FMCSA Moves Up Projected Publication Date for Final ELD Rule

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has issued a supplemental report restoring Sept. 30 as the expected publication date of its final electronic logging device rule, moving it up from Nov. 9.

FMCSA spokesman Duane DeBruyne said the supplemental report was issued to correct "a simple administrative error." The rule will be effective two years after its publication date.

The agency typically has published its “significant rulemaking report” once a month, and most often changes in projected dates are delays.

In February the agency published its monthly report and moved the date from Sept. 30 to Nov. 9. It then issued the supplemental rulemaking report Feb. 27, changing it back to Sept. 30.
