{"abstract":"The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announces its decision to grant an application from Meiborg Brothers, Inc. (Meiborg, USDOT #190639) for an exemption to allow it to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) equipped with a module manufactured by Intellistop, Inc. (Intellistop). The Intellistop module is designed to pulse the required rear clearance, identification, and brake lamps from a lower-level lighting intensity to a higher-level lighting intensity 4 times in 2 seconds when the brakes are applied and then return the lights to a steady-burning state while the brakes remain engaged. The Agency has determined that granting the exemption to Meiborg would likely achieve a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety achieved by the regulation.","action":"Notice of final disposition; grant of exemption.","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/2024/06/28/2024-14262.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"89 FR 54151","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FMCSA-2022-0245-0021","comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This exemption is effective June 28, 2024 and ending June 28, 2029..","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FMCSA-2022-0245"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[],"agency_name":"FMCSA","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2024-06-28","updated_at":"2024-11-13T13:21:55.268-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FMCSA-2022-0245-0021","allow_late_comments":true,"id":"FMCSA-2022-0245-0021","comment_end_date":null,"regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"FMCSA-2022-0245","title":"Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Application for an Exemption from Meiborg Bros."}],"document_number":"2024-14262","effective_on":"2024-06-28","end_page":54156,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2024/06/28/2024-14262.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/06/28/2024-14262/parts-and-accessories-necessary-for-safe-operation-application-for-an-exemption-from-meiborg","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2024-14262?publication_date=2024-06-28","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2024-06-28/2024-14262/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":6,"page_views":{"count":63,"last_updated":"2026-04-22 10:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-06-28/pdf/2024-14262.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-14262.pdf?1719492335","publication_date":"2024-06-28","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2024/06/28/2024-14262.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"FMCSA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FMCSA-2022-0245","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"FMCSA-2022-0245","document_id":"FMCSA-2022-0245-0021","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Application for an Exemption from Meiborg Bros.","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2024-11-13T21:55:09Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FMCSA-2022-0245-0021","significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":54151,"subtype":null,"title":"Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Application for an Exemption From Meiborg Brothers, Inc., USDOT #190639","toc_doc":"Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Meiborg Brothers, Inc.","toc_subject":"Exemption Application:\n","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":89}
