Removal of Obsolete References to “Water Carriers”

FMCSA amends its regulations to remove obsolete references to "water carriers" in the FMCSA regulations (FMCSR). FMCSA does not specifically regulate water carriers except to the extent that such carriers also engage in motor carrier operations. In such cases, the existing FMCSR provide appropriate coverage of the carrier's motor carrier operations.
