Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 117 / Friday, June 19, 2009 / Notices 29267 

limited exemption from the 

requirements of 49 CFR 395.3(a)(2). This 

regulation prohibits a driver from 

driving after the 14th hour of coming on 

duty and does not permit off-duty 

periods to extend the 14-hour limit. 

Drivers covered by this exemption may 

exclude off-duty and sleeper-berth time 

of any length from the calculation of the 

14-hour limit. These drivers must 

continue to obtain 10 consecutive hours 

off duty prior to the 14-hour period, and 

remain subject to the 11-hour driving 

time limit, the 60- and 70-hour on-duty 

limits, and all other requirements of 49 

CFR part 395. 

Preemption 

During the period the exemption is in 

effect, no State shall enforce any law or 

regulation that conflicts with or is 

inconsistent with this exemption with 

respect to a person operating under the 

exemption (49 U.S.C. 31315(d)). 

Notification to FMCSA 

Under the exemption, each APA 

member company, firm and entity listed 

in the appendix to this notice must 

notify FMCSA within 5 business days of 

any accident (as defined in 49 CFR 

390.5), involving any of the motor 

carrier’s CMVs, operating under the 

terms of this exemption. The 

notification must include the following 

information: 

a. Date of the accident, 

b. City or town, and State, in which 

the accident occurred, or closest to the 

accident scene, 

c. Driver’s name and license number, 

d. Vehicle number and State license 

number, 

e. Number of individuals suffering 

physical injury, 

f. Number of fatalities, 

g. The police-reported cause of the 

accident, 

h. Whether the driver was cited for 

violation of any traffic laws, or motor 

carrier safety regulations, and 

i. The total driving time and total onduty time period prior to the accident. 

Termination 

FMCSA does not believe the motor 

carriers and drivers covered by this 

exemption will experience any 

deterioration of their safety record. 

However, should this occur, FMCSA 

will take all steps necessary to protect 

the public interest, including revocation 

of the exemption. FMCSA will 

immediately revoke the exemption for 

failure to comply with its terms and 

conditions. Each motor carrier and each 

driver may be subject to periodic 

monitoring by FMCSA during the 

period of the exemption.
