SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 4007 of the Transportation 

Equity Act for the 21st Century (Pub. L. 

105–178, 112 Stat. 107, June 9, 1998) 

amended 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e) 

to provide authority to grant exemptions 

from motor carrier safety regulations. 

Under its regulations, 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. 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)) with the reason for 

denying or, in the alternative, the 

specific person or class of persons 

receiving the exemption, and the 

regulatory provision or provisions from 

which the exemption is granted. The 

notice must also specify the effective 

period of the exemption (up to 2 years), 

and explain the terms and conditions of 

the exemption. The exemption may be 

renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)). 

Request for Exemption 

Virginia DMV requests an exemption 

from 49 CFR 383.153(a)(4), which 

requires each CDL to contain a color 

photograph of the driver. A copy of the 

exemption application is in the docket 

referenced at the beginning of this 

notice. Virginia DMV proposes that it be 

allowed to use a black and white, laserengraved photograph on Virginia-issued 

CDLs in lieu of a color photograph. In 

its application for exemption, Virginia 

DMV explains that in January 2008, the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) issued the final rules on the 

REAL ID Act of 2005. As provided in 

the DHS rules 6 CFR 37.17(e)(2) 

provides that the photographs on REAL 

ID compliant driver’s licenses and 

identification cards ‘‘may be in black 

and white or color.’’

Virginia DMV believes that a black 

and white photograph is more effective 

than a color photograph in providing 

security and facilitating the proper 

identification of the license holder. It 

explains that a black and white 

photograph created with a laser cannot 

easily be altered. In addition, Virginia 

DMV explains that a black and white 

photograph enhances the identification 

of an individual since it places the focus 

on the actual facial features of the 

individual rather than on characteristics 

that can easily be altered, such as hair 

or eye color. Virginia DMV believes that 

the issuance of CDLs with black and 

white photographs would enhance the 

security of the credential and assist law 

enforcement officials with the 

identification of the CDL holder. In its 

application for exemption Virginia DMV 

provides information from its 

contractor, CBN Secure Technologies, 

Inc., that offers further explanation 

regarding the advantages of using black 

and white photographs on CDLs. 

Virginia DMV’s proposed exemption 

would apply to all CDLs issued by the 

Commonwealth of Virginia. Presently, 

approximately 216,000 Virginians hold 

valid CDLs. Virginia DMV anticipates 

that, if the requested exemption is 

granted, it would begin issuing CDLs 

with black and white photographs in 

January 2009. 

Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(4) and 31136(e), FMCSA 

requests public comment on Virginia 

DMV’s application for an exemption 

from 49 CFR 383.153(a)(4). 

The Agency will consider all 

comments received by close of business 

on September 4, 2008. Comments will 

be available for examination in the 

docket at the location listed under the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. The 

Agency will consider to the extent 

practicable comments received in the 

public docket after the closing date of 

the comment period.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Vision 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of denials. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its denial 

of 381 applications from individuals 

who requested exemptions 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: Dr. 

Mary D. Gunnels, Director, Medical 

Programs, 202–366–4001, U.S. 

Department of Transportation, FMCSA, 

1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room 

W64–224, Washington, DC 20590–0001. 

Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

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 two-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 out in 

49 CFR part 381. 

Accordingly, FMCSA evaluated these 

381 individual exemption requests on 

their merits and made the 

determinations 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 his/her exemption 


dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 5, 2008 / Notices 45517 

request. Those decision letters fully 

outlined the basis for the denial and 

constitute final Agency action. The list 

published today summarizes the 

Agency’s recent denials as required 

under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by 

periodically publishing names and 

reasons for denials.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

FMCSA may grant an exemption for a 2- 

year period if it finds ‘‘such exemption 

would likely achieve a level of safety 

that is equivalent to, or greater than, the 

level that would be achieved absent 

such exemption.’’ The statutes also 

allow the Agency to renew exemptions 

at the end of the 2-year period. The 47 

individuals listed in this notice have 

recently requested exemptions from the 

diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(3), which applies to drivers of 

CMVs in interstate commerce. 

Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate 

the qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting an 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by the statutes. 

Qualifications of Applicants 

Robert V. Balmes 

Mr. Balmes, age 40, has had ITDM 

since 2004. His endocrinologist 

examined him in 2008 and certified that 

he has had no hypoglycemic reactions 

resulting in loss of consciousness, 

requiring the assistance of another 

person, or resulting in impaired 

cognitive function that occurred without 

warning in the past 5 years; understands 

diabetes management and monitoring; 

and has stable control of his diabetes 

using insulin, and is able to drive a 

CMV safely. Mr. Balmes meets the 

requirements of the vision standard at 

49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). His optometrist 

examined him in 2008 and certified that 

he does not have diabetic retinopathy. 

He holds a Class A Commercial Driver’s 

License (CDL) from Illinois. 

David R. Bauerdorf 

Mr. Bauerdorf, 34, has had ITDM 

since 1993. His endocrinologist 

examined him in 2008 and certified that 

he has had no hypoglycemic reactions 

resulting in loss of consciousness, 

requiring the assistance of another 

person, or resulting in impaired 

cognitive function that occurred without 

warning in the past 5 years; understands 

diabetes management and monitoring;
