On March 18, 2022 (87 FR 15344), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published a correction in the federal register removing obsolete regulatory text from its June 30, 2021, Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) final rule (86 FR 34631). The section-by-section analysis in the March 7, 2016 (81 FR 11944) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning the ELDT requirements proposed that, upon the effective date of the final rule, the subpart setting out the old driver training standards would be removed from the regulations and the subpart reserved for future use. However, FMCSA omitted the amendatory instruction needed to remove and reserve the subpart from the December 8, 2016 (81 FR 88732) final rule. FMCSA corrects the omission, which was repeated in subsequent ELDT rulemaking notices, the most recent being the June 30, 2021 final rule. This correction is effective March 18, 2022, and is applicable beginning February 7, 2022.
