Federal and State Service Centers ……………………………………………………...13 2 Introduction When emergencies happen, the affected area(s) often need additional support in order to help provide supplies, service the affected area(s) and address power disruptions. Much of this support comes in the form of commercial vehicles. As a result, states should develop plans and address how relief from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) can aid in the response effort. Certain FMCSR allow temporary emergency relief from the safety regulations of any motor carrier or driver operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) to provide direct emergency assistance during an emergency declared by a Governor or other authorized official. This guidance explains how this relief can be implemented under a declared emergency, what parts of the rules are waived, and how it is placed into effect. To further assist states in taking this action a sample executive order is included (see attachment 1). This order will need to be tailored to the circumstances and the statutory authority of each state. Also following the executive order are a brief list of suggested implementation actions which again should be adapted as needed to the policies and practices of each State. Emergency relief from the safety regulations has been commonly referred to by the states as a waiver of driver hours-of-service. However, for motor carriers and CMV drivers qualifying for the exemption, a declaration of emergency invokes a 100 percent exemption from all of the safety regulations contained under regulations 49 CFR Parts 390—399 (see below). ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Part 390—General Applicability (see attachment 2) Part 391—Qualification of Drivers Part 392—Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles Part 393—Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation of a CMV Part 395—Hours-of-Service of Drivers Part 396—Inspection, Repair and Maintenance Part 397—Transportation of Hazardous Materials - Driving and Parking Rules Part 398—Transportation of Migrant Workers Part 399—Employee Safety and Health Standards A summary of the provisions of each of these parts is provided below. When an emergency is declared, truck and bus activities involving transportation and other relief services for the immediate restoration of essential services (e.g., electricity, medical care, sewer, water, telecommunications) or essential supplies (e.g., food, fuel) are exempt from most of the FMCSR. 2 The emergency relief does not include transportation related to long-term rehabilitation of damaged physical infrastructure or routine commercial deliveries after the initial threat to life and property have passed. Motor carriers are not required to obtain approval prior to participating in the emergency relief effort. The regulatory relief is automatically granted without further action by any motor carriers who are supplying the area covered by the emergency declaration. 3 What is an Emergency? Under 49 CFR §390.5, the definition of an emergency means any hurricane, tornado, storm (e.g. thunderstorm, snowstorm, ice-storm, blizzard, sandstorm, etc.), high water, wind-driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, mud slide, drought, forest fire, explosion, blackout or other occurrence, natural or man-made, which interrupts the delivery of essential services (such as, electricity, medical care, sewer, water, telecommunications, and telecommunication transmissions) or essential supplies (such as, food and fuel) or otherwise immediately threatens human life or public welfare, provided such hurricane, tornado, or other event results in a declaration of an emergency by the President of the United States, the Governor of a State, or their authorized representatives having authority to declare emergencies; by the FMCSA Field Administrator for the geographical area in which the occurrence happens; or by other Federal, State or local government officials having authority to declare emergencies. Emergency relief means an operation in which a motor carrier or driver of a commercial motor vehicle is providing direct assistance to supplement State and local efforts and capabilities to save lives or property or to protect public health and safety as a result of an emergency. Do Governors need to take an action beyond issuing the emergency or disaster declaration? Once an emergency is declared the regulatory relief is automatically in effect even if the state does not explicitly request that this relief be granted. However a state may declare an emergency or disaster and take actions under the declaration stating that it provides this regulatory relief and specifying the commodities covered, such as fuel, equipment, or supplies needed to repair damaged energy infrastructure. It is the state's responsibility to designate if the emergency is declared in all or only part of the state. Governors are best suited to determine the need for a declaration of emergency in their state and have the authority to issue such a declaration. The rulemaking history goes back to 1992 in response to Hurricane Hugo. At this time, the first Federal regulatory relief standard was introduced. In 1995, it was amended in w ake of the response to Hurricane Andrew by allowing state and local authorities to be included. Are motor carriers exempt from the safety regulations throughout their route even though they may be driving through one or more states in order to provide relief to another state? A declaration of emergency by the Governor (or other authorized official) provides the temporary exemption to any motor carrier providing relief to a state (or affected area of a state) regardless of where the motor carrier's starting point. This means trucks/drivers passing through one or more states to service the needs of another state where an emergency or disaster has been declared are covered by the regulatory relief if they are hauling supplies needed in the recovery effort. In the event of a fuel shortage this would include any refined petroleum products, and any biofuels including biodiesel and ethanol. The only requirement is that the motor carrier is providing direct emergency assistance to the area in which an emergency has been declared. 4 Vehicle registration and fuel tax compliance are administered by the states through the International Registration Plan (IRP) and International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) respectively. Motor carriers should work with the states along their route to determine whether trip permits or emergency relief are available for registration and fuel tax. Truck size and weight relief is a state-by-state matter, where the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the lead Federal agency. Some states have size and weight or procedural reliefs in place for the emergency. Motor carriers desiring oversize/overweight permits should work with the states along their route. FHWA has more size and weight information available at www.fhwa.dot.gov. Are motor carriers required to have documentation on-board their vehicles identifying the drivers and vehicles used in the emergency relief effort? No. While not required, FMCSA recommends that motor carriers have documents to show to enforcement officials in the event the vehicle is stopped prior to reaching the scene of the. The documents may also be needed to enter into the emergency area. Drivers should have a manifest with them that clearly shows a destination for delivery of essential service or commodity in the state declaring the emergency. When the emergency declaration ends or no longer provides direct support, drivers must resume their compliance with all safety regulations. States can facilitate the implementation of emergency relief by notifying their motor carrier enforcement agency and the trucking industry that emergency relief from the safety regulations is in effect and for how long. States should make the emergency declaration and any relevant executive order available on a state website and provide a link to the documents and recommend, but not require, that motor carriers serving the emergency area should have a copy of the declaration with them to help facilitate their ability to assist in the recovery effort. The FMCSA website lists known emergency declarations in the "News and Alerts" box at the top of its homepage at www.fmcsa.dot.qov. How long does the emergency relief last? The emergency relief remains in effect for the duration of the emergency (as defined in 49 CFR 390.5) or 30 days, whichever is less. Only FMCSA Field Administrators may extend the 30-day limit for an exemption from the FMCSR if additional emergency relief efforts are necessary on a regional or local basis. Upon termination of support for the emergency, a driver may not drive until he or she has met the requirements of 49 CFR 395.3(a) and 395.5(a) and the driver has had at least 34 consecutive hours off duty when the driver has been on duty more than 60 hours in the previous 7 days or more than 70 hours in the previous 8 days. 5 What specific safety regulations are waived? Following is a summary of the safety regulations that are waived or exempted in a declared emergency. 49 CFR Part 390—General Applicability ♦ Defines which drivers and vehicles are covered by 49 CFR Parts 390—399 ♦ Establishes requirements for maintaining an accident register ♦ Establishes registration requirements to obtain a USDOT number ♦ Defines marking (identification) requirements for CMVs ♦ Defines recordkeeping locations 49 CFR Part 391—Qualification of Drivers ♦ Establishes qualification standards for drivers to operate a CMV including: Age and driver's license Employment application process Employment background checks Annual review of driving record Road tests Medical qualifications ♦ Establishes requirements for maintaining a complete driver qualification file 49 CFR Part 392—Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles ♦ Requires drivers of CMVs to comply with all State and Local traffic laws ♦ Establishes prohibition from operating a CMV while ill, fatigued, or while using or recently used alcohol or drugs ♦ Establishes standards for slowing and stopping at railroad grade crossings ♦ Establishes standards for using emergency signals and flares when a CMV stops or becomes inoperable at the roadside ♦ Establishes general precautions for the operation of CMVs 49 CFR Part 393—Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation of a CMV ♦ Establishes CMV equipment standards, including: Lights, reflectors and electrical equipment Brakes and braking systems Window/windshield glazing and construction Fuel systems Coupling devices Tires and wheels Frame and suspension systems Mirrors, windshield wipers, horns, exhaust systems and Other miscellaneous CMV parts and accessories ♦ Establishes standards for the proper loading and securement of freight 49 CFR Part 394—Reserved 49 CFR Part 395—Hours of Service of Drivers ♦ Establishes maximum driving limits for drivers of CMVs ♦ Establishes record-keeping requirements for drivers' hours-of service ♦ Establishes standards for hours-of service automatic on board recorders 6 49 CFR Part 396—Inspection, Repair and Maintenance ♦ Establishes for the proper inspection, repair and maintenance of CMVs ♦ Establishes prohibitions for operating a CMV in an unsafe mechanical condition ♦ Establishes record-keeping requirements for inspection, repair and maintenance activities ♦ Establishes qualification standards for persons performing inspection, repair and maintenance duties 49 CFR Part 397—Transportation of Hazardous Materials—Driving and Parking Rules ♦ Establishes requirements for the safe parking and monitoring of CMVs when transporting hazardous materials ♦ Establishes prohibitions regarding smoking in or around a CMV when transporting hazardous materials ♦ Establishes requirements for safe routing of a CMV when transporting hazardous materials 49 CFR Part 398—Transportation of Migrant Workers ♦ Establishes standards for the safe transportation of migrant workers ♦ Standards are a "streamlined" version of 49 CFR Parts 391—396 defined above 49 CFR Part 399—Employee Safety and Health Standards ♦ Establishes standards for safe entry and egress from a CMV ♦ Establishes testing and maintenance standards for the steps, handholds, and or deck plates used for safe entry and egress from a CMV While 49 CFR Part 390.23 allows for temporary relief from the safety regulations, the regulation does not allow FMCSA to suspend requirements for a Commercial Driver's License (49 CFR Part 383), controlled substances and alcohol testing (49 CFR Part 382) or motor carrier financial responsibility/insurance (49 CFR Part 387). Where is more Information available? For more information, contact the nearest FMCSA field office or state office. (see Attachment 3) State Implementation of Relief from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations The following is sample language that can be adapted for used in a state emergency, disaster, or energy emergency declaration where the state wishes to be explicit that Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) are waived (including Driver Hours of Service) along with other safety provisions to facilitate the recovery effort. This is only a sample and should be adapted as needed to conform to the statutory and regulatory requirements of each state. 7 FMCSA's eFOTM establishes the following for emergency declarations: Guidelines: 1. FMCSA will grant exemptions for emergencies that rise to a level that warrants waiving safety regulations. Situations such as a fuel shortage due to high demand or other economic issues would not generally constitute an emergency unless other extenuating circumstances such as a winter storm that interrupts deliveries is also present or where evidence that human life is threatened exists; 2. FMCSA's authority to issue emergency exemptions pursuant to 49 CFR 390.23 rests with the Field Administrators in the four Service Centers. 3. Once it is determined that an emergency exists, the FA or DA/SD will encourage the appropriate State agency to seek an emergency or disaster declaration from the Governor (or designated representative). 4. If the Governor (or designated representative) issues a disaster or emergency declaration under § 390.23, motor carriers providing emergency relief are automatically exempt from 49 CFR parts 390 through 399 pursuant to 49 CFR 390.23. In this case, FMCSA should not issue an emergency exemption. 5. Emergencies declared under § 390.23 provide no exemptions for intrastate motor carriers. 6. Exemptions for intrastate motor carriers must be issued by the appropriate State agency. 7. If an emergency is declared under § 390.23 by FMCSA or a State, the emergency exemption extends to all interstate motor carriers/drivers that are providing direct assistance in supporting the emergency relief effort even when operating outside the State or area in which the emergency exists. CVSA recommends the following process for States: 1. Governor or State Issued Declaration 2. Once a Governor (or designated representative) has issued a disaster or emergency declaration under 49 CFR 390.23 the state should contact the FMCSA Division Field Administrator and provide a copy of the declaration. In addition, the following information should also be provided: a. Effective dates of the exemption b. Entities Exempted c. Areas Involved d. Contact person for the state FMCSA will post the declaration information on their web page, http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov, showing the affected areas, types of carriers involved and effective dates of the exemption. 8 Attachment 1 Executive Order No. [Insert E.O.

(a) Parts 390 through 399 of this chapter shall not apply to any motor carrier or driver operating a commercial motor vehicle to provide emergency relief during an emergency, subject to the following time limits: (1) Regional emergencies. (i) The exemption provided by paragraph (a)(1) of this section is effective only when: (A) An emergency has been declared by the President of the United States, the Governor of a State, or their authorized representatives having authority to declare emergencies; or (B) The FMCSA Field Administrator has declared that a regional emergency exists which justifies an exemption from parts 390 through 399 of this chapter. (ii) Except as provided in §390.25, this exemption shall not exceed the duration of the motor carrier's or driver's direct assistance in providing emergency relief, or 30 days from the date of the initial declaration of the emergency or the exemption from the regulations by the FMCSA Field Administrator, whichever is less. (2) Local emergencies. (i) The exemption provided by paragraph (a)(2) of this section is effective only when: (A) An emergency has been declared by a Federal, State or local government official having authority to declare an emergency; or (B) The FMCSA Field Administrator has declared that a local emergency exists which justifies an exemption from parts 390 through 399 of this chapter. (ii) This exemption shall not exceed the duration of the motor carrier's or driver's direct assistance in providing emergency relief, or 5 days from the date of the initial declaration of the emergency or the exemption from the regulations by the FMCSA Field Administrator, whichever is less. (3) Tow trucks responding to emergencies. (i) The exemption provided by paragraph (a)(3) of this section is effective only when a request has been made by a Federal, State or local police officer for tow trucks to move wrecked or disabled motor vehicles. (ii) This exemption shall not exceed the length of the motor carrier's or driver's direct assistance in providing emergency relief, or 24 hours from the time of the initial request for assistance by the Federal, State or local police officer, whichever is less. (b) Upon termination of direct assistance to the regional or local emergency relief effort, the motor carrier or driver is subject to the requirements of parts 390 through 399 of this chapter, with the following exception: A driver may return empty to the motor carrier's terminal or the driver's normal work reporting location without complying with parts 390 through 399 of this chapter. However, a driver who informs the motor carrier that he or she needs immediate rest must be permitted at least 10 consecutive hours off duty before the driver is required to return to such terminal or location. Having returned to the terminal or other location, the driver must be relieved of all duty and responsibilities. Direct assistance terminates when a driver or commercial motor vehicle is used in interstate commerce to transport cargo not destined for the emergency relief effort, or when the motor carrier dispatches such driver or commercial motor vehicle to another location to begin operations in commerce. (c) When the driver has been relieved of all duty and responsibilities upon termination of direct assistance to a regional or local emergency relief effort, no motor carrier shall permit or require any driver used by it to drive nor shall any such driver drive in commerce until the driver has met the requirements of §§395.3(a) and (c) and 395.5(a) of this chapter.
