,,ii #aafth ,,congress #ast ,session ,s4 #cjje ,,in ,,the ,,senate ,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states ,december #aj1 #bjai,mr4 ,isakson 7for himself and ,mr4 ,coons7 introduced the following bill2 which was read twice and referred to the ,committee on ,commerce1 ,science1 and ,transportation ,a ,,bill ,to require the ,secretary of ,transportation to promulgate standards and regulations requiring all new commercial motor vehicles to be equipped with technology to limit maximum operating speed1 to require existing speed-limiting technologies already installed in commercial motor vehicles manufactured after #aiib to be used while in operation1 and to require that the maximum safe operating speed of commercial motor vehicles shall not exceed #fe miles per hour1 or #gj miles per hour with certain safety technologies4 #a4 ,short title ,this ,act may be cited as the ,cullum ,owings ,large ,truck ,safe ,operating ,speed ,act of #bjai4 #b4 ,federal motor vehicle safety standard and ,federal motor carrier safety regulation for speed-limiting technologies 7a7 ,findings ,congress finds that-- 7#a7 according to the ,federal ,motor ,carrier ,safety ,administration1 during the period beginning on ,january #a1 #bjjd1 and ending on ,december #ca1 #bjac1 #aj1ddj people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in which the speed of a commercial motor vehicle likely contributed to severity2 7#b7 a #bjjg survey of truck drivers by the ,insurance ,institute for ,highway ,safety determined that #fd percent of the drivers were in favor of a speed-limiting requirement2 7#c7 according to a #bjab study commissioned by the ,federal ,motor ,carrier ,safety ,administration1 trucks not using a speed-limiting technology had a speed limit-relevant crash rate almost #b times higher than the rate of trucks using a speed-limiting technology2 7#d7 speed-limiting devices have been required to be installed and used on commercial motor vehicles throughout the world1 including in-- 7,a7 ,australia1 which has required the use of those devices since #aiij2 7,b7 the ,united ,kingdom1 which has required the use of those devices since #aiib2 and 7,c7 the ,european ,union1 which has required the use of those devices since #aiid2 and 7#e7 the ,department of ,transportation has been examining the issues involving speed-limiting technologies since at least #bjjf4 7b7 ,definitions ,in this section3 7#a7 ,adaptive cruise control system ,the term adaptive cruise control system means a system on a commercial motor vehicle that is designed-- 7,a7 to maintain a set speed2 and 7,b7 when applicable1 to adjust the set speed to maintain a specified distance from a lead vehicle4 7#b7 ,automatic emergency braking system ,the term automatic emergency braking system means a system on a commercial motor vehicle that-- 7,a7 detects potential collisions2 7,b7 provides to the driver a warning of each detected potential collision2 and 7,c7 applies brakes automatically when a forward collision is imminent4 7#c7 ,commercial motor vehicle ,the term commercial motor vehicle means a motor vehicle that-- 7,a7 is used in interstate commerce2 and 7,b7 has a gross vehicle weight rating or a gross vehicle weight of not less than #bf1jja pounds4 7#d7 ,secretary ,the term ,secretary means the ,secretary of ,transportation4 7#e7 ,speed-limiting technology ,the term speed-limiting technology means a technology that prevents a commercial motor vehicle from exceeding a preprogrammed maximum speed4 7c7 ,federal motor vehicle safety standard and motor carrier safety regulation 7#a7 ,in general ,not later than #a year after the date of enactment of this ,act1 the ,secretary shall-- 7,a7 acting through the ,administrator of the ,national ,highway ,traffic ,safety ,administration1 issue a final rule that-- 7i7 establishes a ,federal motor vehicle safety standard that requires that all commercial motor vehicles manufactured after the effective date of the standard shall be equipped with a speed-limiting technology2 and 7ii7 prescribes performance standards for speed-limiting technologies1 automatic emergency braking systems1 and adaptive cruise control systems that reduce or mitigate collisions at speeds of not faster than #gj miles per hour2 and 7,b7 acting through the ,administrator of the ,federal ,motor ,carrier ,safety ,administration1 issue a final rule that establishes a ,federal motor carrier safety regulation that requires that any existing speed-limiting technology already installed in a commercial motor vehicle manufactured after ,december #ca1 #aiib1 shall be used at any time during which the commercial motor vehicle is in operation1 in accordance with paragraph 7#b74 7#b7 ,requirements ,in issuing a final rule pursuant to paragraph 7#a71 the ,secretary shall-- 7,a7 include requirements to ensure that each speed-limiting technology-- 7i7 accurately measures the speed of the applicable commercial motor vehicle2 and 7ii7 maintains a maximum speed of not faster than #fe miles per hour1 or not faster than #gj miles per hour with the use of an adaptive cruise control system and an automatic emergency braking system1 to ensure the safety of commercial motor vehicle drivers and the public1 regardless of whether the speed-limiting technology was installed in the commercial motor vehicle-- 7,i7 prior to the effective date of the standard or regulation2 or 7,,ii7 for purposes of achieving compliance with the standard under paragraph 7#a77;,a72 and 7,b7 as necessary1 amend any ,federal motor vehicle safety standards or ,federal motor carrier safety regulations to require that all commercial motor vehicles shall travel at a speed of not faster than-- 7i7 #fe miles per hour2 or 7ii7 #gj miles per hour with the use of adaptive cruise control systems and automatic emergency braking systems4 7#c7 ,secretarial review 7,a7 ,in general ,not less frequently than once every #e years1 the ,secretary shall conduct a review of all applicable ,federal speed-governing regulations1 taking into consideration-- 7i7 deployed safety technologies available in commercial motor vehicles2 7ii7 the overall impact of the safety technologies described in clause 7i7 on highway safety2 and 7iii7 available data relating to the use of speed-limiting technologies by commercial motor vehicles4 7,b7 ,purpose ,the purpose of each review under this paragraph shall be to ensure that proven technologies and data are considered in the context of speed-governing regulations to enhance road safety4 7,c7 ,recommendations2 publication ,on conclusion of each review under this paragraph1 the ,secretary shall-- 7i7 submit to ,congress recommendations for improvement of ,federal speed-governing regulations1 if any2 and 7ii7 publish and provide an opportunity for public comment regarding the findings of the review and recommendations1 if any4 7d7 ,implementation 7#a7 ,in general ,not later than #a year after the date of enactment of this ,act1 each commercial motor vehicle that is subject to the standard established under subsection 7c77#a77;,a7 shall ensure that a speed-limiting technology establishes and maintains for the commercial motor vehicle a maximum safe speed of not faster than-- 7,a7 #fe miles per hour2 or 7,b7 #gj miles per hour with the use of an adaptive cruise control system and an automatic emergency braking system4 7#b7 ,verification of compliance with requirements ,the owner of each commercial motor vehicle subject to a requirement under this section shall verify1 and submit to the ,secretary a certification of1 compliance with the requirement at such time and in such manner as the ,secretary may establish1 by regulation4
