#  [Corrected]

**AGENCY:**

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, DOT.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

FMCSA corrects an error in its June 7, 2016, final rule “Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles: Use of Seat Belts.” The amendatory language in the final rule inadvertently limited the applicability of the requirement for drivers to use their seat belts to operators of property-carrying vehicles. Today's correction fixes the error such that drivers of passenger-carrying vehicles will continue to be required to wear their seat belts.

**DATES:**

Effective August 8, 2016.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Charles A. Horan, Director; Carrier, Driver, and Vehicle Safety Standards, Office of Policy, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590-0001 or by telephone at (202) 366-5370.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration published a document in the *Federal Register* of June 7, 2016 (81 FR 36474). In FR Doc. 2016-13099, published in the *Federal Register* of June 7, 2016, (81 FR 36474), § 392.16(a) was amended to inadvertently include the phrase “property-carrying.” This correction removes the phrase “property-carrying.”.
