SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations for a 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.’’ The
statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 2-year
period. The 12 individuals listed in this
notice have recently requested such an
exemption from the diabetes prohibition
in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce.
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate
the qualifications of each applicant to
determine whether granting the
exemption will achieve the required
level of safety mandated by the statutes.
