Background 

FMCSA has published notices of 

receipt of Federal diabetes exemption 

applications and its intent to grant the 

exemptions. The Agency also requested 

comments from the public. The 

comment period closed 30 days after the 

publication date and the exemptions 

were issued the day after the comment 

period closed. 

FMCSA evaluated the eligibility of the 

drivers and determined that granting the 

exemptions to these individuals would 

achieve a level of safety equivalent to or 

greater than the level that would be 

achieved by complying with the current 

regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3). 

The determining criteria for and the 

conditions and requirements of the 

exemptions, to which all exempted 

drivers are subject, were discussed in 

detail when the docket was originally 

published (79 FR 35844). As always, 

any adverse comments that come in 

after the exemption is granted will be 

evaluated, and if they indicate that the 

driver is not achieving a level of safety 

equivalent to or greater than the level of 

safety that would be obtained by 

complying with the regulation, the 

exemption will be revoked. When
