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":"Hours of Service of Drivers: Application for an Exemption From Cleveland-Cliffs Steel, LLC","type":"Notice","abstract":"FMCSA announces its decision to grant Cleveland-Cliffs Steel, LLC (Cliffs), formerly known as ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor, LLC, exemption from the hours of service (HOS) that allows its employee- drivers with commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) who transport scrap metal on two trucks between their production and shipping locations on public roads to work up to 16 hours per day and to return to work with less than the mandatory 10 consecutive hours off duty.

The renewal of the exemption allows Cliffs' employee-drivers with commercial driver's licenses (CDLs), who transport steel coils a fraction of a mile between their production and shipping locations on public roads, to continue to work up to 16 hours per day, and to operate with less than 10 consecutive hours off duty between work shifts. The renewal of the exemption also allows Cliffs to use metal coil carriers that do not meet the \"heavy hauler trailer\" definition, restrictions on the height of rear side marker lamps, tire loading restrictions, and the commodity-specific cargo securement requirements for metal coils. The Agency has concluded that granting the request for a renewal of the exemption will likely maintain a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level of safety achieved through compliance with the specific regulatory requirements.
