On October 19, 2009, FMCSA published a Notice of Petition for Determination inviting public comment on three petitions submitted by the American Trucking Associations (ATA) requesting determinations that the Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) identification requirements imposed by the State of New Jersey, New York City, and Cook County, Illinois, are preempted by Federal law (74 FR 53578). The Agency provided the public with a 30-day comment period scheduled to expire on November 18, 2009. Because of the level of interest this notice has generated, FMCSA extends the comment period until December 3, 2009.
