The regulation details the criteria for certification, which requires a minimum number of years of experience as a commercial driver and a minimum score on a test of basic communication skills. Regulation B, which requires that every bus in commercial service be equipped with seatbelts for every seat. Regulation C provides that states failing to implement adequate measures to ensure that bus seatbelts are actually used will forfeit 10 percent of previously-appropriated federal funds that assist states with highway construction.
