Official abstract: FMCSA announces its decision to grant Yarde Metals, Inc.'s (Yarde Metals, USDOT No. 299202) application for a limited 5-year exemption to allow the use of an amber, brake-activated, pulsating auxiliary lamp positioned in the rear center outside frame rail of each of its commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in addition to the steady- burning brake lamps required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
