On September 3, 2019 (84 FR 45940) the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced it will hold a public listening session concerning potential changes to its hours-of-service rules for truck drivers.  On August 22, 2019, FMCSA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeking comment on proposed changes to its hours-of-service (HOS) requirements to provide greater flexibility for drivers who are subject to the HOS rules without adversely affecting safety.  The listening session will allow interested persons to present comments, views, and relevant research on topics mentioned above.  All comments will be transcribed and placed in the rulemaking docket for the FMCSA's consideration.  The session will be webcast to allow interested parties to participate remotely.  The listening session will be held on September 17, 2019 and will begin at 1:00 p.m. local time and end at 3 p.m., or earlier, if all participants wishing to express their views have done so.
