AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA previously 

announced its decision to renew the 

exemptions from the vision requirement 

in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for 28 individuals. FMCSA 

has statutory authority to exempt 

individuals from the vision requirement 

if the exemptions granted will not 

compromise safety. The Agency has 

concluded that granting these 

exemptions will provide a level of safety 

that will be equivalent to, or greater 

than, the level of safety maintained 

without the exemptions for these 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers.

holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

You may see all the comments online

Management System (FDMS) at http://

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption for a 2- 

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 2-year period. The 

comment period ended on August 14, 

2009. 

Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

proceeding. 

Conclusion 

The Agency has not received any 

adverse evidence on any of these drivers 

that indicates that safety is being 

compromised. Based upon its 

evaluation of the 28 renewal 

applications, FMCSA renews the 

Federal vision exemptions for Glenn A. 

Babcock, Jr., JeanPierre Brefort, Joey E. 

Buice, James T. Butler, Jr., Paul W. 

Dawson, Lois E. De Souza, James M. 

Eads, Jay E. Finney, Steven A. Garrity,

R. Hughes, Edward J. Kasper, Jeffrey M.

Seavy, Boyd D. Stamey, Randy D. 

Stanley, Harry J. Stoever, Lee T. Taylor, 

James M. Tayman, Sr., Scott C. Teich 

and John E. Terrell. 

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

and 31315, each renewal exemption will 

be valid for 2 years unless revoked 

earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will 

be revoked if: (1) The person fails to 

comply with the terms and conditions 

of the exemption; (2) the exemption has 

resulted in a lower level of safety than 

was maintained before it was granted; or 

(3) continuation of the exemption would 

not be consistent with the goals and 

objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.
