imports of the sugar and syrup goods 

and sugar-containing products 

described above exceeded its exports of 

those goods by 127,341 metric tons 

according to data published by the 

National Superintendence of Customs 

and Tax Administration (SUNAT). 

Based on this data, USTR has 

determined that Peru’s trade surplus is 

negative. Therefore, in accordance with 

U.S. Note 28(d) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98, goods of Peru are 

not eligible to enter the United States 

duty-free under subheading 9822.06.10 

in CY2021. 

V. Colombia TPA 

Pursuant to section 201 of the United 

States-Colombia Trade Promotion 

Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 

112–42; 19 U.S.C. 3805 note), 

Presidential Proclamation No. 8818 of 

May 14, 2012 (77 FR 29519) 

implemented the Colombia TPA on 

behalf of the United States and modified 

the HTSUS to reflect the tariff treatment 

provided for in the Colombia TPA. 

Note 32(b) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 requires USTR 

annually to publish a determination of 

the amount of Colombia’s trade surplus, 

by volume, with all sources for goods in 

HTSUS subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13, 

1701.14, 1701.91, 1701.99, 1702.40 and 

1702.60, except that Colombia’s imports 

of U.S. goods classified under 

subheadings 1702.40 and 1702.60 that 

are originating goods under the 

Colombia TPA and Colombia’s exports 

to the United States of goods classified 

under subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13, 

1701.14, 1701.91 and 1701.99 are not 

included in the calculation of 

Colombia’s trade surplus. 

Note 32(c)(i) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 provides duty-free 

treatment for certain sugar goods of 

Colombia entered under subheading 

9822.08.01 in an amount equal to the 

lesser of Colombia’s trade surplus or the 

specific quantity set out in that note for 

that calendar year. 

During CY2019, the most recent year 

for which data is available, Colombia’s 

exports of the sugar and syrup goods 

and sugar-containing products 

described above exceeded its imports of 

those goods by 338,814 metric tons 

according to data published by the 

Colombian National Tax and Customs 

Directorate (DIAN). Based on this data, 

USTR has determined that Colombia’s 

trade surplus is 338,814 metric tons. 

The specific quantity set out in U.S. 

Note 32(c)(i) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 for Colombia for CY 

2021 is 56,750 metric tons. Therefore, in 

accordance with that note, the aggregate 

quantity of goods of Colombia that may 

be entered duty-free under subheading 

9822.08.01 in CY2021 is 56,750 metric 

tons (i.e., the amount that is the lesser 

of Colombia’s trade surplus and the 

specific quantity set out in that note for 

Colombia for CY2021). 

VI. Panama TPA 

Pursuant to section 201 of the United 

States-Panama Trade Promotion 

Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 

112–43; 19 U.S.C. 3805 note), 

Presidential Proclamation No. 8894 of 

October 29, 2012 (77 FR 66505) 

implemented the Panama TPA on behalf 

of the United States and modified the 

HTSUS to reflect the tariff treatment 

provided for in the Panama TPA. 

Note 35(a) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 requires USTR 

annually to publish a determination of 

the amount of Panama’s trade surplus, 

by volume, with all sources for goods in 

HTSUS subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13, 

1701.14, 1701.91, 1701.99, 1702.40 and 

1702.60, except that Panama’s imports 

of U.S. goods classified under 

subheadings 1702.40 and 1702.60 that 

are originating goods under the Panama 

TPA and Panama’s exports to the United 

States of goods classified under 

subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13, 1701.14, 

1701.91 and 1701.99 are not included in 

the calculation of Panama’s trade 

surplus. 

Note 35(c) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 provides duty-free 

treatment for certain sugar goods of 

Panama entered under subheading 

9822.09.17 in an amount equal to the 

lesser of Panama’s trade surplus or the 

specific quantity set out in that note for 

that calendar year. 

During CY2019, the most recent year 

for which data is available, Panama’s 

imports of the sugar and syrup goods 

and sugar-containing products 

described above exceeded its exports of 

those goods by 753 metric tons 

according to data published by the 

National Institute of Statistics and 

Census, Office of the General 

Comptroller of Panama; and the 

Ministry of Commerce and Industry of 

Panama. Based on this data, USTR has 

determined that Panama’s trade surplus 

is negative. Therefore, in accordance 

with that note, goods of Panama are not 

eligible to enter the United States dutyfree under subheading 9822.09.17 in 

CY2021.

B. Privacy Act 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), 

DOT solicits comments from the public 

to better inform its rulemaking process. 

DOT posts these comments, without 

edit, including any personal information 

the commenter provides, to 

www.regulations.gov, as described in 

the system of records notice (DOT/ALL– 

14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at 

www.transportation.gov/privacy. 

II. Background 

On November 18, 2020, FMCSA 

published a notice announcing its 

decision to renew exemptions for 63 

individuals from the vision requirement 

in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) to operate a 

CMV in interstate commerce and 

requested comments from the public (85 

FR 73593). The public comment period 

ended on December 18, 2020, and no 

comments were received. 

FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility 

of these applicants and determined that 

renewing these exemptions would 

achieve a level of safety equivalent to, 

or greater than, the level that would be 

achieved by complying with the current 

regulation § 391.41(b)(10). 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding vision found in 

§ 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person has distant visual acuity of 

at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye 

without corrective lenses or visual 

acuity separately corrected to 20/40 

(Snellen) or better with corrective 

lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 

20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or 

without corrective lenses, field of vision 

of at least 70° in the horizontal meridian 

in each eye, and the ability to recognize 

the colors of traffic signals and devices 

showing red, green, and amber. 

III. Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

proceeding. 

IV. Conclusion 

Based on its evaluation of the 63 

renewal exemption applications and 

comments received, FMCSA confirms 

its decision to exempt the following 

drivers from the vision requirement in 

§ 391.41(b)(10). 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) 

and 31315(b), the following groups of 

drivers received renewed exemptions in 

the month of December and are 

discussed below. As of December 3, 

2020, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315, the following 54 

individuals have satisfied the renewal 

conditions for obtaining an exemption 

from the vision requirement in the 

FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (63
