FMCSA amends its emergency declaration regulations to revise from 14 days to 30 days the length of the relief automatically triggered subsequent to a regional declaration of emergency by a Governor of a State, the Governor's authorized representative, or FMCSA. This action is in response to several petitions for reconsideration received after publication of a final rule in October 2023.
