FR 23054, 79 FR 73400). In addition, for
Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)
holders, the Commercial Driver’s
License information System (CDLIS)
and the Motor Carrier Management
Information System (MCMIS) are
searched for crash and violation data.
For non-CDL holders, the Agency
reviews the driving records from the
State Driver’s Licensing Agency (SDLA).
These factors provide an adequate basis
for predicting each driver’s ability to
continue to safely operate a CMV in
interstate commerce.
The 10 drivers in this notice remain
in good standing with the Agency, have
maintained their medical monitoring,
and have not exhibited any medical
issues that would compromise their
ability to safely operate a CMV during
the previous two-year exemption
period. FMCSA has concluded that
renewing the exemptions for each of
these applicants is likely to achieve a
level of safety equal to that existing
without the exemption. Therefore,
FMCSA has decided to renew each
exemption for a two-year period. In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315, each driver has received a
renewed exemption.
As of June 9, 2016, David Crowe (VA)
has satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the
Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders
prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) from
driving CMVs in interstate commerce
(79 FR 23054). This driver was included
in FMCSA–2013–0109. The exemption
was effective on June 9, 2016, and will
expire on June 9, 2018.
As of June 24, 2016, the following 9
individuals have satisfied the renewal
conditions for obtaining an exemption
from the Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders
prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) from
driving CMVs in interstate commerce
(79 FR 73400):
Travis Arend (VA)
Heath Crowe (LA)
Richard Degnan (AZ)
Peter DellaRocco (PA)
Domenick Panfie (NJ)
Scott Reaves (TX)
Milton Tatham (NV)
Thomas Tincher (VA)
Duane Troff (MN)
These drivers were included in
FMCSA–2013–0444. The exemptions
were effective on June 24, 2016, and
will expire on June 24, 2018.
The exemptions are extended subject
to the following conditions: (1) Each
driver must remain seizure-free and
maintain a stable treatment during the
two-year exemption period; (2) each

V. Preemption
During the period the exemption is in
effect, no State shall enforce any law or
regulation that conflicts with this
exemption with respect to a person
operating under the exemption.
VI. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 10
exemption applications, FMCSA renews
the exemptions of the aforementioned
drivers from the Epilepsy and Seizure
Disorders requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8). In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each
exemption will be valid for two years
unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.

The drivers were included in Docket
No. FMCSA–2012–0219. Their
exemptions are effective as of October
31, 2016, and will expire on October 31,
2018.
Each of the 116 drivers in the
aforementioned groups qualifies for a
renewal of the exemption. They have
maintained their required medical
monitoring and have not exhibited any
medical issues that would compromise
their ability to safely operate a CMV
during the previous 2-year exemption
period.
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 of the 116 drivers for a period
of two years is likely to achieve a level
of safety equal to that existing without
the exemption. The drivers were
included in docket numbers FMCSA–
2010–0247; FMCSA–2012–0128;
FMCSA–2012–0217; FMCSA–2012–
0219; FMCSA–2014–0021.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315,
each exemption will be valid for two
years from the effective date unless
revoked earlier by FMCSA. The
exemption will be revoked if the
following occurs: (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 prior to being granted;
or (3) continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and
31315.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. 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 47 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 statute.
II. Qualifications of Applicants
Luciano Abreu
Mr. Abreu, 61, has had ITDM since
2016. His endocrinologist examined him
in 2016 and certified that he has had no
severe hypoglycemic reactions resulting
in loss of consciousness, requiring the
assistance of another person, or
resulting in impaired cognitive function
that occurred without warning in the
past 12 months and no recurrent (2 or
more) severe hypoglycemic episodes in
the last 5 years. His endocrinologist
certifies that Mr. Abreu understands
diabetes management and monitoring,
has stable control of his diabetes using
insulin, and is able to drive a CMV
safely. Mr. Abreu meets the
requirements of the vision standard at
49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). His
ophthalmologist examined him in 2016
and certified that he does not have
diabetic retinopathy. He holds an
operator’s license from New Jersey.

II. Background
On November 15, 2016, FMCSA published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 116 individuals from the insulin-
treated diabetes mellitus prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) to operate
a CMV in interstate commerce and requested comments from the public (81
FR 80164). The public comment period ended on December 15, 2016 and no
comments were received.
As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of
[[Page 3844]]
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)(3).
The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding diabetes
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring
insulin for control.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.
IV. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 116 renewal exemption applications
and that no comments were received, FMCSA confirms its' decision to
exempt the following drivers from the rule prohibiting drivers with
ITDM from driving CMVs in interstate commerce in 49 CFR 391.64(3):
As of October 8, 2016, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, the following individual, Gary B. Bland (GA) has satisfied
the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the rule
prohibiting drivers with ITDM from driving CMVs in interstate commerce.
(75 FR 52813; 75 FR 64394):
The driver was included in Docket No. FMCSA-2010-0247. The

prohibiting drivers with ITDM from driving CMVs in interstate commerce
(77 FR 56258; 77 FR 65929):
Edward K. Belcher (KY)

The drivers were included in Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0219. Their
exemptions are effective as of October 31, 2016, and will expire on
October 31, 2018.
Each of the 116 drivers in the aforementioned groups qualifies for
a renewal of the exemption. They have maintained their required medical
monitoring and have not exhibited any medical issues that would
compromise their ability to safely operate a CMV during the previous 2-
year exemption period.
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 of the
116 drivers for a period of two years is likely to achieve a level of
safety equal to that existing without the exemption. The drivers were
included in docket numbers FMCSA-2010-0247; FMCSA-2012-0128; FMCSA-
2012-0217; FMCSA-2012-0219; FMCSA-2014-0021.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315, each exemption will be valid
for two years from the effective date unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
The exemption will be revoked if the following occurs: (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
prior to being granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and
31315.
