Summary of Issue

The Canadian Hours of Service (HOS) has changed significantly. In 2006, a temporary change to the North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria (OOSC)referencing federal legislation was made.

Justification or Need

The amendment to Part I, Item 11. Driver's Hours of Service - Canada is more detailed and provides better direction to inspectors and enforcement officers in Canada under what circumstances of when a driver should be placed out-of service for HOS violations.

Request for Action

Replace the existing Item 11. Driver's Hours of Service - Canada in Part I of the OOSC.
