THE FIFTY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) hereby declares that the continuing

national emergency warrants the extension of Emergency Declaration No. 2020-002. This

extension continues the exemption granted from Parts 390 through 399 of the Federal Motor

Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) for the fifty States and the District of Columbia as set

forth below. This notice extends the exemption through December 31, 2020, subject to the

restrictions and limitations set forth in this Extension.

Emergency Declaration No. 2020-002 was issued following the declaration of a national

emergency by the President pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 5191(b) in response to the Coronavirus

Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the public health emergency declared by the Health and Human

Services Secretary, and the immediate risk COVID-19 presents to public health and welfare.

Emergency Declaration No. 2020-002 was previously set to expire on September 14, 2020.

FMCSA is continuing the exemption because the presidentially declared national emergency

remains in place, and because a continued exemption is needed to support direct emergency

assistance for some supply chains. FMCSA is extending the modified expanded Emergency

Declaration No. 2020-002 and associated regulatory relief in accordance with 49 CFR § 390.25.
