Today, August 1, 2024, the Department of Transportation (DOT) published a notice in the Federal Register withdrawing a direct final rule (DFR) that was published on June 21, 2024. Because DOT received adverse comments on the DFR, the rule has been withdrawn, and the provisions of the DFR will not take effect.
DOT published a parallel notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on the same day as the DFR, which proposed the same rule changes as the DFR. The NPRM invited comment on the substance of these rule changes. DOT will respond to comments as part of any final action taken on the NPRM. As stated in the DFR and the NPRM, DOT will not institute a second comment period on this action.
