FMCSA Seeks Comment on Commercial Motor Vehicle Marking Paperwork
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
FMCSA is renewing the paperwork approval tied to rules that require commercial motor vehicles and intermodal equipment to display identifying markings, such as the carrier name and USDOT number. The notice does not create a new marking rule; it asks for public comments before the agency sends the information collection to OMB for review. Motor carriers, freight forwarders, passenger carriers, hazardous materials carriers, and intermodal equipment providers are affected. Businesses should check whether they want to comment on FMCSA’s burden estimates, including the expected time needed to apply required markings. Comments are due by July 1, 2026.
