On Friday the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced
that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration had submitted for OMB
review their final rule for the establishment of the Uniform Registration
System. The URS would serve as an on-line clearinghouse and depository of
information on, and identification of, motor carriers, brokers, freight
forwarders, and others required to register with the Department of
Transportation.
This rule has been long in the making with an initial
legislative deadline for publication in 1998. The initial advance notice of
proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) dates back to 1996 (61 FR 43816).
The initial NPRM was published in 2005 (70 FR 28990)
with a supplemental NPRM in 2011 (76 FR 66506).
Given the controversial nature of the expansion of FMCSA regulations
proposed in this rule, I suspect that it will take even longer than normal for
OMB to approve the publication of the final rule in the Federal Register.
