Agency, have maintained their medical 

monitoring and have not exhibited any 

medical issues that would compromise 

their ability to safely operate a CMV 

during the previous 2-year exemption 

period. In addition, for Commercial 

Driver’s License (CDL) holders, the 

Commercial Driver’s License 

Information System and the Motor 

Carrier Management Information System 

are searched for crash and violation 

data. For non-CDL holders, the Agency 

reviews the driving records from the 

State Driver’s Licensing Agency. These 

factors provide an adequate basis for 

predicting each driver’s ability to 

continue to safely operate a CMV 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. 

As of September 30, 2021, and in 

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

31315(b), the following 13 individuals 

have satisfied the renewal conditions for 

obtaining an exemption from the 

epilepsy and seizure disorders 

prohibition in the FMCSRs for interstate 

CMV drivers: 

Ronald Boogay (NJ) 

Todd Brock (CO) 

Gary Cox (TX) 

Douglas Day (IN) 

Tina Farmer (PA) 

Jim Hughes (WA) 

David Kietzman (WI) 

Brian Kinkade (MO) 

Charles McCarthy (MA) 

Ryan Moore (NC) 

Tye Moore (TN) 

William Rainer, III (TX) 

Jerel Sayers (ID) 

The drivers were included in docket 

number FMCSA–2011–0389, FMCSA– 

2012–0050, FMCSA–2014–0381, 

FMCSA–2015–0117, FMCSA–2016– 

0008, FMCSA–2019–0028, FMCSA– 

2019–0030, or FMCSA–2019–0031. 

Their exemptions are applicable as of 

September 30, 2021 and will expire on 

September 30, 2021. 

V. Conditions and Requirements 

The exemptions are extended subject 

to the following conditions: (1) Each 

driver must remain seizure-free and 

maintain a stable treatment during the 

2-year exemption period; (2) each driver 

must submit annual reports from their 

treating physicians attesting to the 

stability of treatment and that the driver 

has remained seizure-free; (3) each 

driver must undergo an annual medical 

examination by a certified ME, as 

defined by § 390.5; and (4) 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 file if he/she is selfemployed. 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 on its evaluation of the 13 

exemption applications, FMCSA renews 

the exemptions of the aforementioned 

drivers from the epilepsy and seizure 

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

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.

Privacy Act 

DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its regulatory 

processes, in accordance with statute 49 

U.S.C. 31315(b)(6)(A). 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)). 

KeepTruckin’s Application for 

Exemption 

The FMCSRs require devices meeting 

the definition of ‘‘vehicle safety 

technology’’ to be mounted (1) not more 

than 4 inches below the upper edge of 

the area swept by the windshield 

wipers, or (2) not more than 7 inches 

above the lower edge of the area swept 

by the windshield wipers, and outside 

the driver’s sight lines to the road and 

highway signs and signals. KeepTruckin 

has applied for an exemption from 49 

CFR 393.60(e)(1) to allow its AI 

Dashcam system, which is equipped 

with camera(s) and safety technologies, 

to be mounted lower in the windshield 

than is currently permitted. 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 

KeepTruckin’s application for an 

exemption. 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.
