FMCSA To Prepare Environmental Impact Statement Addressing Effects Of Mexican Trucks in U.S.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced that it will prepare a programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) and a general conformity evaluation (GCE) to meet the requirements of a United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decision in Public Citizen v. Department of Transportation.
The court's decision prevented FMCSA from implementing safety rules governing the entry of Mexico-domiciled carriers into the United States until a more thorough environmental analysis had been completed, and effectively blocked the Bush administration from implementing the truck and bus provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
