WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 -- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has issued a notice called: Hours of Service of Drivers: Application for Exemption; National Propane Gas Association.

The notice was published in the Federal Register on Dec. 2 by Derek Barrs, Administrator.

Summary: FMCSA announces its decision to deny the National Propane Gas Association's (NPGA) application for an exemption from various hours-of-service (HOS) requirements between December 15 and March 15 each year. FMCSA analyzed the application and public comments and determined that the exemption would not achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption.
