What is the proposed approach for Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) and why is it not part of the Operational Model test?
The proposed CSA 2010 SFD is not part of the Operational Model test as it will require a major rulemaking effort. There are four important differences between FMCSA’s current safety rating process and the proposed CSA 2010 SFD: The proposed SFD would not be exclusively tied to on-site reviews, while the current safety rating process can only be issued or revised via an on-site review. The proposed SFD would be updated regularly, while the current safety rating process provides a snapshot of compliance only on the date of the most recent CR. The proposed SFD would be based on violations of all safety-based regulations, while the current safety rating process is based only on critical and acute violations. Proposed SFD rating labels under consideration are Unfit, Marginal and Continue to Operate; the current safety rating process rating labels are Unsatisfactory, Conditional and Satisfactory.
