Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Vision 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to renew exemptions for 125 

individuals from the vision requirement 

in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations (FMCSRs) for interstate 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers. The exemptions enable these 

individuals to continue to operate CMVs 

in interstate commerce without meeting 

the vision requirement in one eye. 

DATES: Each group of renewed 

exemptions were applicable on the 

dates stated in the discussions below 

and will expire on the dates stated in 

the discussions below.

II. Background 

On July 18, 2017, FMCSA published 

a notice announcing its decision to 

renew exemptions for 125 individuals 

from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10) to operate a CMV in 

interstate commerce and requested 

comments from the public (82 FR 

32919). The public comment period 

ended on August 17, 2017 and no 

comments were received. 

As stated in the previous notice, 

FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of 

these applicants and determined that 

renewing these exemptions would 

achieve a level of safety equivalent to or 

greater than the level that would be 

achieved by complying with the current 

regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding vision found in 49 

CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person: 

Has distant visual acuity of at least 20/40 

(Snellen) in each eye without corrective 

lenses or visual acuity separately corrected to 

20/40 (Snellen) or better with corrective 

lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/ 

40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or without 

corrective lenses, field of vision of at least 

70° in the horizontal meridian in each eye, 

and the ability to recognize the colors of

green, and amber. 

III. Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

preceding. 

VI. Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 125 

renewal exemption applications and 

comments received, FMCSA confirms 

its decision to exempt the following 

drivers from the vision requirement in 

49 CFR 391.41 (b)(10): 

As of August 8, 2017, and in 

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

31315, the following 49 individuals 

have satisfied the renewal conditions for 

obtaining an exemption from the vision 

requirement in the FMCSRs for
