Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2015–0349] 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Vision 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of denials. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its denial 

of 345 applications from individuals 

who requested an exemption from the 

Federal vision standard applicable to 

interstate truck and bus drivers and the 

reasons for the denials. FMCSA has 

statutory authority to exempt 

individuals from the vision requirement 

if the exemptions granted will not 

compromise safety. The Agency has 

concluded that granting these 

exemptions does not provide a level of 

safety that will be equivalent to, or 

greater than, the level of safety 

maintained without the exemptions for 

these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christine A. Hydock, Chief, Medical 

Programs Division, (202) 366–4001, 

fmcsamedical@dot.gov, FMCSA, 

Department of Transportation, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W64– 

113, Washington, DC 20590–0001. 

Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., e.t., 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

the Federal vision standard for a 

renewable 2-year period if it finds ‘‘such 

an exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to or 

greater than the level that would be 

achieved absent such an exemption.’’ 

The procedures for requesting an 

exemption are set forth in 49 CFR part 

381. 

Accordingly, FMCSA evaluated 345 

individual exemption requests on their 

merit and made a determination that 

these applicants do not satisfy the 

criteria eligibility or meet the terms and 

conditions of the Federal exemption 

program. Each applicant has, prior to 

this notice, received a letter of final 

disposition on the exemption request. 

Those decision letters fully outlined the 

basis for the denial and constitute final 

Agency action. The list published in 

this notice summarizes the Agency’s 

recent denials as required under 49 

U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically 

publishing names and reasons for 

denial.
