47710 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 163 / Thursday, August 26, 2021 / Notices 

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)). 

III. Cliff’s Application for Exemption 

Cliffs, formerly known as 

ArcelorMittal, requests an exemption to 

allow its employee-drivers with CDLs 

who transport scrap metal on two trucks 

between their production and shipping 

locations to work up to 16 hours per day 

and return to work with less than the 

mandatory 10 consecutive hours off 

duty. The request is similar to the 

exemption previously granted that 

allows Cliffs’ drivers transporting steel 

coils to work the same HOS, and travel 

the same distances and routes between 

their production and shipping locations. 

Unlike the steel coil exemption, the 

scrap trucks would comply with the 

definition of a ‘‘heavy hauler trailer’’ in 

49 CFR 393.5; the required ‘‘height of 

rear side marker lights restrictions’’ in 

49 CFR 393.11 Table1—Footnote 4; the 

‘‘tire loading restrictions’’ in 49 CFR 

393.75(f); and the ‘‘coil securement 

requirements’’ in 49 CFR 393.120. 

IV. Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

Cliffs’ exemption request. The request 

was submitted as part of Cliffs’ 

exemption renewal application 

mentioned above. As a new request, 

however, it is subject to the separate 

notice and comment provided by this 

document. 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.

Associate Administrator for Policy.

C. Privacy Act 

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

DOT solicits comments from the public 

to better inform its regulatory 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. 

The 102 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 102 applicants 

has satisfied the renewal conditions for 

obtaining an exemption from the vision 

standard (see 63 FR 66226, 64 FR 16517,

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 October and are discussed 

below. As of October 3, 2021, and in 

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

31315(b), the following 85 individuals

obtaining an exemption from the vision 

requirement in the FMCSRs for 

interstate CMV drivers (63 FR 66226, 64

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. 

VI. Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 102 

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 two 

years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
