| 99-33808 | Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Revision of Chapter Heading and Removal of CFR Part | Rule | This document amends the heading for chapter III concerning motor carrier safety regulations. On October 9, 1999, the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) rescinded the authority previously delegated to the Federal Highway Administrator to perform motor carrier functions and operations, and to carry out the duties and powers related to motor carrier safety vested in the Secretary by chapters 5 and 315 of title 49, United States Code; and redelegated that authority to the Director, Office of Motor Carrier Safety, a new office within the Department of Transportation (Department). The title of chapter III, therefore, was changed from ``Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation'' to ``Office of Motor Carrier Safety, Department of Transportation'' on October 29, 1999. On December 9, 1999, the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 established a new administration--the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)--within the Department to improve the motor carrier safety program, effective January 1, 2000. Accordingly, the title of chapter III is now being changed from ``Office of Motor Carrier Safety, Department of Transportation'' to ``Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation'' to reflect the statutory changes noted above. The document also removes regulations that reference the organizational structure of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) so that new regulations may be added for the FMCSA. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-33808/motor-carrier-safety-regulations-revision-of-chapter-heading-and-removal-of-cfr-part | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-33808.pdf | Transportation Department | 492 | This document amends the heading for chapter III concerning motor carrier safety regulations.
