On July 1, 2015, FMCSA published a 

notice of receipt of Federal diabetes

from the public (80 FR 37719). The 

public comment period closed on July 

31, 2015, and one comment was 

received.

safety equivalent to or greater than the 

level that would be achieved by 

complying with the current regulation 

49 CFR 391.41(b)(3).
