(1) On the implementation of this title 

[the Act] and the amendments made by

Membership 

The current NPOAG is made up of 

one member representing general 

aviation, three members representing 

the commercial air tour industry, four 

members representing environmental 

concerns, and two members 

representing Native American interests. 

Current members of the NPOAG are as 

follows: 

Melissa Rudinger representing general 

aviation; John Becker, James Viola, and 

Eric Lincoln representing commercial 

air tour operators with one upcoming 

opening due to Eric Lincoln’s 3-year 

term ending; Dick Hingson, Les 

Blomberg, Robert Randall, and John 

Eastman representing environmental 

interests; and Carl Slater represents 

Native American tribes with one current 

opening. 

Selections 

Eric Lincoln has been chosen for 

another 3-year term as the air tour 

operator representative. NPOAG 

members’ 3-year terms commence on 

the publication date of this Federal 

Register notice. No selection was made 

for the additional opening to represent 

Native American concerns. The FAA 

and NPS invite persons interested in 

applying for this remaining opening on 

the NPOAG to contact Mr. Keith Lusk 

(contact information is written above in 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). 

Requests to serve on the NPOAG must 

be made to Mr. Lusk in writing and 

postmarked or emailed on or before 

August 31, 2021. The request should 

indicate whether or not you are a 

member of, or have an affiliation with, 

a federally recognized Native American 

tribe. The request should also state what 

expertise you would bring to the 

NPOAG as related to issues and 

concerns with aircraft flights over 

national parks and/or tribal lands. The 

term of service for NPOAG members is 

3 years. Current members may re-apply 

for another term. On August 13, 2014, 

the Office of Management and Budget 

issued revised guidance regarding the 

prohibition against appointing or not 

reappointing federally registered 

lobbyists to serve on advisory 

committees (79 FR 47482). 

Therefore, before appointing an 

applicant to serve on the NPOAG, the 

FAA and NPS will require the 

prospective candidate to certify that 

they are not a federally registered 

lobbyist.

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 three individuals listed in this 

notice have requested an exemption 

from 49 CFR 391.41(b)(4). Accordingly, 

the Agency will evaluate the 

qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting the 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute. 

The physical qualification standard 

found in § 391.41(b)(4) states that a 

person is physically qualified to drive a 

CMV if that person has no current 

clinical diagnosis of myocardial 

infarction, angina pectoris, coronary 

insufficiency, thrombosis, or any other 

cardiovascular disease of a variety 

known to be accompanied by syncope, 

dyspnea, collapse, or congestive cardiac 

failure. 

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. The 

advisory criteria states that ICDs are 

disqualifying due to risk of syncope. 

III. Qualifications of Applicants 

Willard Drysdale 

Mr. Drysdale is a CMV driver in 

Minnesota. An October 7, 2020, letter 

from his cardiologist reports that in 

2018, his pacemaker was upgraded to an 

ICD for preventive measures, that he 

was asymptomatic concerning his 

cardiac history at his last evaluation in 

2019, and that he has not required any 

device therapies for tachycardia. 

William Edwards 

Mr. Edwards is a CMV driver in New 

York State. A March 31, 2021, letter 

from his cardiac specialists reports that 

he is being treated with a biventricular 

ICD that was implanted in March 2020, 

and the device has never needed to 

deliver therapy. 

Francisco Garcia 

Mr. Garcia is a CMV driver in New 

Jersey. A March 4, 2021, letter from his 

cardiologist reports that his ICD was 

implanted for preventive measures, he 

has never had a sustained arrhythmia, 

and he has never passed out. His 

physician and the electrophysiologist 

who implanted his defibrillator both 

agree that it would be safe for Mr. Garcia 

to drive a CMV. 

IV. Request for Comments 

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

and 31315(b), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

the exemption petitions described in 

this notice. We will consider all 

comments received before the close of 

business on the closing date indicated 

under the DATES section of the notice.
