NRECA submitted comments with EEI and APPA on the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking entitled Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Parts and
Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Speed Limiting, proposed by the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NRECA, EEI, and APPA oppose the concepts
in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Utility drivers have above average safety
records, below average number of speeding violations and would be adversely
impacted by the cost of future technology if required of manufacturers, and the
cost of retrofitting existing vehicles.
