What changed

The Office of Motor Carrier Safety (OMCS) has issued a notice concerning exemption applications from Ford Motor Company related to parts and accessories necessary for safe operation, minimum fuel tank fill rate, and certification labeling. The notice, published on December 20, 1999, grants these exemptions, which are effective immediately and will expire on December 20, 2001. The specific docket number for this action is OMCS Docket No. OMCS-99-5867.

This notice primarily affects Ford Motor Company and potentially other manufacturers seeking similar exemptions. While the exemptions are specific to Ford and have a defined expiration date, other manufacturers may need to monitor future regulatory actions or guidance from the OMCS regarding vehicle safety standards and fuel fill rates. No immediate compliance actions are required for entities other than Ford, as this is an exemption notice rather than a new regulation imposing obligations.
