{"abstract":"The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) adopts, as final, certain regulations required by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century surface transportation reauthorization legislation. The majority of these statutory changes went into effect on October 1, 2012, while others will go into effect on October 1, 2013. It is necessary to make conforming changes to ensure that FMCSA's regulations are current and consistent with the applicable statutes. Adoption of the rules is a nondiscretionary ministerial action that can be taken without issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking and receiving public comment, in accordance with the good cause exception available to Federal agencies under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).","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/2013/10/01/2013-23517.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":350,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":381,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":383,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":384,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":385,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":386,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":387,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":392,"title":49}],"citation":"78 FR 60226","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: This final rule is effective Tuesday, October 1, 2013.
