THE GOVERNOR

[37 Pa.B. 750]
[Saturday, February 17, 2007]

Proclamation of Disaster Emergency

   Whereas, The weather across Pennsylvania beginning February 3, 2007, and continuing, consists of sub-freezing temperatures including single digit temperatures overnight; and

   Whereas, this weather has caused the increased use of fuel across the Commonwealth; and

   Whereas, investigations made on my behalf have determined that at present fuel price is constant and supply is sufficient, but the Commonwealth is in need of greater flexibility on truck driver regulations to accommodate truck drivers making deliveries and transporting fuel across the Commonwealth; and

   Whereas, the impact of the current weather conditions in conjunction with the regulations limiting truck drivers' hours of service could cause impediments to the safety and welfare of the citizens of the Commonwealth; and

   Whereas, the Secretary of Transportation is authorized to waive the regulations regarding hours of service limitations for drivers of commercial vehicles.

   Now Therefore, Pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 7301(c) of the Emergency Management Services Code (35 Pa.C.S. Section 7101 et seq.), I do hereby proclaim the existence of a disaster emergency across the Commonwealth permitting the waiver of the requirements to comply with the drivers' hours of service limitation in the interstate and intrastate delivery of fuel.

   Given under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, at the City of Harrisburg, this seventh day of February in the year of our Lord two thousand and seven, and of the Commonwealth the two hundred and thirty-first.
 

 

   Governor
