{"abstract":"FMCSA amends its May 9, 2011, final rule in response to certain petitions for reconsideration. The 2011 final rule amended the commercial driver's license (CDL) knowledge and skills testing standards and established new minimum Federal standards for States to issue the commercial learner's permit (CLP). The Agency received 34 petitions for reconsideration that covered a wide range of issues. FMCSA granted or denied each of these petitions, by orders available in the docket referenced at the beginning of this notice. Today's final rule addresses the petitions that were granted.","action":"Final rule.","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"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/03/25/2013-06760.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":383,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":384,"title":49}],"citation":"78 FR 17875","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective on April 24, 2013.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FMCSA-2007-27659"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"PRA Supporting Statement","document_id":"FMCSA-2007-27659-0119"},{"title":"Final Rule Regulatory Evaluation","document_id":"FMCSA-2007-27659-0118"},{"title":"4/14/2008 - This item was withdrawn as it was posted without the image.
