**Privacy Act of 1974: System of Records** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department of Transportation.

**ACTION :**  Notice to establish a new system of records.

**SUMMARY :**  FMCSA proposes to establish the system of records called ‘‘ Medical Exemption Program ’’ in compliance with the terms of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). FMCSA has established the Medical Exemption


### 9850 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 22, 2011 / Notices

Program to support the paper-based Federal Vision Exemption Program (FVEP), the paper-based Federal Diabetes Exemption Program (FDEP), and the web-based Med-Ex application managed by the FMCSA Office of Medical Programs. Medical Exemption Program is maintained by MANILA Consulting Group, Inc. (MANILA), an FMCSA contractor. The mission of the FMCSA Office of Medical Programs is to improve the safety of U.S. roadways by disseminating and implementing the medical regulations, guidelines, and policies that ensure commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers engaged in interstate commerce are physically qualified to do so. Only authorized DOT personnel with a specific ‘‘ need to know ’’ can access CMV driver exemption information in Medical Exemption Program. A request from any other individual or entity ( e.g., a law firm) for CMV driver exemption information in Medical Exemption Program is treated as a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by FMCSA and processed accordingly. FMCSA performs routine audits of the Medical Exemption Program to ensure that privacy and security objectives are
met.

More detailed information concerning the Medical Exemption Program system of records is located within this document. A System of Records Notice (SORN) for the Medical Exemption Program will be published in the Federal Register and posted on the DOT Web site. The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the Medical Exemption Program will be located on the DOT Web site ( http://www.dot.gov/ pia.html).

**DATES :**  Effective March 24, 2011. Written comments should be submitted on or before the effective date. If comments are received, the comments will be considered and, where adopted, FMCSA will republish the SORN with the changes or publish an amended SORN.

**FOR SUBMITTING COMMENTS :**  Send comments to Pam Gosier-Cox, FMCSA Privacy Officer, FMCSA Office of Information Technology, MC–RI, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590 or pam.gosier.cox@dot.gov.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Habib Azarsina, Departmental Privacy Officer, S–80, United States Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington DC 20590; telephone 202.366.1965, or habib.azarsina@dot.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background
Section 4007 of Public Law 105– 178—enacted as the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA– 21)—amends Section 31315 and Section 31136(e) of Title 49 of the U.S. Code. TEA–21 allows DOT to grant exemptions from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) if DOT finds an exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent the exemption. II. Medical Exemption Program

The FVEP and the FDEP provide exemptions for CMV drivers who do not meet the federal vision standard [49 CFR 391.41(b)(10)] or the federal diabetes standard [49 CFR 391.41(b)(3)] in the FMCSR. TEA–21 gives FMCSA broad authority to establish exemption application procedures and the process by which exemption applications are to be managed by FMCSA in order to minimize delays. FMCSA will continue to process diabetes exemption applications using a paper-based system. FMCSA will use the Med-Ex web application to process vision exemption applications. The Medical Exemption Program is designed to perform the following in support of the submission, review, and management of all applicants requesting vision and diabetes exemptions:

1. Provide CMV drivers with the option of applying for a vision exemption electronically in order to expedite the process;

2. Allow FMCSA to process and manage all vision and diabetes exemption applications sent electronically or via mail; and

3. Archive all vision and diabetes exemption program records.

The Medical Exemption Program also allows the FMCSA Office of Medical Programs to monitor CMV drivers for compliance with exemption conditions and determine if CMV drivers remain eligible for an exemption during the exemption renewal process.

The Medical Exemption Program contains Personally Identifiable Information (PII) concerning CMV drivers, such as name; date of birth; Social Security Number (SSN); driver license number and issuing state; medical evaluations from medical examiners, eye care practitioners, and medical specialists; copies of motor vehicle records (MVR); photocopies of driver licenses; and proof of commercial driving experience. This PII is used to positively identify CMV drivers and to determine if CMV drivers qualify for an exemption. III. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) governs the means by which the United States Government collects, maintains, and uses PII in a system of records. A ‘‘ system of records ’’ is a group of records under the control of a federal agency from which information about individuals is retrieved by name or other personal identifier. In accordance with the Privacy Act, each federal agency must publish in the Federal Register a System of Records Notice (SORN) identifying and describing each system of records the agency maintains, including the purposes for which the agency uses PII in the system, the routine uses for which the agency discloses such information outside the agency, and how individuals to whom a Privacy Act record pertains can exercise their rights under the Privacy Act ( e.g., to determine if the system contains information about them).
IV. Privacy Impact Assessment

FMCSA is publishing a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for Medical Exemption Program to coincide with the publication of the Medical Exemption Program SORN. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), a report on the establishment of this system of records has been sent to the U.S. Congress and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). V.

**PURPOSE (**  **S ):** 

The purpose for maintaining vision and diabetes exemption records in the Medical Exemption Program is to provide the FMCSA Office of Medical Programs with sufficient information to determine if CMV drivers are eligible for an exemption from the federal vision standard [49 CFR 391.41(b)(10)] or the federal diabetes standard [49 CFR 391.41(b)(3)] in the FMCSR. However, some of the CMV driver information that is collected during the exemption application process is used to ensure that duplicate applications are not submitted. The Medical Exemption Program also collects quarterly and annual medical monitoring information to determine if CMV drivers that have received a diabetes exemption are in compliance with the conditions of the exemption. During the exemption renewal process, updated application information is compared to application information stored in the Medical Exemption Program to determine if CMV drivers remain eligible for a vision or diabetes exemption.
