and equipment manufacturers for 

windshield wiper system coverage for 

passenger cars, multi-purpose passenger 

vehicles, trucks and buses. 

Greyhound states that video event 

recorders, for optimal effectiveness, are 

mounted on the vehicle windshield on 

the interior of the vehicle in a position 

that enables the video-capture of what is 

happening in front of the vehicle as well 

as an internal video-capture of the 

driver and passengers. The view of what 

is happening in front of the vehicle 

requires that the forward lens of the 

recorder be in the swept area of the 

windshield for a clear view in inclement 

weather. Greyhound states: 

‘‘Section 393.60(e)(1) was designed to 

avoid placement of devices on the 

windshield that would obstruct a driver’s 

useful view of the roadway. However, 

because of the increase of the size of 

motorcoach windows and the corresponding 

increase in the area swept by the windshield 

wipers, video event recorders now must be 

mounted so high on the window as to limit 

the view of drivers, passengers, and collision 

events. Thus, the level of safety that can be 

produced by use of video event recorders is 

limited by the current regulation. By 

comparison, the proposed alternative will 

enable Greyhound to lower the placement of 

the video event recorders to a level, which 

will maximize the external and internal 

views of the recorders while still having 

them mounted high enough so as not to limit 

the field of vision of the driver.’’

Greyhound notes in its exemption 

application that the Commercial Vehicle 

Safety Alliance (CVSA) submitted a 

petition for rulemaking to FMCSA on 

October 18, 2007, to amend 49 CFR 

393.60(e). The CVSA petition requests 

that the FMCSRs be amended to permit 

video event recorders and similar 

devices that require a clear forward 

facing visual field to be mounted not 

more than 50 mm (2 inches) below the 

upper edge of the area swept by the 

windshield wipers, provided that they 

are located outside the driver’s sight 

lines to the road and highway signs and 

signals. In its exemption application, 

Greyhound proposes to comply with the 

language proposed by the CVSA petition 

during the period of the exemption, if 

granted. A copy of the CVSA petition 

has been placed in the docket 

referenced at the beginning of this 

notice. 

Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315 

and 31136(e), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

Greyhound’s application for an 

exemption from 49 CFR 393.116(a)(3). 

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.
