| Description of Subjects/Issues |
Expansive changes to the OSOW Rules are being made to conform to recent state and federal statutory changes, plus address industry concerns. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The current rulemaking was initiated to rewrite the rule on a broad basis after the last substantial rule hearing that encompassed more than one specific topic was held in 1999. This rulemaking will change the rule to conform to legislation passed in 2006, 2008 and 2009 that impacted the permits issued by the Department or created new permit types. Industry also proposed broad revisions based on changing needs and business impact. Specific statutory authority for the Colorado Transportation Commission to adopt and promulgate Rules and Regulations pertaining to Transport Permits for the operation or movement of Extra-legal Vehicles or Loads, is contained in ??42-4-510 (1)(b) and 511 (1), C.R.S. The Transportation Commission authorized the rule changes on November 21, 2009 in TC Resolution No. 1793. The purpose of the Rules is to comply with state statutes that allow the movement on state highways of vehicles and loads exceeding legal limits provided that the Department issues a permit for such vehicles and loads. Section 42-4-510 (3), C.R.S. authorizes the Department to prescribe conditions of operation for the movement of Extra-Legal loads. |
