The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said it will not meet Friday’s court settlement deadline to issue its final hours-of-service rule.
FMCSA said it continues to “work toward publication” of the rule, but the agency did not say when it planned to complete its work.
The agency said Friday that plaintiffs in the HOS lawsuit — including the Teamsters union and the group Public Citizen — agreed to extend the deadline.
“FMCSA will continue to work toward publishing a final rule as quickly as possible,” an agency spokeswoman said Friday.
The parties to a settlement agreement, which include FMCSA and the plaintiffs, will file their next status report with the court by Nov. 28, the agency said. FMCSA is part of the Department of Transportation.
