BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2012–0032] 

Commercial Driver’s License 

Standards: Application for Exemption; 

Daimler Trucks North America 

(Daimler) 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

exemption; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that 

Daimler Trucks North America 

(Daimler) has requested an exemption 

for one commercial motor vehicle 

(CMV) driver from the Federal 

requirement to hold a commercial 

driver’s license (CDL) issued by one of 

the States. Daimler requests that the 

exemption cover Mr. Christian Urban, a 

project engineer who will test drive 

CMVs for Daimler within the United 

States. This driver holds a valid German 

CDL and wants to test-drive Daimler 

vehicles on U.S. roads to better 

understand product requirements for 

these systems in ‘‘real world’’ 

environments, and verify results. 

Daimler believes the requirements for a 

German CDL ensure that the same level 

of safety is met or exceeded as if this 

driver had a U.S. State-issued CDL. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 2, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by Federal Docket 

Management System Number FMCSA–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315 to grant exemptions 

from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations. FMCSA must publish a 

notice of each exemption request in the 

Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). 

The Agency must provide the public an 

opportunity to inspect the information 

relevant to the application, including 

any safety analyses that have been 

conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. 

The Agency reviews the safety 

analyses and the public comments, and 

determines whether granting the 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to, or greater than, 

the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). 

The decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register (49 

CFR 381.315(b)) with the reason for the 

grant or denial, and, if granted, the 

specific person or class of persons 

receiving the exemption, and the 

regulatory provision or provisions from 

which exemption is granted. The notice 

must also specify the effective period of 

the exemption (up to 2 years), and 

explain the terms and conditions of the 

exemption. The exemption may be 

renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)). 

In the May 12, 2012, Federal Register 

(77 FR 31422) FMCSA granted Daimler 

a similar exemption for two of its test 

drivers. Each held a valid German CDL 

but lacked the U.S. residency necessary 

to obtain a CDL. FMCSA concluded that 

the process for obtaining a German CDL 

is comparable to or as effective as the 

U.S. CDL requirements and ensures that 

these drivers will likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to or greater than 

the level that would be obtained in the 

absence of the exemption. 

Request for Exemption 

Daimler has applied for an exemption 

for one of its engineers from 49 CFR 

383.23, which prescribes licensing 

requirements for drivers operating 

CMVs in interstate or intrastate 

commerce. This driver, Mr. Christian 

Urban, is unable to obtain a CDL in any 

of the U.S. States. A copy of the 

application is in Docket No. FMCSA– 

2012–0032. 

The exemption would allow Mr. 

Urban to operate CMVs in interstate or 

intrastate commerce to support Daimler 

field tests designed to meet future 

vehicle safety and environmental 

regulatory requirements and to promote 

the development of technology 

advancements in vehicle safety systems 

and emissions reductions. According to 

Daimler, Mr. Urban will typically drive 

for no more than 6 hours per day for 2 

consecutive days, and that 10 percent of 

the test driving will be on two-lane state 

highways, while 90 percent will be on 

interstate highways. The driving will 

consist of no more than 200 miles per 

day, for a total of 400 miles during a 

two-day period on a quarterly basis. He 

will in all cases be accompanied by a 

holder of a U.S. CDL who is familiar 

with the routes to be traveled. 

Daimler requests that the exemption 

cover a two-year period. Mr. Urban 

holds a valid German CDL, and as 

explained by Daimler in its exemption 

request, the requirements for that 

license ensure that the same level of 

safety is met or exceeded as if this 

driver had a U.S. CDL.
