USA: Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation, Retroreflective Sheeting on Semitrailers and Trailers

Updated on : 15-06-2025

Notice of proposed rulemaking - The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) proposes to rescind the requirements for retroreflective
sheeting on semitrailers and trailers manufactured prior to 1 December
1993, which is the compliance date for the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's (NHTSA) conspicuity rules applicable to trailer
manufacturers. The retrofitting requirements were adopted by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on 31 March 1999, and require
that motor carriers engaged in interstate commerce install
retroreflective tape or reflex reflectors on the sides and rear of
semitrailers and trailers that were manufactured prior to 1 December
1993, have an overall width of 2,032 mm (80 inches) or more, and a
gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more. With
the passage of more than 30 years since the NHTSA requirements were
implemented, FMCSA believes the vast majority of trailers currently in
use on the Nation's highways were manufactured after 1993 so the
retrofitting rule is no longer necessary. This proposal would eliminate
obsolete regulatory text without compromising safety.
