WHEREAS:

WHEREAS:

ORDERED:

The uninterrupted supply of liquid petroleum gas to residential, agricultural and
commercial establishments is an essential need of the public during the winter
and any interruption threatens the public welfare; and

The uninterrupted supply of liquid petroleum gas to residential, agricultural and
commercial establishments is an essential need of the public during the winter
and any interruption threatens the public welfare; and

The continued period of cold weather has increased the demand for the above
referenced fuels and threatened uninterrupted delivery to residential, agricultural
and commercial customers; and

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations, 49 CFR 390, et seq., limit the
hours of operators of commercial motor vehicles may drive; and

49 CFR 390.23 allows the Governor of a State to suspend these rules and
regulations for up to 30 days if the Governor determines that an emergency
condition exists.

Now, THEREFORE, PURSUANT To THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME AS GOVERNOR
OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IT IS HEREBY

That a State of Emergency has been declared and is hereby extended for the
limited purpose of suspending the federal rules and regulations that limit the
hours operators of commercial vehicles may drive, in order to ensure the
uninterrupted supply of liquid petroleum gas throughout Georgia. This
emergency justifies a suspension of Part 395 (drivers’ hours of service) of Title 49
of the Code of Federal Regulations. The suspension shall remain in effect for 7
days or until the emergency condition ceases to exist, whichever is less. Nothing
herein shall be construed as an exemption from the Commercial Driver’s License
requirements in 49 CFR 383, the financial requirements in 49 CFR 387, or
applicable federal size and weight limitations.
