will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection.

fmcsamedical@dot.gov, FMCSA, 

Department of Transportation, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W64–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

the Federal Motor Carrier 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.’’ 

FMCSA can renew exemptions at the 

end of each 2-year period. The 12 

individuals listed in this notice have 

each requested such an exemption from 

the vision requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers 

of CMVs in interstate commerce. 

Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate 

the qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting an 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute.
