BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2014–0382] 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Epilepsy and Seizure 

Disorders 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to grant requests from 14 

individuals for exemptions from the 

regulatory requirement that interstate 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers have ‘‘no established medical 

history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy 

or any other condition which is likely 

to cause loss of consciousness or any 

loss of ability to control a CMV.’’ The 

regulation and the associated advisory 

criteria published in the Code of Federal 

Regulations as the ‘‘Instructions for 

Performing and Recording Physical 

Examinations’’ have resulted in 

numerous drivers being prohibited from 

operating CMVs in interstate commerce 

based on the fact that they have had one 

or more seizures and are taking antiseizure medication, rather than an 

individual analysis of their 

circumstances by a qualified medical 

examiner. The Agency concluded that 

granting exemptions for these CMV 

drivers will provide a level of safety that 

is equivalent to or greater than the level 

of safety maintained without the 

exemptions. FMCSA grants exemptions 

that will allow these 14 individuals to 

operate CMVs in interstate commerce 

for a 2-year period. The exemptions 

preempt State laws and regulations and 

may be renewed. 

DATES: The exemptions are effective 

September 14, 2015. The exemptions 

expire on September 14, 2017.
