This bill aims to exempt certain automobile transporters, specifically stinger-steered combinations , from federal regulations requiring them to display warning flags on projecting loads. These vehicles are primarily used for transporting assembled highway vehicles . Upon the bill's enactment, section 393.87 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, which mandates these warning flags, will no longer apply to these specific transporters. Furthermore, the legislation directs the Secretary of Transportation to promptly revise this regulation to formally incorporate the exemption. This revision is to be carried out without the need for traditional notice and comment or any other formal rulemaking process, ensuring a swift implementation of the change.
