SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The original notice of application and request for comments, published on May 23, 2024, at 89 FR 45732, contains on page 45733 the following two sentences “On an annual basis, it hires approximately 1,200 new drivers each year through driver training schools. Covenant Logistics estimates that approximately 2,000 drivers annually would operate CMVs under the requested exemption.” FMCSA is correcting these sentences to read: “On an annual basis, it hires approximately 2,400 new drivers each year through driver training schools. Covenant Logistics estimates that approximately 4,000 drivers annually would operate CMVs under the requested exemption.”
