27700 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 89 / Monday, May 9, 2022 / Notices 

down as follows: 59 individuals/drivers, 

24 schools/school districts, the 

Pennsylvania Department of 

Transportation, and the ODE. Most of 

those expressing support for the 

application—primarily individuals/ 

drivers or training schools in the State 

of Ohio—repeatedly commented that 

the ODE training regulations for school 

bus drivers in Ohio already exceed the 

requirements set forth in the impending 

Federal ELDT regulations. 

The Commercial Vehicle Training 

Association (CVTA) and the National 

Association of Publicly Funded Truck 

Driving Schools (NAPFTDS), opposed 

the request. Also, Ancora Education and 

Roehl Transportation (Ancora/Roehl) 

expressed opposition to the request. In 

their jointly submitted comments, the 

CVTA and NAPFTDS stated: ‘‘The 

safety of children being transported to 

and from school is not negotiable and 

should not be part of any discussion 

that does not adhere to the highest level 

of commercial driver and passenger 

training standards. The ELDT rule was 

created for this very purpose. The ELDT 

rule seeks to improve the quality of CDL 

training and the safety of drivers 

nationwide by mandating uniform 

standards that apply to all new CDL 

applicants. The ODE must be held to the 

same standard as all other entities, 

especially those who transport 

children.’’ 

Ancora/Roehl also opposed 

application in their jointly filed 

comments, stating: ‘‘The petitioners 

claim that Ohio Pre-Service theory and 

BTW meet or exceed all Federal 

standards and that they should be 

exempt from ELDT. We believe that in 

the interest of transparency, improving 

safety on our busy roads that they 

should be held to the same rules as 

everyone else. If the ODE does, in fact, 

‘meet and exceed’ the ELDT 

requirements there is no reason as to 

why they cannot participate in the 

Training Provider Registry (TPR) as any 

other training provider. If FMCSA, 

grants this exemption we fear that this 

will lead to more exemptions, further 

exposing our children to unsafe drivers 

and road conditions.’’ Four other 

commenters offered no position either 

for or against the ODE request, 

including the National School 

Transportation Association. 

VI. FMCSA Safety Analysis and 

Decision 

FMCSA evaluated the ODE 

application and the public comments 

and denies the exemption request. 

When the Agency originally established 

the ELDT rule, the Entry-Level Driver 

Training Advisory Committee agreed to 

the rule’s core provisions through the 

Negotiated Rulemaking process. 

Furthermore, the Moving Ahead for 

Progress in the 21st Century (MAP–21) 

legislative statute which mandated the 

establishment of this rule, did include 

the passenger (P) endorsement within 

the scope of required ELDT. In light of 

the fact that 49 CFR part 383 currently 

requires that anyone seeking to obtain 

an S endorsement must also obtain a P 

endorsement, including the S 

endorsement training requirements in 

the ELDT final rule is entirely consistent 

with MAP–21. FMCSA believes that the 

S curriculum in the final rule will 

improve safety by providing a more 

complete approach to training that 

involves the transportation of all CMV 

passengers, including school children. 

FMCSA does not believe the ELDT 

rule unduly burdens those jurisdictions 

that already maintain reasonable S 

training requirements. States or 

localities currently requiring that school 

bus drivers obtain S training that meets 

or exceeds the minimum standard 

established by the ELDT rule will be 

minimally impacted because the rule 

does not impose additional training 

requirements on those programs. Any 

provider who currently offers S 

endorsement training that is equivalent 

to, or more stringent than, the 

curriculum set forth in the ELDT rule is 

eligible for listing on the TPR, 

presuming all instructor qualifications 

and other requirements are met. Entities 

eligible for listing on the TPR include, 

for example, individual school districts, 

State agencies or departments, and third 

parties that contract with States or 

localities. The two commenters in 

opposition CVTA/NAPFTDS and 

Ancora/Roehl commented to these same 

points, and the Agency concurs with 

these commenters. 

The ODE application does not provide 

an analysis of the safety impacts the 

requested exemption from the ELDT 

regulations may cause, and also does 

not provide adequate countermeasures 

to be undertaken to ensure that the 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to, or greater than, 

the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulations. Furthermore, 

through the Negotiated Rulemaking 

process, and the normal Agency notice 

and comment process for finalizing the 

ELDT rule, these provisions were agreed 

upon by the participants. 

For these reasons, FMCSA denies the 

request for exemption.
