FMCSA requests public comment on Intellistop, Inc.'s (Intellistop) application for a 5-year exemption to allow motor carriers to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) equipped with Intellistop's lamp module. The Intellistop module pulses the required rear clearance, identification, and brake lamps from a lower-level lighting intensity to a higher-level intensity 4 times in 2 seconds when the brakes are applied, and then returns the lights to a steady- burning state while the brakes remain engaged. FMCSA is required by statute to publish a notice explaining each exemption request and such notice does not indicate what decision FMCSA will ultimately reach on the request. After reviewing the application, safety analyses, and public comments submitted, FMCSA will grant or deny the exemption.
