DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2012–0132] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records Notice 

AGENCY: Department of Transportation 

(DOT), Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA). 

ACTION: Notice to establish a new system 

of records. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Motor 

Carrier Administration (FMCSA) 

intends to establish a new Federal 

Motor Carrier system of records titled 

‘‘DOT/FMCSA 009—National Registry 

of Certified Medical Examiners’’ 

(National Registry), under the Privacy 

Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). 

The DOT system, known as the 

National Registry of Certified Medical 

Examiners (National Registry), is used to 

produce trained, certified medical 

examiners who fully understand the 

medical standards in the Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). 

Medical Examiners (MEs) will be 

expected to understand how the FMCSR 

standards relate to the mental and 

physical demands of operating a 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV). MEs 

will be required to successfully 

complete training and pass a 

certification test before being listed on 

the National Registry. Once the National 

Registry program is established, FMCSA 

will require all interstate CMV drivers to 

obtain their medical certificates from a 

medical examiner listed on the National 

Registry. The general public can search 

and access information about the 

National Registry program, including 

the program description, contact 

information, and National Registry 

Number for all FMCSA Certified MEs, 

Test Delivery Organizations and their 

affiliated Test Centers through the 

publicly available Web site. 

MEs who choose to pursue FMCSA 

certification to conduct CMV medical 

exams will register with FMCSA 

through the National Registry Web site. 

FMCSA will track the MEs’ status of 

completion of the required FMCSA 

medical examiners’ certification 

process. The MEs will be required to 

successfully complete FMCSA-approved 

training prior to taking the FMCSA ME 

certification test at an FMCSA-approved 

testing organization, at an affiliated test 

center’s facility, or by means of online 

testing. 

Test Developers for FMCSA will 

create and revise the certification test 

questions and answers that will be 

administered by Test Centers. Test 

Developers will analyze medical 

examiner’s test certification responses to 

identify future improvements and 

modifications to test questions. They 

will also analyze the test questions and 

answers to identify potential patterns of 

fraud and abuse in the testing process 

and medical community. 

The Test Centers will verify and 

document the ME’s identity, medical 

licensing, and training completion prior 

to administering the FMCSA ME 

certification test. Test Centers will 

administer the FMCSA Certification test 

according to FMCSA specifications and 

are responsible for submitting the 

medical examiner certification test 

results to the National Registry. Testing 

organizations that offer testing of MEs 

by means of online testing will provide 

a means to authenticate the identity of 

the person taking the test, to monitor the
