1MWRA, a governmental body, owns the line.

FRRC, MWRA’s wholly owned subsidiary, has the

residual common carrier obligation with respect to

the line. 2The line consists of approximately 1.83 miles of

branch line and approximately 1.93 miles of spur

and/or side track. 3FRT further states that, upon consummation,

Quincy Bay Terminal Co., the current operator of

the line, will cease all operations on the line. This

change in operators is exempt under 49 CFR

1150.31(a)(3).

here, but refer interested parties to those

earlier discussions.

Notwithstanding the FMCSA’s

ongoing review of the vision standard,

as evidenced by the medical panel’s

report dated October 16, 1998, and filed

in this docket, the FMCSA must comply

with Rauenhorst v. United States

Department of Transportation, Federal

Highway Administration, 95 F.3d 715

(8th Cir. 1996), and grant individual

exemptions under standards that are

consistent with public safety. Meeting

those standards, the 41 veteran drivers

in this case have demonstrated to our

satisfaction that they can continue to

operate a CMV with their current vision

condition safely in interstate commerce,

because they have demonstrated their

ability in intrastate commerce.

Accordingly, they qualify for an

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and

31136(e).

Conclusion

After considering the comments to the

docket and based upon its evaluation of

the 41 exemption applications in

accordance with the Rauenhorst

decision, the FMCSA exempts Jerry T.

Branam, Daniel R. Brewer, William A.

Burgoyne, Brett L. Condon, Mark W.

Coulson, Thomas W. Craig, Myron D.

Dixon, Terry W. Dooley, Don W. Dotson,

James W. Harris, Larry M. Hawkins,

S. Rehbein, David E. Sanders, Richard

C. Simms, David B. Speller, Royal H.

Stephens, Tyson C. Stone, Lynn D.

Veach, Kevin L. Wickard, Charles M.

Wilkins, and Michael C. Wines from the

vision requirement in 49 CFR

391.41(b)(10), subject to the following

conditions: (1) That each individual 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 49

CFR 391.41(b)(10) and (b) by a medical

examiner who attests that the individual

is otherwise physically qualified under

49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each individual

provide a copy of the ophthalmologist’s

or optometrist’s report to the medical

examiner at the time of the annual

medical examination; and (3) that each

individual 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 selfemployed. The driver must also have a

copy of the certification when driving,

so it may be presented to a duly

authorized Federal, State, or local

enforcement official.

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315

and 31136(e), each exemption will be

valid for 2 years unless rescinded earlier

by the FMCSA. 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. 31315 and 31136.

If the exemption is still effective at the

end of the 2-year period, the person may

apply to the FMCSA for a renewal under

procedures in effect at that time.

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 322, 31315 and 31136;

and 49 CFR 1.73.
