The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has extended and modified its emergency declaration for motor carriers that are providing direct assistance in support of coronavirus-related relief efforts. The agency announced that the modified declaration will take effect June 15 and remain in place through July 14. This modification scales back some of the trucking operations that were covered under the earlier exemption, which previously was extended through June 14. The initial emergency declaration was issued March 13, and then expanded March 18. The previous versions of the emergency declaration stipulated relief for a wider variety of goods, including fuel, raw materials, paper products and groceries. But FMCSA has concluded that those supplies no longer qualify on an emergency basis.
