DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2018–0223] 

Parts and Accessories Necessary for 

Safe Operation; Application for an 

Exemption From Groendyke Transport, 

Inc. 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

exemption; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration (FMCSA) 

requests public comment on an 

application for exemption from 

Groendyke Transport, Inc. (Groendyke) 

to allow the use of a pulsating brake 

lamp in addition to the steady burning 

brake lamps required by the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Regulations 

(FMCSR) in its fleet operations. The 

FMCSRs require all exterior lamps (both 

required lamps and any additional 

lamps) to be steady-burning, with the 

exception of turn signal lamps, hazard 

warning signal lamps, school bus 

warning lamps, amber warning lamps or 

flashing warning lamps on tow trucks 

and commercial motor vehicles (CMV) 

transporting oversized loads, and 

warning lamps on emergency and 

service vehicles authorized by State or 

local authorities. Groendyke believes 

that operating a pulsating brake lamp on 

the rear of its trailers on a fleet-wide 

basis would allow the company to 

operate its equipment more effectively, 

efficiently, and safely, and would 

maintain a level of safety that is 

equivalent to, or greater than, the level 

that it would achieve without the 

requested exemption. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 29, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

FMCSA may grant exemptions from the 

FMCSRs. Pursuant to the implementing 

regulations, FMCSA must publish a 

notice of each exemption request in the 

Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). 

The Agency must provide the public 

with 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. 

The Agency reviews the safety 

analyses and the public comments 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 (49 

CFR 381.315(b)). If the Agency denies 

the request, it must state the reason for 

doing so. If the decision is to grant the 

exemption, the notice must specify the 

person or class of persons receiving the 

exemption and the regulatory provision 

or provisions from which an exemption 

is granted. The notice must specify the 

effective period of the exemption (up to 

5 years) and explain the terms and 

conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.315(c) and 49 CFR 381.300(b)). 

Groendyke’s Application for Exemption 

Groendyke applied for an exemption 

from the requirements of 49 CFR 

393.25(e) which requires all exterior 

lamps (both required lamps and any 

additional lamps) to be steady-burning, 

with the exception of turn signal lamps, 

hazard warning signal lamps, school bus 

warning lamps, amber warning lamps or 

flashing warning lamps on tow trucks 

and CMVs transporting oversized loads, 

and warning lamps on emergency and 

service vehicles authorized by State or 

local authorities. Specifically, 

Groendyke is requesting the exemption 

to allow it to install pulsating brake 

lamps in addition to the steady-burning 

brake lamps required by the FMCSRs. A
