SPECIAL REPORT: Start date of cross-border program up in the air

Tuesday, July 10, 2007 – Despite a recent report published in the Washington Times, there is just too much going on right now to estimate a start date for the cross-border program, according to DOT officials.

There has been a wide range of launch dates published attributed to both sources within the Department of Transportation and Mexican officials.

At one time, July 15 had been the target. Reports in a Mexican publication announced the last week in July. Other media sources reported being told by DOT staffers that the DOT hoped to launch the program in August.

The most recent target date was in a Washington Times article. According to the July 7 news story, DOT officials now say they’re waiting for a congressionally mandated audit to be completed and are now hoping to get the program going by the end of the year.

But, that’s not what a spokeswoman with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration told Land Line Magazine Tuesday afternoon.

Melissa Mazzella DeLaney with FMCSA ran down the laundry list of mandates handed down by Congress in supplemental appropriations legislation recently signed into law.

She touched on the Federal Register notices to be published, comments to be reviewed and, most importantly, the mandated review of the program by the Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General.

“We also have to wait on the inspector general’s audit. The inspector general is an independent arm of the DOT, as such, we have no hand in this process. We cannot estimate or mandate a completion date for this audit,â€
