Background

Thirty-seven individuals petitioned

the FMCSA for an exemption from the

vision requirement in 49 CFR

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

of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in

interstate commerce. They are: Loa M.

Boggs, Anthony Brandano, Jerald D.

Davis, Vernon J. Dohrn, Stanley E.

Elliott, Elmer E. Gockley, Paul C.

Gruenberg, Tommy D. Habben, Glenn T.

Hehner, Carl R. Hunt, Shane M. Hunter,

Thomas M. Ingebretsen, Lonnie M.

Jones, Martin D. Keough, Ricky J.

Knutson, Randall B. Laminack, Norman

R. Lamy, James A. Lenhart, Dennis L.

Lockhart, Sr., Jerry J. Lord, Raymond P.

Madron, Ronald S. Mallory, Keith G.

McCully, Ernest L. McLendon, Charles J.

Morman, Eugene C. Murphy, Jack E.

Potts, Jr., Bernard A. Ranly, John E.

Rogstad, Jerry W. Russell, Stephen G.

Sniffin, John R. Snyder, Darwin J.

Thomas, Rene R. Trachsel, Stephen D.

Vice, John H. Voigts, and Kendle F.

Waggle, Jr.

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

the FMCSA may grant an exemption for

a renewable 2-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.’’

Accordingly, the FMCSA has evaluated

the 37 petitions on their merits and

made a determination to grant the

exemptions to all of them. On October

24, 2001, the agency published notice of

its receipt of applications from these 37

individuals, and requested comments

from the public (66 FR 53826). The

comment period closed on November

23, 2001. Two comments were received,

and their contents were carefully

considered by the FMCSA in reaching

the final decision to grant the petitions.
