{"abstract":"FMCSA delays the effective and compliance dates for its August 23, 2013, Unified Registration System (URS) final rule. Because FMCSA changes the effective date (the actual date when the regulatory text that appears in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) will be changed) and makes technical corrections and conforming amendments to the 2013 regulatory text, the Agency has determined that it is in the best interest of the regulated entities, our State partners and the general public to present the full text of the sections affected. The 2013 URS final rule was issued to improve the registration process for motor carriers, property brokers, freight forwarders, Intermodal Equipment Providers (IEPs), hazardous materials safety permit (HMSP) applicants and cargo tank facilities required to register with FMCSA, and streamline the existing Federal registration processes to ensure the Agency can more efficiently track these entities. Today's final rule delays the implementation of the 2013 final rule in order to allow FMCSA additional time to complete the information technology (IT) systems work required to fully implement that rule.","action":"Final rule; extension of effective dates.","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/2015/10/21/2015-26625.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":360,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":365,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":366,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":368,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":385,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":387,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":390,"title":49},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":392,"title":49}],"citation":"80 FR 63695","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Dates: The effective date of this rule is September 30, 2016, except for Sec.
