FMCSA Re-submits Unified Registration Final Rule to OMB

In an amazing display of inter-agency cooperation OMB announced that it had first rejected and a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration final rule and then accepted the resubmission, all in a single day. I mentioned the FMCSA Unified Registration rule when it was originally submitted to the OMB for review just a little over a week ago.

OMB rejected the original submission as being improperly submitted. The submission error was apparently insubstantial enough that FMCSA was able to correct the problem and resubmit the rule all in the same day. The OMB rejection announcement did not explain the reason that they decided that the original submission was improperly submitted.
