driver’s ability to continue to drive 

safely in interstate commerce. 

Therefore, FMCSA concludes that 

extending the exemption for each 

renewal applicant for a period of two 

years is likely to achieve a level of safety 

equal to that existing without the 

exemption. 

Request for Comments 

FMCSA will review comments 

received at any time concerning a 

particular driver’s safety record and 

determine if the continuation of the 

exemption is consistent with the 

requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315. However, FMCSA requests that 

interested parties with specific data 

concerning the safety records of these 

drivers submit comments by January 12, 

2015. 

FMCSA believes that the 

requirements for a renewal of an 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315 can be satisfied by initially 

granting the renewal and then 

requesting and evaluating, if needed, 

subsequent comments submitted by 

interested parties. As indicated above, 

the Agency previously published 

notices of final disposition announcing 

its decision to exempt these 9 

individuals from the Epilepsy and 

Seizure Disorders requirement in 49 

CFR 391.41(b)(8). The final decision to 

grant an exemption to each of these 

individuals was made on the merits of 

each case and made only after careful 

consideration of the comments received 

to its notices of applications. The 

notices of applications stated the 

medical condition of each applicant for 

an exemption from the Epilepsy and 

Seizure requirements. That information 

is available by consulting the above 

cited Federal Register publications. 

Interested parties or organizations 

possessing information that would 

otherwise show that any, or all, of these 

drivers are not currently achieving the 

statutory level of safety should 

immediately notify FMCSA. The 

Agency will evaluate any adverse 

evidence submitted and, if safety is 

being compromised or if continuation of 

the exemption would not be consistent 

with the goals and objectives of 49 

U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will 

take immediate steps to revoke the 

exemption of a driver.
