II. Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315(b), FMCSA may grant an 

exemption from the FMCSRs for no 

longer than a 5-year period if it finds 

such exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to, or 

greater than, the level that would be 

achieved absent such exemption. The 

statute also allows the Agency to renew 

exemptions at the end of the 5-year 

period. FMCSA grants medical 

exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2- 

year period to align with the maximum 

duration of a driver’s medical 

certification. 

The 20 individuals listed in this 

notice have requested an exemption 

from the hearing requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(11). Accordingly, the Agency 

will evaluate the qualifications of each 

applicant to determine whether granting 

the exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute. 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding hearing found in 

§ 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person first perceives a forced 

whispered voice in the better ear at not

less than 5 feet with or without the use 

of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of 

an audiometric device, does not have an 

average hearing loss in the better ear 

greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 

Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a 

hearing aid when the audiometric 

device is calibrated to American 

National Standard (formerly ASA 

Standard) Z24.5–1951. 

This standard was adopted in 1970 

and was revised in 1971 to allow drivers 

to be qualified under this standard 

while wearing a hearing aid, 35 FR 

6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36 FR 

12857 (July 3, 1971). 

On February 1, 2013, FMCSA 

announced in a Notice of Final 

Disposition titled, ‘‘Qualification of 

Drivers; Application for Exemptions; 

National Association of the Deaf,’’ (78 

FR 7479), its decision to grant requests 

from 40 individuals for exemptions 

from the Agency’s physical qualification 

standard concerning hearing for 

interstate CMV drivers. Since that time 

the Agency has published additional 

notices granting requests from hard of 

hearing and deaf individuals for 

exemptions from the Agency’s physical 

qualification standard concerning 

hearing for interstate CMV drivers.
