Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 147 / Wednesday, August 4, 2021 / Notices 42009 

driving experience and history provide 

an adequate basis for predicting their 

ability to drive safely in interstate 

commerce. Intrastate driving, like 

interstate operations, involves 

substantial driving on highways on the 

interstate system and on other roads 

built to interstate standards. Moreover, 

driving in congested urban areas 

exposes the driver to more pedestrian 

and vehicular traffic than exists on 

interstate highways. Faster reaction to 

traffic and traffic signals is generally 

required because distances between 

them are more compact. These 

conditions tax visual capacity and 

driver response just as intensely as 

interstate driving conditions. 

The applicants in this notice have 

driven CMVs with their limited vision 

in careers ranging for 5 to 80 years. In 

the past 3 years, no drivers were 

involved in crashes, and 2 drivers were 

convicted of moving violations in 

CMVs. All the applicants achieved a 

record of safety while driving with their 

vision impairment that demonstrates the 

likelihood that they have adapted their 

driving skills to accommodate their 

condition. As the applicants’ ample 

driving histories with their vision 

deficiencies are good predictors of 

future performance, FMCSA concludes 

their ability to drive safely can be 

projected into the future. 

Consequently, FMCSA finds that in 

each case exempting these applicants 

from the vision requirement in 

§ 391.41(b)(10) is likely to achieve a 

level of safety equal to that existing 

without the exemption. 

V. Conditions and Requirements 

The terms and conditions of the 

exemption are provided to the 

applicants in the exemption document 

and includes the following: (1) Each 

driver must be physically examined 

every year (a) by an ophthalmologist or 

optometrist who attests that the vision 

in the better eye continues to meet the 

standard in § 391.41(b)(10) and (b) by a 

certified medical examiner (ME) who 

attests that the individual is otherwise 

physically qualified under § 391.41; (2) 

each driver must provide a copy of the 

ophthalmologist’s or optometrist’s 

report to the ME at the time of the 

annual medical examination; and (3) 

each driver must provide a copy of the 

annual medical certification to the 

employer for retention in the driver’s 

qualification file, or keep a copy in his/ 

her driver’s qualification file if he/she is 

self-employed. The driver must also 

have a copy of the exemption when 

driving, for presentation to a duly 

authorized Federal, State, or local 

enforcement official. 

VI. Preemption 

During the period the exemption is in 

effect, no State shall enforce any law or 

regulation that conflicts with this 

exemption with respect to a person 

operating under the exemption. 

VII. Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 13 

exemption applications, FMCSA 

exempts the following drivers from the 

vision requirement, § 391.41(b)(10), 

subject to the requirements cited above: 

Gerald C. Adler (NH) 

Paul R. Beckett (MN) 

Robert W. Boyett (GA) 

Timothy W. Ford (SC) 

Aaron L. Fox (OH) 

James H. George (PA) 

Johnny M. Kruprzak (OH) 

Jackie L. Lawson (VA) 

Alec J Lindgren (NY) 

James M. McCleary (OH) 

Richard A. Parker II (KS) 

Robert B. Sundvor (ND) 

William R. Tessman (TX) 

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

and 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).

C. Privacy Act 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), 

DOT solicits comments from the public 

to better inform its rulemaking process. 

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 FDMS), which can be reviewed at 

www.transportation.gov/privacy. 

II. Background 

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

31315(b), FMCSA may grant an 

exemption from the FMCSRs for no 

longer than a 5-year period if it finds 

such exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to, or 

greater than, the level that would be 

achieved absent such exemption. The 

statute also allows the Agency to renew 

exemptions at the end of the 5-year 

period. FMCSA grants medical 

exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2- 

year period to align with the maximum 

duration of a driver’s medical 

certification. 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding vision found in 49 

CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person has distant visual acuity of 

at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye 

without corrective lenses or visual 

acuity separately corrected to 20/40 

(Snellen) or better with corrective 

lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 

20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or 

without corrective lenses, field of vision 

of at least 70° in the horizontal meridian 

in each eye, and the ability to recognize 

the colors of traffic signals and devices 

showing red, green, and amber.

42012 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 147 / Wednesday, August 4, 2021 / Notices 

The 123 individuals listed in this 

notice have requested renewal of their 

exemptions from the vision standard in 

§ 391.41(b)(10), in accordance with 

FMCSA procedures. Accordingly, 

FMCSA has evaluated these 

applications for renewal on their merits 

and decided to extend each exemption 

for a renewable 2-year period. 

III. Request for Comments 

Interested parties or organizations 

possessing information that would 

otherwise show that any, or all, of these 

drivers are not currently achieving the 

statutory level of safety should 

immediately notify FMCSA. The 

Agency will evaluate any adverse 

evidence submitted and, if safety is 

being compromised or if continuation of 

the exemption would not be consistent 

with the goals and objectives of 49 

U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA 

will take immediate steps to revoke the 

exemption of a driver. 

IV. Basis for Renewing Exemptions 

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

and 31315(b), each of the 123 applicants 

has satisfied the renewal conditions for 

obtaining an exemption from the vision 

standard (see 63 FR 66226, 64 FR 16517,

have submitted evidence showing that 

the vision in the better eye continues to 

meet the requirement specified at 

§ 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision 

impairment is stable. In addition, a 

review of each record of safety while 

driving with the respective vision 

deficiencies over the past 2 years 

indicates each applicant continues to 

meet the vision exemption 

requirements. These factors provide an 

adequate basis for predicting each 

driver’s ability to continue to drive 

safely in interstate commerce. 

Therefore, FMCSA concludes that 

extending the exemption for each 

renewal applicant for a period of 2 years 

is likely to achieve a level of safety 

equal to that existing without the 

exemption. 

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

and 31315(b), the following groups of 

drivers received renewed exemptions in 

the month of September and are

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

V. Conditions and Requirements 

The exemptions are extended subject 

to the following conditions: (1) Each 

driver must undergo an annual physical 

examination (a) by an ophthalmologist 

or optometrist who attests that the 

vision in the better eye continues to 

meet the requirements in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), and (b) by a certified 

medical examiner (ME), as defined by 

§ 390.5, who attests that the driver is 

otherwise physically qualified under 

§ 391.41; (2) each driver must provide a 

copy of the ophthalmologist’s or 

optometrist’s report to the ME at the 

time of the annual medical examination; 

and (3) each driver must provide a copy 

of the annual medical certification to 

the employer for retention in the 

driver’s qualification file or keep a copy 

of his/her driver’s qualification if he/her 

is self-employed. The driver must also 

have a copy of the exemption when 

driving, for presentation to a duly 

authorized Federal, State, or local 

enforcement official. The exemption 

will be rescinded if: (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 before it 

was 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). 

VI. Preemption 

During the period the exemption is in 

effect, no State shall enforce any law or 

regulation that conflicts with this 

exemption with respect to a person 

operating under the exemption. 

VII. Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 123 

exemption applications, FMCSA renews 

the exemptions of the aforementioned 

drivers from the vision requirement in 

§ 391.41(b)(10), subject to the 

requirements cited above. In accordance 

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

each exemption will be valid for 2 years 

unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
