A bill to exempt stinger-steered combinations from a requirement to include warning flags on projecting loads.

Sponsored By: Senator Fischer, Deb [R-NE]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would exempt stinger-steered combinations that transport assembled highway vehicles from the warning-flag requirement in 49 CFR 393.87. It directs the Secretary of Transportation to revise that regulation as soon as practicable to reflect the exemption. The bill also says the Secretary may implement the exemption without using notice-and-comment or other formal rulemaking. The operative scope points to the stinger-steered combination definition in 23 CFR 658.5 and limits the change to combinations carrying assembled highway vehicles.
