The rule is still hung up at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget. It was projected by the DOT in an October-issued report to clear there last Monday, Oct. 26.
In February, FMCSA projected a publication date of Nov. 9, before immediately reversing course and changing its forecasted publication date back to Sept. 30 — the date the agency set last fall as its target publication date.
The DOT should issue next week new projected publication dates for its current rulemakings, which could offer a new date to expect an e-log rule, if the agency doesn’t publish it before then.
