<action>Notice of final disposition; renewal of exemption.</action>
<summary>FMCSA announces its final decision to renew an exemption requested jointly by the Automobile Carriers Conference (ACC) of the American Trucking Associations and the Auto Haulers Association of America (AHAA) to relieve motor carriers operating stinger-steered automobile transporter equipment from the requirement to place warning flags on projecting loads of new and used motor vehicles. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) require any commercial motor vehicle (CMV) transporting a load which extends more than 4 feet beyond the rear of the vehicle be marked with a single red or orange fluorescent warning flag at the extreme rear if the projecting load is 2 feet wide or less and two warning flags if the projecting load is wider than 2 feet. The exemption is renewed for 5 years, unless revoked earlier.</summary>
<dates>This renewed exemption is effective August 9, 2024, through February 15, 2029, unless revoked earlier. Comments must be received on or before November 21, 2024.</dates>
