U.S. DOT to axe more than 50 ‘burdensome’ regulations at agencies including FMCSA

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced sweeping deregulatory action at agencies including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

On May 29, Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy announced that 52 “burdensome” regulations have been targeted for cuts across the FMCSA, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The rule cuts were enacted in response to a push from the Trump Administration for deregulation across the federal government.
