Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Epilepsy and Seizure 

Disorders 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to grant requests from 22 

individuals for exemptions from the 

regulatory requirement that interstate 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers have ‘‘no established medical 

history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy 

or any other condition which is likely 

to cause loss of consciousness or any 

loss of ability to control a CMV.’’ The 

regulation and the associated advisory 

criteria published in the Code of Federal 

Regulations as the ‘‘Instructions for 

Performing and Recording Physical 

Examinations’’ have resulted in 

numerous drivers being prohibited from 

operating CMVs in interstate commerce 

based on the fact that they have had one 

or more seizures and are taking antiseizure medication, rather than an 

individual analysis of their 

circumstances by a qualified medical 

examiner. The Agency concluded that 

granting exemptions for these CMV 

drivers will provide a level of safety that 

is equivalent to or greater than the level 

of safety maintained without the 

exemptions. FMCSA grants exemptions 

that will allow these 22 individuals to 

operate CMVs in interstate commerce 

for a 2-year period. The exemptions 

preempt State laws and regulations and 

may be renewed. 

DATES: The exemptions are effective 

January 15, 2013. The exemptions 

expire on January 15, 2015.

B. Background 

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

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

the safety regulations 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. 

FMCSA grants 22 individuals an 

exemption from the regulatory 

requirement in § 391.41(b)(8) allowing 

individuals who take anti-seizure 

medication to operate CMVs in 

interstate commerce for a 2-year period. 

The Agency’s decision on these 

exemption applications is based on an 

individualized assessment of each 

applicant’s medical information, 

including the root cause of the 

respective seizure(s); the length of time 

elapsed since the individual’s last 

seizure; and each individual’s treatment 

regimen. In addition, the Agency 

reviewed the applicant’s driving record 

found in the CDLIS,1 for CDL holders, 

and interstate and intrastate inspections 

recorderd in MCMIS.2 The Agency 

acknowledges the potential 

consequences of a driver experiencing a 

seizure while operating a CMV. 

However, the Agency believes the 

drivers covered by the exemptions have 

demonstrated that they are unlikely to 

have a seizure and their medical 

condition does not pose a risk to public 

safety. 

In reaching the decision to grant these 

exemption requests, the Agency 

considered both current medical 

literature and information and the 2007 

recommendations of the Agency’s 

Medical Expert Panel (MEP). The 

Agency previously gathered evidence 

for potential changes to the regulation 

by conducting a comprehensive review 

of scientific literature that was compiled 

into the ‘‘Evidence Report on Seizure 

Disorders and Commercial Vehicle 

Driving’’ (Evidence Report) [CD–ROM 

HD TL230.3 .E95 2007]. The Agency 

then convened a panel of medical 

experts in the field of neurology (MEP) 

on May 14–15, 2007, to review 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(8) and the advisory criteria 

regarding individuals who have 

experienced a seizure, and the 2007 

Evidence Report. The Evidence Report 

and the MEP recommendations are 

published on-line at http:// 

www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/ 

topics/mep/mep-reports.htm, under 

Seizure Disorders, and are in the docket 

for this notice.
