WASHINGTON -- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration changed criteria that determines which motor carriers should be subject to more stringent Hazardous Materials intervention thresholds.

This change allows FMCSA to more accurately identify motor carriers that transport placardable quantities of hazmat, according to the agency.
