In the Matter of the Review of the 

Designation of Popular Front for the 

Liberation of Palestine—General 

Command as a Foreign Terrorist 

Organization Pursuant to Section 219 

of the Immigration and Nationality Act 

Based upon a review of the 

Administrative Record assembled in 

this matter pursuant to Section 

219(a)(4)(C) and (b) of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act, as amended (8 

U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)(C), (b)) (‘‘INA’’), and in 

consultation with the Attorney General 

and the Secretary of the Treasury, the 

Secretary of State concludes that the 

circumstances that were the basis for the 

2008 decision to maintain the 

designation of the aforementioned 

organization as a foreign terrorist 

organization have not changed in such 

a manner as to warrant revocation of the 

designation and that the national 

security of the United States does not 

warrant a revocation of the designation 

of the Popular Front for the Liberation 

of Palestine—General Command. 

Therefore, the Secretary of State 

hereby determines that the designation 

of the aforementioned organization as a 

foreign terrorist organization, pursuant 

to Section 219 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 

1189), shall be maintained. 

This determination shall be published 

in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

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

FMCSA may renew an exemption from 

the vision requirements in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers 

of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a 

two-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 

procedures for requesting an exemption 

(including renewals) are set out in 49 

CFR part 381. 

II. Exemption Decision 

This notice addresses 21 individuals 

who have requested renewal of their 

exemptions in accordance with FMCSA 

procedures. FMCSA has evaluated these 

21 applications for renewal on their 

merits and decided to extend each 

exemption for a renewable two-year 

period. They are: 

Gary Alvarez (MA) 

James M. Brasher (AL) 

Donald G. Brock, Jr. (NC) 

Leon C. Flynn (TX) 

Eugene W. Harnisch (WI) 

Brett K. Hasty (GA) 

Garry D. Layton (TX) 

Boynton L. Manuel (SC) 

Jimmy R. Mauldin (OK) 

Patrick J. McMillen (WI) 

Anthony W. Miller (OH) 

Rocky Moorhead (NM) 

Gary L. Nicholas (MI) 

Lynn R. Schraeder (IA) 

Ranjodh Singh (CA) 

Myron A. Smith (MN) 

Jose M. Suarez (TX) 

Glen W. Sterling (LA) 

Ricky Watts (FL) 

Olen L. Williams, Jr. (TN) 

Richard L. Zacher (OR) 

The exemptions are extended subject 

to the following conditions: (1) That 

each individual has a physical 

examination every year (a) by an 

ophthalmologist or optometrist who 

attests that the vision in the better eye 

continues to meet the requirements in 

49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and (b) by a 

medical examiner who attests that the 

individual is otherwise physically 

qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that 

each individual provides a copy of the 

ophthalmologist’s or optometrist’s 

report to the medical examiner at the 

time of the annual medical examination; 

and (3) that each individual provide a 

copy of the annual medical certification 

to the employer for retention in the 

driver’s qualification file and retains a 

copy of the certification on his/her 

person while driving for presentation to 

a duly authorized Federal, State, or local 

enforcement official. Each exemption 

will be valid for two years unless 

rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The 

exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The 

person fails to comply with the terms 

and conditions of the exemption; (2) the 

exemption has resulted in a lower level 

of safety than was maintained before it 

was granted; or (3) continuation of the 

exemption would not be consistent with 

the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315. 

III. Basis for Renewing Exemptions 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an 

exemption may be granted for no longer 

than two years from its approval date 

and may be renewed upon application 

for additional two-year periods. In 

accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315, each of the 21 applicants has 

satisfied the entry conditions for 

obtaining an exemption from the vision 

requirements (69 FR 17263; 69 FR 

31447; 70 FR 44946; 71 FR 43557; 71 FR 

63379; 72 FR 1050; 72 FR 58362; 72 FR 

67344; 73 FR 42403; 73 FR 78422; 74 FR 

57553; 75 FR 38602; 75 FR 54958; 75 FR 

69737; 75 FR 70078; 75 FR 72863; 75 FR 

77492; 75 FR 79079; 76 FR 1499; 76 FR 

2190; 76 FR 5425; 76 FR 70212; 77 FR 

60008; 77 FR 68202; 77 FR 71671; 77 FR 

74273; 77 FR 74733; 77 FR 76166; 78 FR 

800). Each of these 21 applicants has 

requested renewal of the exemption and 

has submitted evidence showing that 

the vision in the better eye continues to 

meet the requirement specified at 49 

CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision 

impairment is stable. In addition, a 

review of each record of safety while 

driving with the respective vision 

deficiencies over the past two years 

indicates each applicant continues to 

meet the vision exemption 

requirements. These factors provide an 

adequate basis for predicting each 

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.
