B. Privacy Act 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments 

from the public on the exemption 

request. 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 

https://www.transportation.gov/ 

individuals/privacy/privacy-act-systemrecords-notices, the comments are 

searchable by the name of the submitter. 

II. Background 

On October 25, 2024, FMCSA 

published a notice announcing its 

decision to renew exemptions for 10 

individuals from the epilepsy and 

seizure disorders prohibition in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(8) to operate a CMV in 

interstate commerce and requested 

comments from the public (89 FR 

85284). The public comment period 

ended on November 25, 2024, and no 

comments were received. 

FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility 

of these applicants and determined that 

renewing these exemptions would likely 

achieve a level of safety that is 

equivalent to, or greater than, the level 

that would be achieved by complying 

with § 391.41(b)(8). 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding epilepsy found in 

§ 391.41(b)(8) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person has no established medical 

history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy 

or any other condition which is likely 

to cause the loss of consciousness or any 

loss of ability to control a CMV. 

In addition to the regulations, FMCSA 

has published advisory criteria 1 to 

assist medical examiners in determining 

whether drivers with certain medical 

conditions are qualified to operate a 

CMV in interstate commerce. 

III. Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

proceeding. 

IV. Conclusion 

Based on its evaluation of the 10 

renewal exemption applications and 

comments received, FMCSA announces 

its decision to exempt the following 

drivers from the epilepsy and seizure 

disorders prohibition in § 391.41(b)(8). 

As of November 15, 2024, and in 

accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315(b), the following eight 

individuals have satisfied the renewal 

conditions for obtaining an exemption 

from the epilepsy and seizure disorders 

prohibition in the FMCSRs for interstate 

CMV drivers (89 FR 85284): 

Kevin Beamon (NY) 

Gerald Klein (ID) 

Troy Nichols (TX) 

Henry Counts (MD) 

Thomas Kline (PA) 

Jeffrey T. Lang (PA) 

Terry Hamby (NC) 

Thomas Ork (NY) 

The drivers were included in docket 

number FMCSA–2015–0322, FMCSA– 

2016–0007, FMCSA–2018–0050, 

FMCSA–2018–0052, FMCSA–2018– 

0053, FMCSA–2020–0050, or FMCSA– 

2020–0051. Their exemptions were 

applicable as of November 15, 2024 and 

will expire on November 15, 2026. 

As of November 27, 2024, and in 

accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315(b), the following two individuals 

have satisfied the renewal conditions for 

obtaining an exemption from the 

epilepsy and seizure disorders 

prohibition in the FMCSRs for interstate 

CMV drivers (89 FR 85284): 

Billy Hunter (KY); and Devyn Roberts 

(KY). 

The drivers were included in docket 

number FMCSA–2020–0051. Their 

exemptions were applicable as of 

November 27, 2024 and will expire on 

November 27, 2026. 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b), each exemption will be valid 

for 2 years from the effective date unless 

revoked earlier by FMCSA. The 

exemption will be revoked if the 

following occurs: (1) the person fails to 

comply with the terms and conditions 

of the exemption; (2) the exemption has 

resulted in a lower level of safety than 

was maintained prior to being granted; 

or (3) continuation of the exemption 

would not be consistent with the goals 

and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315(b).
