The provisional renewal allows Cliffs' employee-drivers with commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) who transport steel coils or scrap metal between the company's production and shipping locations to work up to 16 consecutive hours in a duty period and return to work following at least 8 hours off duty when necessary. The exemption also allows Cliffs to continue using certain specialized coil carrier commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) that do not meet the definition of a \"heavy hauler trailer,\" the requirements concerning the height of rear side marker lamps, tire loading restrictions, and the commodity-specific cargo securement requirements for metal coils. The relief from the requirements of 49 CFR part 393 applies only to Cliffs' specialized coil carrier CMVs; the scrap trucks remain subject to the applicable parts and accessories requirements. FMCSA requests public comment on the provisional renewal and consolidation of the exemptions.","document_number":"2026-20048","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/30/2026-20048/hours-of-service-of-drivers-parts-and-accessories-necessary-for-safe-operation-exemption-renewal-for","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-30/pdf/2026-20048.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-20048.pdf?1790685923","publication_date":"2026-09-30","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration","name":"Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration","id":181,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-motor-carrier-safety-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/181","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-motor-carrier-safety-administration"}],"excerpts":"FMCSA announces its decision to provisionally renew and consolidate two exemptions previously granted to Cleveland-Cliffs Steel LLC (Cliffs), formerly ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor, LLC, from certain hours-of-service (HOS) and parts and accessories..."},{"title":"Commercial Driver's License Standards: Application for Exemption; Agri-Tech Aviation","type":"Notice","abstract":"FMCSA announces its decision to deny the application from Agri-Tech Aviation requesting an exemption to allow its commercial learner's permit (CLP) holders who have passed the commercial driver's license (CDL) skills test but not yet obtained a CDL license to drive its commercial motor vehicles (CMV) without being accompanied by a CDL holder in the passenger seat.
