FMCSA extends drug and alcohol clearinghouse comment period

April 23, 2014

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is extending the public comment period for the Agency's February 20, 2014, notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) concerning the establishment of a Commercial Driver's License Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.

The Agency changed the April 21, 2014, deadline for the submission of public comments to May 21, 2014.

The extension was prompted by a request from the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association Inc. On April 15, OOIDA petitioned the Agency for a 60-day extension of the comment period.
