Temple, TX 

Temple & Central Texas Railway, Inc. 

(TC), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR 

1150.31 to operate about 7.7 miles of 

unmarked rail line (the line) owned by 

the City of Temple (the City), in Bell 

County, TX.1 TC states that it intends to 

interchange traffic with BNSF Railway 

Company (BNSF).2

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified notice of 

exemption for Patriot Rail, LLC, Patriot 

Rail Holdings LLC, and Patriot Rail 

Corp. to continue in control of TC upon 

TC’s becoming a Class III rail carrier. 

See STB Finance Docket No. 35256,

LLC, and Patriot Rail Corp.— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Temple & Central Texas Railway, Inc. 

The transaction is expected to be 

consummated on or after August 1, 

2009. 

TC certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of the transaction 

will not result in TC becoming a Class 

II or Class I rail carrier and further 

certifies that its projected annual 

revenue will not exceed $5 million. 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 (2007),

following activities at any solid waste 

rail transfer facility: Collecting, storing 

or transferring solid waste outside of its 

original shipping container; or 

separating or processing solid waste

and shredding). The term ‘‘solid waste’’ 

is defined in section 1004 of the Solid 

Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6903. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

may be filed at any time. The filing of 

a petition to revoke will not 

automatically stay the effectiveness of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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. 

Exemption Decision 

This notice addresses 28 individuals 

who have requested a renewal of their 

exemption in accordance with FMCSA 

procedures. FMCSA has evaluated these 

28 applications for renewal on their 

merits and decided to extend each 

exemption for a renewable two-year 

period. They are: 

Glenn A. Babcock, Jr. 

JeanPierre Brefort 

Joey E. Buice 

James T. Butler, Jr. 

Paul W. Dawson 

Lois E. De Souza 

James M. Eads 

Jay E. Finney 

Steven A. Garrity 

Waylon E. Hall 

Gary D. Hallman 

John R. Hughes 

Edward J. Kasper

Tim M. Seavy 

Boyd D. Stamey 

Randy D. Stanley 

Harry J. Stoever 

Lee T. Taylor 

James M. Tayman, Sr. 

Scott C. Teich 

John E. Terrell 

These exemptions are extended 

subject to the following conditions: (1) 

That each individual have a physical 

examination every year (a) by an 

ophthalmologist or optometrist who 

attests that the vision in the better eye 

continues to meet the standard 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 

provide 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 retain 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. 

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 28 applicants has 

satisfied the entry conditions for 

obtaining an exemption from the vision 

requirements (63 FR 66226; 64 FR 

16517; 66 FR 41656; 68 FR 44837; 70 FR 

41811; 72 52421; 65 FR 66286; 66 FR 

13825; 68 FR 13360; 70 FR 12265; 68 FR 

10300; 65 FR 7546; 72 FR 44915; 66 FR 

33990; 66 FR 30502; 68 FR 10301; 68 FR 

19596; 70 FR 25878; 72 FR 28093; 68 FR 

19598; 68 FR 33570; 70 FR 2701; 70 FR 

16887; 70 FR 17504; 70 FR 30997; 72 FR 

9397; 72 FR 182; 72 FR 8417; 72 FR 

36099). Each of these 28 applicants has 

requested renewal of the exemption and 

has submitted evidence showing that 

the vision in the better eye continues to 

meet the standard 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 standards. 

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. 

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 August 14, 

2009. 

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 28 

individuals from the vision requirement 

in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final 

decision to grant an exemption to each 

of these individuals was based on the 

merits of each case and only after 

careful consideration of the comments 

received to its notices of applications. 

The notices of applications stated in 

detail the qualifications, experience, 

and medical condition of each applicant 

for an exemption from the vision 

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

exemption of a driver.
