DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2012–0032] 

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) 

Standards; Daimler Trucks North 

America (Daimler) Exemption 

Application 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; 

granting of application for exemption. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to grant Daimler Trucks North 

America’s (Daimler) application for an 

exemption for two Daimler drivers to 

drive commercial motor vehicles 

(CMVs) in the United States without 

possessing the requisite commercial 

driver’s license (CDL) issued by one of 

the States. George Weiberg and KlausDieter Holloh are field test engineers 

who will be test-driving Daimler 

vehicles on U.S. roads in order to meet 

future vehicle safety and environmental 

regulatory requirements and to promote 

the development of technology 

advancements in vehicle safety systems 

and emissions reductions. Each of these 

drivers holds a valid German CDL but 

lacks the U.S. residency necessary to 

obtain a CDL issued by one of the States. 

FMCSA believes that the process for 

obtaining a German-issued CDL is 

comparable to or is as effective as the 

U.S. CDL requirements and ensures that 

these drivers will likely achieve a level 

of safety that is equivalent to or greater 

than the level of safety that would be 

obtained in the absence of the 

exemption. 

DATES: This exemption is effective April 

17, 2012, and expires on April 17, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Richard Clemente, Driver and Carrier 

Operations Division, Office of Bus and 

Truck Standards and Operations, MC–

Administration, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

certain Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations (FMCSRs) (49 CFR part 350 

et seq.) for up to 2 years. The Agency 

must find that the exemption will allow 

the applicant to implement more 

effective or efficient operations and 

‘‘would likely achieve a level of safety 

that is equivalent to or greater than the 

level that would be achieved absent 

such exemption’’ (49 CFR 381.305 (a)). 

Exemptions are renewable for 2-year 

periods. 

Daimler Application for Exemption 

Daimler applied for an exemption for 

drivers Georg Weiberg and Klaus-Dieter 

Holloh from 49 CFR 383.23 of the CDL 

rules, requiring drivers operating CMVs 

to have a CDL issued by one of the 

States. A copy of the request for 

exemption is in the docket identified at 

the beginning of this notice. The 

exemption allows these two drivers to 

operate CMVs to support Daimler field 

tests to meet future vehicle safety and 

environmental regulatory requirements 

and to promote the development of 

technology and advancements in 

vehicle safety systems and emissions 

reductions. These Daimler drivers will 

typically drive for no more than 6 hours 

per day for 2 consecutive days, and 10 

percent of the test driving will be on 

two-lane state highways, while 90 

percent will be on interstate highways. 

The driving for each driver will consist 

of no more than 200 miles per day for 

a total of 400 miles during a two-day 

period on a quarterly basis. 

49 CFR 383.21 requires CMV drivers 

in the United States to have a CDL 

issued by a State. Weiberg and Holloh 

are citizens and residents of Germany. 

Only residents of a State can apply for 

a CDL.1 Without the exemption,
