The FHWA, in cooperation with the NCDOT, issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) on the project in January 1998.

In 2006, the project was adopted by the North Carolina Turnpike Authority (NCTA) for consideration as a candidate toll project, and the environmental studies for the project are now being completed by NCTA, in coordination with FHWA and NCDOT. In light of these changes the FHWA is now rescinding the notice of intent and 1998 DEIS. The FHWA, NCDOT, and NCTA plan to prepare a new Draft EIS for the proposed project.

This statement is also available at https://Docketinfo.dot.gov. Background On March 31, 2008, FMCSA published a notice of receipt of Federal diabetes exemption applications from twenty-nine individuals, and requested comments from the public (73 FR 16946). The public comment period closed on April 30, 2008 and one comment was received. FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of the twenty-nine applicants and determined that granting the exemptions to these individuals 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). Diabetes Mellitus and Driving Experience of the Applicants The Agency established the current standard for diabetes in 1970 because several risk studies indicated that diabetic drivers had a higher rate of crash involvement than the general population. The diabetes rule provides that ‘‘A person is physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle if that person has no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring insulin for control’’ (49 CFR 391.41(b)(3)). FMCSA established its diabetes exemption program, based on the Agency’s July 2000 study entitled ‘‘A Report to Congress on the Feasibility of a Program to Qualify Individuals with Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus to Operate in Interstate Commerce as Directed by the Transportation Act for the 21st Century.’’ The report concluded that a safe and practicable protocol to allow some drivers with ITDM to operate CMVs is feasible. The 2003 Notice (68 FR 52442) in conjunction with the November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777) Federal Register Notice provides the current protocol for allowing such drivers to operate CMVs in interstate commerce. These twenty-nine applicants have had ITDM over a range of 1 to 35 years. These applicants report no hypoglycemic reaction that resulted in loss of consciousness or seizure, that required the assistance of another person, or resulted in impaired cognitive function without warning symptoms in the past 5 years (with one year of stability following any such episode). In each case, an endocrinologist has verified that the driver has demonstrated willingness to properly monitor and manage their diabetes, received education related to E:\FR\FM\03JNN1.SGM 03JNN1
