WASHINGTON, May 30 -- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has issued a proposed rule called: Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Tire Load Markings.
The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on May 30 by Sue Lawless, Assistant Administrator.
Summary: FMCSA proposes to revise the requirements for tires on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to clarify that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) do not require tire load restriction markings on their sidewalls. This change would eliminate confusion and clarify the scope of FMCSA's authority regarding the requirements for tires in the FMCSRs.
