FMCSA Exempt From October Budget Cuts
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will not be affected by
the recession-related cuts to surface transportation programs under the
one-month Continuing Resolution, according to a legislative update by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance.
On October 1, Congress passed a Continuing Resolution that funded most
agencies of the federal government below 2009 levels through October
31. However, the FMCSA programs will be funded at regular 2009 levels
through the month of October, CVSA says.
Congress will act on both the regular 2010 DOT Appropriations bill and the SAFETEA-LU extension by the end of the month.
