Exemption Decision
Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e),
the FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers
of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a
two-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
procedures for requesting an exemption
(including renewals) are set out in 49
CFR part 381. This notice addresses 22
individuals who have requested renewal
of their exemptions in a timely manner.
The FMCSA has evaluated these 22
applications for renewal on their merits
and decided to extend each exemption
for a renewable two-year period. They
are:
Anthony Brandano, Norman R. Lamy,
John E. Rogstad, Ronald B. Brown,
James A. Lenhart, John R. Snyder,
Stanley E. Elliott, Dennis L. Lockhart,
Sr., Rene R. Trachsel, Elmer E. Gockley,
Jerry J. Lord, Thomas A. Valik, Jr., Glenn
T. Hehner, Raymond P. Madron, John H.
Voigts, Thomas T. Ingebretsen, Ronald
S. Mallory, Kendle F. Waggle, Jr., Martin
D. Keough, Charles J. Morman, Randall
B. Laminack, Jack E. Potts, Jr.
These exemptions are extended
subject to the following conditions: (1)
That each individual have a physical
examination every year (a) by an
ophthalmologist or optometrist who
attests that the vision in the better eye
continues to meet the standard 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:29 Dec 13, 2005
Jkt 208001
provide 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 retain 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for two years unless rescinded earlier by
the 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rescinded if: (1) The person fails to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. 31315 and
31136(e).
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. 31315 and
31136(e), each of the 22 applicants has
satisfied the entry conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (66 FR 53826; 66 FR
66966; 68 FR 69434; 68 FR 10301; 68 FR
19596; 68 FR 52811; 68 FR 61860). Each
of these 22 applicants has requested
timely renewal of the exemption and
has submitted evidence showing that
the vision in the better eye continues to
meet the standard 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 standards.
These factors provide an adequate basis
for predicting each driver’s ability to
continue to drive safely in interstate
commerce. Therefore, the 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.
Comments
The FMCSA will review comments
received at any time concerning a
particular driver’s safety record and
determine if the continuation of the
exemption is consistent with the
requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31315 and
31136(e). However, the FMCSA requests
that interested parties with specific data
concerning the safety records of these
PO 00000
Frm 00116
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
74103
drivers submit comments by January 13,
2006.
In the past the FMCSA has received
comments from Advocates for Highway
and Auto Safety (Advocates) expressing
continued opposition to the FMCSA’s
procedures for renewing exemptions
from the vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10). Specifically, Advocates
objects to the agency’s extension of the
exemptions without any opportunity for
public comment prior to the decision to
renew, and reliance on a summary
statement of evidence to make its
decision to extend the exemption of
each driver.
The issues raised by Advocates were
addressed at length in 69 FR 51346
(August 18, 2004). The FMCSA
continues to find its exemption process
appropriate to the statutory and
regulatory requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law No. 104–13, section
2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as
revised at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below is a brief summary of currently
approved information collection
activities that FRA will submit for
clearance by OMB as required under the
PRA:
Title: Accident/Incident Reporting
and Recordkeeping.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0500.
Abstract: The collection of
information is due to the railroad
accident reporting regulations set forth
in 49 CFR part 225 which require
railroads to submit monthly reports
summarizing collisions, derailments,
and certain other accidents/incidents
involving damages above a periodically
revised dollar threshold, as well as
certain injuries to passengers,
employees, and other persons on
railroad property. Because the reporting
requirements and the information
needed regarding each category of
accident/incident are unique, a different
form is used for each category.

Grant of petition for exemption.
SUMMARY: This document grants in full
the petition of General Motors
Corporation, (GM) for an exemption in
accordance with § 543.9(c)(2) of 49 CFR
part 543, Exemption from the Theft
Prevention Standard, for the Chevrolet
Malibu/Malibu Maxx vehicle line
beginning with model year (MY) 2006.
This petition is granted because the
agency has determined that the antitheft
device to be placed on the line as
standard equipment is likely to be as
effective in reducing and deterring
motor vehicle theft as compliance with
the parts-marking requirements of the
Theft Prevention Standard.
DATES: The exemption granted by this
notice is effective beginning with model
year (MY) 2006.

Ballard’s phone number is (202) 366–
5222. Her fax number is (202) 493–2290.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a
petition dated July 19, 2005, GM
requested an exemption from the partsmarking requirements of the theft
prevention standard (49 CFR part 541)
for the Chevrolet Malibu/Malibu Maxx
vehicle line beginning with MY 2006.

The petition requested an exemption
from parts-marking pursuant to 49 CFR
543, Exemption from Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard, based on the
installation of an antitheft device as
standard equipment for the entire
vehicle line.
Under § 543.5(a), a manufacturer may
petition NHTSA to grant exemptions for
one line of its vehicle lines per year. In
its petition, GM provided a detailed
description and diagram of the identity,
design, and location of the components
of the antitheft device for the new
vehicle line. The antitheft device is a
transponder-based, electronic,
immobilizer system. GM will install its
antitheft device as standard equipment
on its Chevrolet Malibu /Malibu Maxx
vehicle line beginning with MY 2006.
GM’s submission is considered a
complete petition as required by 49 CFR
543.7, in that it meets the general
requirements contained in § 543.5 and
the specific content requirements of
§ 543.6.
The antitheft device to be installed on
the MY 2006 Chevrolet Malibu/Malibu
Maxx is the PASS–Key III+. The PASS–
Key III+ device is designed to be active
at all times without direct intervention
by the vehicle operator. The system is
fully armed immediately after the
ignition has been turned off and the key
removed. The system will provide

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
Public Law No. 104-13, section 2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as
revised at 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and its implementing regulations, 5
CFR Part 1320, require Federal agencies to provide 60-days notice to
the public for comment on information collection activities before
seeking approval for reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a).
Specifically, FRA invites interested respondents to comment on the
following summary of proposed information collection activities
regarding (i) whether the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute its functions, including whether
the activities will have practical utility; (ii) the accuracy of FRA's
estimates of the burden of the information collection activities,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (iii) ways for FRA to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information being collected; and (iv) ways
for FRA to minimize the burden of information collection activities on
the public by automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(i)-(iv); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1)(i)-(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote its efforts to reduce the
administrative and paperwork burdens associated with the collection of
information mandated by Federal regulations. In summary, FRA reasons
that comments received will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it organizes information collection
requirements in a ``user friendly'' format to improve the use of such
information; and (iii) accurately assess the resources expended to
retrieve and produce information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 3501.
