B. Privacy Act 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments 

from the public on the exemption 

request. 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

II. Background 

On October 1, 2021, FMCSA 

published a notice announcing its 

decision to renew exemptions for 12 

individuals from the hearing standard in 

49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) to operate a CMV 

in interstate commerce and requested 

comments from the public (86 FR 

54503). The public comment period 

ended on November 1, 2021, and no 

comments were received. 

FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility 

of these applicants and determined that 

renewing these exemptions would 

achieve a level of safety equivalent to, 

or greater than, the level that would be 

achieved by complying with 

§ 391.41(b)(11). 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding hearing found in 

§ 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person first perceives a forced 

whispered voice in the better ear at not 

less than 5 feet with or without the use 

of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of 

an audiometric device, does not have an 

average hearing loss in the better ear 

greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 

Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a 

hearing aid when the audiometric

device is calibrated to American 

National Standard (formerly ASA 

Standard) Z24.5—1951. 

This standard was adopted in 1970 

and was revised in 1971 to allow drivers 

to be qualified under this standard 

while wearing a hearing aid, 35 FR 

6458, 6463 (Apr. 22, 1970) and 36 FR 

12857 (July 3, 1971). 

III. Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

proceeding. 

IV. Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 12 

renewal exemption applications, 

FMCSA announces its decision to 

exempt the following drivers from the 

hearing requirement in § 391.41(b)(11). 

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 1, 2021, and in 

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

31315(b), the following seven 

individuals have satisfied the renewal 

conditions for obtaining an exemption

applicable as of October 1, 2021 and 

will expire on October 1, 2023. 

As of October 10, 2021, and in 

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

conditions for obtaining an exemption 

from the hearing requirement in the 

FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (86

number FMCSA–2019–0109. Their 

exemptions were applicable as of

October 10, 2023.

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

31315(b), the following two individuals

number FMCSA–2014–0387. Their

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b), each exemption will be valid 

for 2 years from the effective date unless 

revoked earlier by FMCSA. The 

exemption will be revoked if the 

following occurs: (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 prior to being 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).

holder with the proper CDL class and 

endorsements seated in the front seat of 

the vehicle while the CLP holder 

performs behind-the-wheel training on 

public roads or highways. The 

exemption allows a CLP holder who has 

passed the skills test but not yet 

received the CDL document to drive a 

C.R. England commercial motor vehicle 

(CMV) accompanied by a CDL holder 

who is not necessarily in the passenger 

seat, provided the driver has
