DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2008–0224] 

Parts and Accessories Necessary for 

Safe Operation; Exemption Renewal 

for Greyhound Lines, Inc. 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemption; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

renewal of the exemption for 

Greyhound Lines, Inc. (Greyhound) 

regarding the placement of video event 

recorders at the top of the windshields 

on its buses. Greyhound will continue 

to use the video event recorders to 

increase safety through (1) identification 

and remediation of risky driving 

behaviors such as distracted driving and 

drowsiness; (2) enhanced monitoring of 

passenger behavior; and (3) enhanced 

collision review and analysis. The 

Agency believes that granting this 

exemption renewal will maintain a level 

of safety that is equivalent to, or greater 

than, the level of safety achieved 

without the exemption. However, the 

Agency requests comments on this 

issue, particularly from parties who 

believe the Greyhound exemption 

would not meet that standard. 

DATES: This decision is effective March 

21, 2011. Comments must be received 

on or before April 21, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

31315(b)(1), FMCSA may renew an 

exemption from the Federal Motor

would likely achieve a level of safety 

that is equivalent to, or greater than, the 

level that would be achieved absent 

such exemption.’’ Greyhound has 

requested a two-year extension for its 

exemption from 49 CFR 393.60(e). The 

procedures for requesting an exemption 

(including renewals) are set out in 49 

CFR part 381.

requested renewal of an exemption in 

accordance with FMCSA procedures. 

FMCSA has evaluated the application 

for renewal on its merit and determined 

to extend the exemption for a two-year 

period. The exemption is extended
