  <description><![CDATA[ FMCSA amends the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations 
effective December 27 to allow commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers 
up to 11 hours of driving time within a 14hour, nonextendable window 
from the start of the workday, following 10 consecutive hours off duty 
(11hour limit). This interim rule also allows motor carriers and 
drivers to restart calculations of the weekly onduty time limits after 
the driver has at least 34 consecutive hours off duty (34hour 
restart). An IFR is necessary to prevent disruption to enforcement and 
compliance with the hoursofservice (HOS) rules when the stay expires, 
as well as possible effects on the timely delivery of essential goods 
and services. This IFR will ensure that a familiar and uniform set of 
national rules governs motor carrier transportation, while FMCSA 
gathers public comments on all aspects of this interim final rule, 
conducts peer review of our analysis, and considers the appropriate 
final rule that addresses the issues identified by the Court. <script type="text/javascript">
