SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

FMCSA may renew an exemption from 

the CDL requirements of 49 CFR 383.23 

for a maximum 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 

procedures for requesting an exemption 

(including renewals) are prescribed in 

49 CFR part 381. FMCSA evaluated 

Volvo’s application and decided to grant 

the renewal of the exemption for five of 

Volvo’s engineers and technicians for a 

2-year period, effective February 4, 

2010, as previously announced in the 

Federal Register (75 FR 33663, June 14, 

2010). 

Comments 

In the Federal Register notice of June 

14, 2010, FMCSA requested public 

comment on the renewal; the Agency 

received none in the 30-day comment 

period (FMCSA Docket No. FMCSA– 

2006–25756). 

Terms and Conditions for the 

Exemption 

Based upon its evaluation of the 

application, FMCSA granted Volvo a 

renewal of the exemption from the 

Federal CDL requirement in 49 CFR 

383.23 for a period of 2 years from 

February 4, 2010, through February 4, 

2012, for 5 drivers (Jonas Gustafsson, 

Christer Milding, Jonas Nilsson, Bjorn 

Nyman, and Sten-Ake Sandberg) who 

test-drive CMVs within the United 

States. The exemption is subject to the 

following terms and conditions: (1) This 

exemption is valid only when these 

drivers are acting within the scope of 

their employment by Volvo, (2) The 

drivers must keep a copy of the 

exemption on the vehicle at all times for 

presentation to a duly authorized 

Federal, State, or local enforcement 

official, (3) The drivers and Volvo must 

adhere to driver disqualification rules 

under 49 CFR parts 383 and 391 that 

apply to other CMV drivers in the 

United States, (4) The drivers and Volvo 

must adhere to drug and alcohol 

regulations, including testing, as 

provided by in 49 CFR part 382, (5) The 

drivers are subject to all other 

provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) (49 CFR 

390–397) unless specifically exempted 

herein, (6) Volvo must notify FMCSA in 

writing of any accident, as defined in 49 

CFR 390.5, involving this exempted 

driver, and (7) Volvo must notify 

FMCSA in writing if this driver is 

convicted of a disqualifying offense 

described in sections 383.51 or 391.15 

of the FMCSRs. 

This exemption will be revoked if: (1) 

The drivers for Volvo fail 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. 31315 and 31136.
