Public Hearing on Hours of Service of Drivers; Change in Format

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of change in hearing structure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: By notice of May 5, 2000 (65 FR 26166), the FMCSA announced
the scheduling of a public hearing on May 31 and June 1, 2000, for
persons to present comments on the agency's proposed revisions to its
hours-of-service regulations (65 FR 25540, May 2, 2000). The
announcement said the hearing would be subdivided and the FMCSA would
seek comments on specific topics during prescribed time periods.
    Because many persons have asked to speak on the general subject,
rather than specific areas, it has been determined that all speakers
may speak on the general subject of the proposed revisions at any time
they are scheduled to testify during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
each day.

DATES: The hearing will be held on May 31 and June 1, 2000.

ADDRESS: The hearing will be at the DOT Headquarters building, Room
2230, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.
