SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
confirms the effective date of the direct final rule, titled
``Compliance with Interstate Motor Carrier Noise Emission Standards:
Exhaust Systems,'' published on September 20, 2010, in the Federal
Register (75 FR 57191). This rule eliminates turbochargers from the
list of equipment considered to be noise dissipative devices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 20, 2010, FMCSA published a
direct final rule entitled ``Compliance with Interstate Motor Carrier
Noise Emission Standards: Exhaust Systems'' in the Federal Register (75
FR 57191). The direct final rule amends 49 CFR part 325 by removing
turbochargers from the list of equipment considered to be noise
dissipative devices. FMCSA used the direct final rule procedures (75 FR
29915, May 28, 2010) because it was a routine and non-controversial
amendment, and the Agency did not expect any adverse comments. The
direct final rule advised the public that unless a written adverse
comment, or a written notice of intent to submit such an adverse
comment, was received by October 20, 2010, the Agency would provide
notice confirming the effective date. Because FMCSA did not receive any
comments to the docket by October 20, 2010, the direct final rule will
become effective November 19, 2010.
Issued on: October 27, 2010.
Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy.
