**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
