CSA 2010 IMPLEMENTATION DATES
From the April 9, 2010 Federal Register - courtesy of John Hill, former FMCSA Administrator and founder of The Hill Group, Inc.
April 12, 2010 - The Carrier Safety Management System (CSMS) will be available for individual motor carriers to view their own safety data.
April 12 - August 31, 2010 - motor carriers will see their safety performance history through the 7 BASICs. After the refinements to the CSMS occur in the summer of 2010, carriers from September through November 30, 2010 will see their safety performance through the CSA 2010 model.
June 2010 - CSA 2010 field test concludes with the nine pilot states. Thereafter, the nine states involved in the pilot program (Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana and New Jersey) will use the full array of interventions.
September 30, 2010 - Deadline for any comments on this implementation schedule for CSA 2010's revised schedule. I encourage you to make any comments concerning CSA 2010 that you may have.
November 30, 2010 - Three important things will occur:
1) Replace SafeStat with CSMS (the crash data will remain visible only to the motor carrier - not the public). This was previously to occur on July 1, 2010. The public will be able to view your profile.
2) Warning letters will be sent nationwide to any carriers with deficient BASICs.
3) Implementation of a nationwide Inspector Selection System (ISS) for roadside inspections in lieu of SafeStat as the basis.
Later in 2010 - FMCSA said in the federal register notice that they plan to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking concerning the Safety Fitness Determination. Until the Final Rule is in place, FMCSA will continue to issue safety ratings based on Part 385 - the current regime.
