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)). 

III. Intellistop’s Application for 

Exemption 

The FMCSRs require all exterior 

lamps (both required lamps and any 

additional lamps) to be steady-burning, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 112 / Monday, June 14, 2021 / Notices 31553 

except for turn signal lamps, hazard 

warning signal lamps, school bus 

warning lamps, amber warning lamps or 

flashing warning lamps on tow trucks 

and CMVs transporting oversized loads, 

and warning lamps on emergency and 

service vehicles authorized by State or 

local authorities. Intellistop has applied 

for an exemption from 49 CFR 393.25(e) 

to allow motor carriers to operate all 

CMVs, including flatbed trailers and 

straight trucks, equipped with 

Intellistop’s module which pulses the 

rear clearance, identification and brake 

lamps from a lower level lighting 

intensity to a higher-level lighting 

intensity 4 times in 2 seconds. A copy 

of the application is included in the 

docket referenced at the beginning of 

this notice. 

IV. Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

Intellistop’s application for an 

exemption from 49 CFR 393.25(e). 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.
