DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2014–0379] 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Epilepsy and Seizure 

Disorders 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of applications for 

exemptions; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces receipt of 

applications from 12 individuals for an 

exemption from the prohibition against 

persons with a clinical diagnosis of 

epilepsy or any other condition which 

is likely to cause a loss of consciousness 

or any loss of ability to operate a 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) from 

operating CMVs in interstate commerce. 

The regulation and the associated 

advisory criteria published in the Code 

of Federal Regulations as the 

‘‘Instructions for Performing and 

Recording Physical Examinations’’ have 

resulted in numerous drivers being 

prohibited from operating CMVs in 

interstate commerce based on the fact 

that they have had one or more seizures 

and are taking anti-seizure medication, 

rather than an individual analysis of 

their circumstances by a qualified 

medical examiner. If granted, the 

exemptions would enable these 

individuals who have had one or more 

seizures and are taking anti-seizure 

medication to operate CMVs for 2 years 

in interstate commerce. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 24, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

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 12 

individuals listed in this notice have 

recently requested an exemption from 

the epilepsy prohibition in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(8), which applies to drivers 

who operate CMVs as defined in 49 CFR 

390.5, in interstate commerce. Section 

391.41(b)(8) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a 

commercial motor vehicle if that person 

has no established medical history or 

clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any 

other condition which is likely to cause 

the loss of consciousness or any loss of 

ability to control a CMV. 

FMCSA provides medical advisory 

criteria for use by medical examiners in 

determining whether drivers with 

certain medical conditions should be 

certified to operate CMVs in intrastate 

commerce. The advisory criteria 

indicate that if an individual has had a 

sudden episode of a non-epileptic 

seizure or loss of consciousness of 

unknown cause which did not require 

anti-seizure medication, the decision 

whether that person’s condition is likely 

to cause the loss of consciousness or 

loss of ability to control a CMV should 

be made on an individual basis by the 

medical examiner in consultation with 

the treating physician. Before 

certification is considered, it is 

suggested that a 6-month waiting period 

elapse from the time of the episode. 

Following the waiting period, it is 

suggested that the individual have a 

complete neurological examination. If 

the results of the examination are 

negative and anti-seizure medication is 

not required, then the driver may be 

qualified. 

In those individual cases where a 

driver had a seizure or an episode of 

loss of consciousness that resulted from 

a known medical condition (e.g., drug 

reaction, high temperature, acute 

infectious disease, dehydration, or acute 

metabolic disturbance), certification 

should be deferred until the driver has 

fully recovered from that condition, has 

no existing residual complications, and 

is not taking anti-seizure medication. 

Drivers who have a history of epilepsy/ 

seizures, off anti-seizure medication and 

seizure-free for 10 years, may be 

qualified to operate a CMV in interstate 

commerce. Interstate drivers with a 

history of a single unprovoked seizure 

may be qualified to drive a CMV in 

interstate commerce if seizure-free and 

off anti-seizure medication for a 5-year 

period or more.

Hours of Service of Drivers: 

Specialized Carriers & Rigging 

Association (SC&RA); Application for 

Exemption 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

exemption; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has 

received an application from the 

Specialized Carriers & Rigging 

Association (SC&RA) for an exemption 

from the 30-minute rest break provision 

of the Agency’s hours-of-service (HOS) 

regulations for commercial motor 

vehicle (CMV) drivers. The requested 

exemption would apply to specialized 

carriers and drivers responsible for the 

transportation of loads that exceed 

normal weight and dimensional limits— 

oversize/overweight (OS/OW) loads— 

and require a permit issued by a 

government authority. Due to the nature 

of their operation, SC&RA believes that 

compliance with the 30-minute rest 

break rule is extremely difficult, 

primarily due to the limited (usually 

daylight) hours in which an OS/OW 

load can be transported as restricted by 

State permit requirements. SC&RA 

therefore requests this exemption for all 

permitted loads. FMCSA requests public 

comment on SC&RA’s application for 

exemption.
