Sec. 390.25  Extension of relief from regulations--emergencies.



    The FMCSA Field Administrator may extend the 30-day time period of 

the exemption contained in Sec. 390.23(a)(1), but not the 5-day time 

period contained in Sec. 390.23(a)(2) or the 24-hour period contained 

in Sec. 390.23(a)(3). Any motor carrier or driver seeking to extend the 

30-day limit shall obtain approval from the FMCSA Field Administrator in 

the region in which the motor carrier's principal place of business is 

located before the expiration of the 30-day period. The motor carrier or 

driver shall give full details of the additional relief requested. The 

FMCSA Field Administrator shall determine if such relief is necessary 

taking into account both the severity of the ongoing emergency and the 

nature of the relief services to be provided by the carrier or driver. 

If the FMCSA Field Administrator approves an extension of the exemption, 

he or she shall establish a new time limit and place on the motor 

carrier or driver any other restrictions deemed necessary.
