CSA 2010
CSA 2010 is a new approach to continuously determine safety fitness ratings based on safety data collected by FMSCA on an ongoing basis, rather than information collected during a standard compliance review/audit. When published in the first half of 2010, it will be a proposed rule, which means the industry will have the opportunity to review and comment on it. Full implementation of the CSA 2010 scoring system is expected between July and December 2010, and the final regulation on safety ratings that will be tied to CSA 2010 scoring system is not expected until sometime in 2011.
