Hours of Service of Drivers: RockTenn, Application for Renewal of Exemption
RockTenn has requested a renewal of its exemption from certain provisions of the hours-of-service (HOS) requirements for drivers of property-carrying vehicles. RockTenn currently holds an exemption for the period April 17, 2012, through April 16, 2014 for 11 shipping department employees and occasional substitute commercial driver's license (CDL) holders who transport paper mill products over a 275-foot stretch of public road between its shipping and receiving locations. RockTenn requested an exemption from the 14-hour rule and the requirement for 10 consecutive hours off duty before the start of the work day. The renewal of the exemption would allow these individuals occasionally to drive after the 14th hour after coming on duty and allow them to return to work following 8 consecutive hours off-duty.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Diabetes Mellitus

The pipeline and its alternatives are comprised of approximately 120 to 135 miles of underground 12-inch pipeline and ancillary facilities.
Qualification of Drivers; Application for Exemption; Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
FMCSA has received applications from three individuals with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for an exemption from the cardiovascular disease standard in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).

If granted, an exemption would allow these individuals with ICDs to operate a CMV in interstate commerce.
