FMCSA provides driver history record guidance to states

Jul 20, 2010

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently published two Federal Register notices to provide guidance to states regarding the integrity and timeliness of driver history records. The notices responded to a 2009 audit of the Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) conducted by the Department of Transportation Office of the Inspector General.

For copies of the notices, go to www.regulations.gov and search FR Doc. 2010-16218 and FR Doc. 2010-16226 separately.
