Privacy Act 

DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its exemption 

process, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6). DOT posts these comments, 

without edit, including any personal 

information the commenter provides, to 

www.regulations.gov, as described in 

the system of records notice (DOT/ALL 

14—Federal Docket Management 

System), which can be reviewed at 

www.transportation.gov/privacy. 

II. Legal Basis 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b) to grant exemptions from 

certain parts of the Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). 

FMCSA must publish a notice of each 

exemption request in the Federal 

Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The 

Agency must provide the public an 

opportunity to inspect the information 

relevant to the application, including 

any safety analyses that have been 

conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. The Agency 

reviews the safety analyses and the 

public comments and determines 

whether granting the exemption would 

likely achieve a level of safety 

equivalent to or greater than the level 

that would be achieved by the current 

regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The 

decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register (49 

CFR 381.315(b)). If the Agency denies 

the request, it must state the reason for 

doing so. If the decision is to grant the 

exemption, the notice must specify the 

person or class of persons receiving the 

exemption and the regulatory provision 

or provisions from which an exemption 

is granted. The notice must specify the 

effective period of the exemption (up to 

5 years) and explain the terms and 

conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.315(c) and 49 CFR 381.300(b)). 

Pi Variable’s Application for Exemption 

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations require one of the following 

warning devices to be deployed when a 

CMV is stopped upon the traveled 

portion of a highway or the shoulder of 

a highway for any cause other than 

necessary traffic stops: (1) Three 

bidirectional emergency reflective 

triangles that conform to the 

requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle 

Safety Standard No. 125, § 571.125 of 

this title; or (2) At least 6 fusees or 3 

liquid-burning flares. The vehicle must 

have as many additional fusees or 

liquid-burning flares as are necessary to 

satisfy the requirements of § 392.22, (3) 

Other warning devices may be used in 

addition to, but not in lieu of, the 

required warning devices, provided 

those warning devices do not decrease 

the effectiveness of the required 

warning devices. Pi Variables has 

applied for an exemption from 49 CFR 

393.95(f)(2) to allow sequential flashing 

LED flare warning devices to be 

deployed in lieu of fusees or liquidburning flares A copy of the exemption 

application is included in the docket 

referenced at the beginning of this 

notice. 

Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

Pi Variable’s application for an 

exemption from 49 CFR 393.95(f)(2). All 

comments received before the close of 

business on the comment closing date 

indicated at the beginning of this notice 

will be considered and will be available 

for examination in the docket at the 

location listed under the ADDRESSES

section of this notice. Comments 

received after the comment closing date 

will be filed in the public docket and 

will be considered to the extent 

practicable. In addition to late 

comments, 

FMCSA will also continue to file, in 

the public docket, relevant information 

that becomes available after the 

comment closing date. Interested 

persons should continue to examine the 

public docket for new material.
