FMCSA 07-24 update SMS website.pdf
On July 24, 2014 (79 FR 43117), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published a notice in the federal register announcing enhancements to the display of information on the public Safety Measurement System (SMS) Web site http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/ and responds to comments received in response to FMCSA’s Federal Register Notice, “Proposed Enhancements to the Motor Carrier Safety Measurement System (SMS) Public Web site” published on November 5, 2013 (78 FR 66420). The changes to the design of the SMS public Web site do not alter the SMS methodology or affect a carrier’s safety rating, which is subject to 49 CFR Part 385, Safety Fitness Procedures. The enhancements are a continuation of the Agency’s efforts, first announced in April 2010, to provide the motor carrier industry and other safety stakeholders with more comprehensive, informative, and regularly updated safety performance data. This notice explains the Agency’s modifications to the public SMS display, including four additional changes not originally proposed that resulted from comments received. The enhancements will be implemented when SMS data is updated in August 2014. The SMS display preview Web site will remain available until the SMS display changes described in this notice become operational. These enhancements are scheduled to be operational on August 2, 2014.
