II. Exemption Decision
This notice addresses 14 individuals
who have requested renewal of their
exemptions in accordance with FMCSA
procedures. FMCSA has evaluated these
14 applications for renewal on their
merits and decided to extend each
exemption for a renewable two-year
period. They are:
Paul G. Albrecht (WI), David W. Brown
(TN), Monty G. Calderon (OH),
Awilda S. Colon (TN), Zane G.
Harvey, Jr. (VA), Jeffrey M. Keyser
(OH), Donnie A. Kildow (ID), Daniel
A. McNabb (KS), David G. Meyers
(NY), Rodney M. Pegg (PA), Zbigniew
P. Pietranik (WI), John C. Rodriguez
(PA), Charles E. Wood (IA), Joseph F.
Wood (MS).
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rescinded earlier by FMCSA.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exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The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 14 applicants has
satisfied the entry conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (65 FR 33406; 65 FR
57234; 65 FR 78256; 66 FR 16311; 67 FR
57266; 69 FR 52741; 69 FR 53493; 69 FR
62742; 71 FR 53489; 71 FR 62148; 73 FR

61925; 75 FR 59327; 77 FR 64583). Each
of these 14 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.
