| 摘要： | The Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is responsible for protecting consumers involved in interstate household goods moves by issuing regulations and conducting oversight and enforcement actions. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act--A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), enacted in 2005, included provisions to enhance consumer protections for household goods moves and mandated that GAO study (1) the protections federal laws and regulations provide to consumers of interstate household goods moves and the effectiveness of federal enforcement efforts, (2) the protections states provide to consumers of intrastate household goods moves and how they have affected consumers and movers, and (3) the potential effects on both consumers and interstate movers if movers were subject to state consumer protection laws. To address these issues, GAO analyzed federal and state legislation, federal complaint and enforcement data, and interviewed federal and state officials. / |
