Final answer:
The FMCSA will notify the carrier of a conditional rating within 45 days after the compliance review. If we have to choose from the given options, the closest is 60 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), upon determining that a carrier has not met all the criteria to receive a satisfactory safety rating and, therefore, is issued a conditional rating, will notify the carrier of this rating. The FMCSA is required to provide the notification within a specific time frame after the compliance review that led to the safety rating determination. According to the FMCSA regulations, this notification must happen within 45 days of the compliance review. However, if we strictly look at the options provided: A) 30 days, B) 60 days, C) 90 days, D) 120 days, the closest time frame would then be B) 60 days, even though the actual regulatory requirement is 45 days.
