Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2013–0284] 

Commercial Driver’s License 

Standards: Application for Exemption; 

Miami Nice Tours 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

exemption; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that 

Miami Nice Tours (Miami) has applied 

for an exemption from the commercial 

driver’s license (CDL) provisions of part 

383 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations (FMCSRs) (49 CFR 350– 

399) for itself and 50 European drivers. 

Miami, a motor carrier, would employ 

the 50 European drivers to conduct 

approximately 87 motorcoach tours in 

the United States annually. Part 383 

requires motorcoach drivers to hold a 

CDL issued by a U.S. State. While each 

driver is licensed to operate a 

motorcoach in his or her European 

country of residence, States do not issue 

CDLs to non-residents. Miami believes 

that these drivers are likely to achieve 

a level of safety that is equivalent to or 

greater than the level of safety that 

would be obtained if they held U.S. 

CDLs. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 16, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31315 and 31136(e) to grant exemptions 

from certain parts of the FMCSRs. The 

Agency is required to publish a notice 

of each exemption request in the 

Federal Register [49 CFR 381.315(a)]. 

FMCSA must provide the public an 

opportunity to inspect the information 

relevant to the application, including 

any safety analyses that have been 

conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. 

FMCSA reviews safety analyses and 

public comments submitted and 

determines whether granting the 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to or greater than 

the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). 

The decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register with 

the reasons for denying or granting the 

application, and if granted, the name of 

the person or class of persons receiving 

the exemption and the regulatory 

provisions from which the exemption is 

granted [49 CFR 381.315(b) and (c)]. The 

notice must also specify the effective 

period and explain the terms and 

conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed [49 CFR 

381.300(b)]. 

Request for Exemption 

Miami Nice Tours (Miami) is a motor 

carrier based in Florida and duly 

registered with FMCSA to transport 

passengers in interstate commerce. It
