Stage: NPRM Previous Stage: None Abstract: The FHWA is proposing to amend its Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 regulations at 49 CFR part 24. The revisions are prompted by enactment of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Section 1521 of MAP-21 amendments included increases in statutory relocation benefits and a reduction of length of occupancy requirements. This proposal is intended to develop regulations on the use of those amendments. The FHWA is also proposing to update the Uniform Act regulations to reflect the agency's experience with the Federal-aid highway program since the last comprehensive rulemaking for part 24, which occurred in 2005. The updates include streamlining processes to better meet current Federal-aid highway program needs, and eliminating duplicative and outdated regulatory language.

Popular Title: Mexico-Domiciled Motor Carriers RIN 2126-AA34 Stage: Undetermined Previous Stage: IFR: Publication Date 03/19/2002; End of Comment Period 04/18/2002. Abstract: This rulemaking would change FMCSA regulations to govern applications by Mexican carriers to operate beyond municipalities and commercial zones at the United State-Mexico border. It would also revise the application form, OP-1MX, to be filed by these Mexican motor carriers. The revised form would require additional information about the applicant´s business and operating practices to allow the FMCSA to determine if the applicant can meet the safety standards established for operating in interstate commerce in the United States. Carriers that had previously submitted an application would have to submit the updated form. These changes are needed to implement part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). On January 16, 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court remanded this rule, along with two other NAFTA-related rules, to the agency, requiring a full environmental impact statement and an analysis required by the Clean Air Act. On June 7, 2004, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case, holding that FMCSA is not required to
