II. Background 

On April 17, 2018, FMCSA published 

a notice announcing its decision to 

renew exemptions for 191 individuals 

from the insulin-treated diabetes 

mellitus prohibition in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(3) to operate a CMV in 

interstate commerce and requested 

comments from the public (77 FR 

10612; 77 FR 13686; 77 FR 20874; 77 FR 

25227; 79 FR 6987; 79 FR 10612; 79 FR 

14579; 79 FR 18388; 79 FR 27685; 79 FR 

28590; 81 FR 10703; 81 FR 14179; 81 FR 

14197; 81 FR 39318; 81 FR 40743; 81 FR 

42043; 81 FR 85317). The public 

comment period ended on May 17, 

2018, and no comments were received. 

As stated in the previous notice, 

FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of 

these applicants and determined that 

renewing these exemptions would 

achieve a level of safety equivalent to or 

greater than the level that would be 

achieved by complying with the current 

regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3). 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding diabetes found in 

49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) states that a person 

is physically qualified to drive a CMV 

if that person has no established 

medical history or clinical diagnosis of 

diabetes mellitus currently requiring 

insulin for control. 

III. Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

preceding. 

IV. Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 191 

renewal exemption applications and 

comments received, FMCSA confirms 

its’ decision to exempt the following 

drivers from the rule prohibiting drivers 

with ITDM from driving CMVs in 

interstate commerce in 49 CFR 

391.64(3): 

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

and 31315, the following groups of
