive knowledge and skills testing requirements. FMCSA also reissued a separate Notice of Enforcement Policy,  \naffirming it will not take action against a driver for operating a commercial vehicle if the driver held a valid CDL on February 29, 2020, or against carriers employing those drivers.  \nFMCSA Extends HOS Exemption to July 14  \nOn June 8, 2020, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) extended its national emergency exemption for hours of service (HOS) to July 14. However effective June 15, 2020 the extension is limited to three categories of freight to support emergency response related to COVID-19—(1) Livestock and livestock feed; (2) Medical supplies and equipment related to the testing, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19; and (3) Supplies and equipment necessary for community safety, sanitation, and prevention of community transmission of COVID-19, such as masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, soap, and disinfectants. The extension excludes grocery restocking, fuel  \nand precursor raw materials, and other categories FMCSA deems non-emergency. The exemption does not apply to routine commercial deliveries,“including mixed loads with a nominal quantity of qualifying emergency relief” that has been added solely to get the benefits of the exemption.  \nFMCSA Temporarily Waives PreEmployment Testing Requirements  \nOn June 5, 2020, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration FMCSA granted a 3-month waiver for certain pre-employment testing conditions for recently furloughed drivers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Current regulations mandate a driver to undergo pre-employment testing for controlled substances, and the employer must receive a verified negative controlled substances test result before the driver can perform safetysensitive functions. However, there is an exception for drivers who have participated in a controlled substances testing program within the last 30 days and were either tested for controlled substances within the past six months or participated in the random controlled substances testing program for the previous 12 months. The waiver extends this exception period from 30 days to 90 days. FMCSA reserves the right to revoke the waiver due to drivers’ involvement in accidents or employers’ failure to comply with the terms.  \nOOIDA Petitions DOT To Facilitate Greater Broker Transparency  \nOn May 19, 2020, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) petitioned the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to initiate arulemaking to improve broker transparency regulations. Noting transparency is required by 49 CFR §371.3, the petition proposes the following measures: first, requiring brokers to  \nprovide automatically an electronic copy of each transaction record within 48 hours after completion of contractual service; second, explicitly prohibiting brokers from including any contrac","cbCaisv66aiETvC0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisv66aiETvC0","pdf",486635,"English","# FMCSA Extends Waiver for CDL Permit Renewal\n# FMCSA Extends HOS Exemption to July 14\n# FMCSA Temporarily Waives PreEmployment Testing Requirements\n# OOIDA Petitions DOT To Facilitate Greater Broker Transparency\n# FMCSA Issues Final Rule on Changes to HOS Regulations\n# FMCSA Adopts Crash Accountability Program","[{\"question\":\"What did FMCSA extend for CDL permit renewal waivers in 2020?\",\"answer\":\"FMCSA extended its waiver through September 30, 2020 for renewing expired CDLs, medical cards, and commercial learner’s permits due to state DMV closures during COVID-19.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the hours-of-service (HOS) exemption extended, and what freight categories were included?\",\"answer\":\"FMCSA extended the national emergency HOS exemption to July 14, but effective June 15 it applied only to three categories: livestock and feed; COVID-19 medical supplies and equipment; and supplies/equipment needed for community safety, sanitation, and transmission prevention.\"},{\"question\":\"What key changes did FMCSA’s final rule make to hours-of-service regulations?\",\"answer\":\"The rule expanded flexibility for the 30-minute break, adjusted the sleeper-berth provision to allow splitting the required off-duty time, extended the adverse driving conditions window, and increased the short-haul maximum on-duty period and distance limit.\"}]","Transportation Updates and Regulatory News (TURN) - June 2020 - FMCSA Regulatory Waivers and Compliance Updates | PDF",15]
