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 74 

individuals listed in this notice have 

recently requested an exemption from 

the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(3), which applies to drivers of 

CMVs in interstate commerce.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 51 / Friday, March 16, 2007 / Notices 12657 

Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate 

the qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting the 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by the statute.

Request for Comments 

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

and 31315, FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

the exemption petitions described in 

this notice. We will consider all 

comments received before the close of 

business on the closing date indicated 

earlier in the notice. 

FMCSA notes that Section 4129 of the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible and 

Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 

Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

requires the Secretary to revise its 

diabetes exemption program established 

on September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441).1

The revision must provide for 

individual assessment of drivers with 

diabetes mellitus, and be consistent 

with the criteria described in section 

4018 of the Transportation Equity Act 

for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305). 

Section 4129 requires: (1) The 

elimination of the requirement for three 

years of experience operating CMVs 

while being treated with insulin; and (2) 

the establishment of a specified 

minimum period of insulin use to 

demonstrate stable control of diabetes 

before being allowed to operate a CMV. 

In response to section 4129, FMCSA 

made immediate revisions to the 

diabetes exemption program established 

by the September 3, 2003 Notice. 

FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year 

driving experience and fulfilled the 

requirements of section 4129 while 

continuing to ensure that operation of 

CMVs by drivers with ITDM will 

achieve the requisite level of safety 

required of all exemptions granted 

under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e). 

Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA 

to ensure that drivers of CMVs with 

ITDM are not held to a higher standard 

than other drivers, with the exception of 

limited operating, monitoring and 

medical requirements that are deemed 

medically necessary. FMCSA concluded 

that all of the operating, monitoring and 

medical requirements set out in the 

September 3, 2003 Notice, except as 

modified, were in compliance with 

section 4129(d). Therefore, all of the 

requirements set out in the September 3, 

2003 Notice, except as modified in the 

notice in the Federal Register on 

November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777), 

remain in effect.
