The IAMFTF and IASFPF meetings 

follow a town hall style format. Neither

that have future relevance to regulations 

or policy will be handled through the 

formal processes in place to include full 

public participation. 

The meetings are open to the public, 

and are typically attended by the 

international aviation community 

including industry, government, and 

academia with an interest in aircraft fire 

protection systems. Due to limited 

capacity, advanced registration is 

required to attend.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2016–0130] 

Commercial Driver’s License: 

Application for Exemption; Missouri 

Department of Revenue (DOR) 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

renewal of exemption; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has 

received an application from the 

Missouri DOR for a renewal of its 

exemption from the Agency’s 

commercial driver’s license (CDL) 

regulations. These regulations require a 

driver to pass the general knowledge 

test before being issued a Commercial 

Learner’s Permit (CLP). The exemption 

renewal would allow the Missouri DOR 

to continue to waive the mandatory 

knowledge test requirement for 

qualified veterans who participated in 

dedicated training in approved military 

programs. The Missouri DOR states that 

its goal is to continue to assist qualified 

veterans in obtaining employment when 

returning to the civilian workforce, and 

granting this exemption renewal will 

assist those veterans who have already 

been through extensive military 

training. The Missouri DOR currently 

holds an exemption for the period of 

October 27, 2016, through October 29, 

2018, and is requesting a 2-year 

renewal. FMCSA requests public 

comment on the Missouri DOR’s 

application for exemption. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 7, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) Number

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

II. Legal Basis 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315 to grant exemptions 

from certain Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). FMCSA 

must publish a notice of each exemption 

request in the Federal Register (49 CFR 

381.315(a)). The Agency 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. 

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 

compliance with the current regulation 

(49 CFR 381.305). The decision of the 

Agency must be published in the 

Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(b)) 

with the reason for the grant or denial, 

and, if granted, the specific person or 

class of persons receiving the 

exemption, and the regulatory provision 

or provisions from which exemption is 

granted. The notice must also 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 

381.300(b)). 

III. Request for Exemption 

The Missouri DOR’s initial exemption 

application from the provisions of 49 

CFR 383.71(a)(2)(ii) was submitted in 

2016; a copy is in the docket identified 

at the beginning of this notice. That 

2016 application describes fully the 

nature of the Missouri DOR’s request, 

and the reasons for its request. The 

Missouri DOR contends that those 

qualified veterans who participated in 

dedicated training in approved military 

programs have already received 

numerous hours of classroom training, 

practical skills training, and one-on-one 

road training that are essential for safe 

driving. The original exemption was 

granted on October 27, 2016 (81 FR 

74861) and expires on October 29, 2018. 

Missouri DOR now requests a 2-year 

renewal of the exemption. The current 

exemption allows all States to waive the 

CDL knowledge test for qualified 

current or former military personnel 

who participated in training in military 

heavy-vehicle driving programs, but 

does not require them to do so. 

The Missouri DOR provided several 

reasons for this renewal of the 

exemption request, including: 

• The proposed regulatory change to 

49 CFR parts 383 and 384 for Military 

Licensing and State Commercial Driver 

Licensing Reciprocity [82 FR 26894, 

June 12, 2017] has not yet been posted 

as a final rulemaking by the Agency; 

• The Missouri legislature did not 

pass the enabling legislation to pursue 

full implementation during a recent 

legislative session; and 

• Missouri, as well as other State 

Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) that 

have implemented or want to pursue 

implementation of these provisions, 

must have an exemption renewal in 

place until such time as the proposed 

regulatory change is approved and 

posted as final. 

In addition, because the issue 

concerning the Missouri DOR request 

could be applicable in each of the 

States, FMCSA requests public 

comment on whether the exemption, if 

granted, should cover all SDLAs.
