[Docket No. FMCSA-2015-0396]
RIN 2126-AB87


Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles: Use of Seat Belts; 
Correction

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA corrects an error in its June 7, 2016, final rule 
``Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles: Use of Seat Belts.'' The 
amendatory language in the final rule inadvertently limited the 
applicability of the requirement for drivers to use their seat belts to 
operators of property-carrying vehicles. Today's correction fixes the 
error such that drivers of passenger-carrying vehicles will continue to 
be required to wear their seat belts.

DATES: Effective August 8, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles A. Horan, Director; Carrier, 
Driver, and Vehicle Safety Standards, Office of Policy, Federal Motor 
Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, 
DC 20590-0001 or by telephone at (202) 366-5370.

Register of June 7, 2016, (81 FR 36474), Sec.  392.16(a) was amended to
