ACTION: Notice of final disposition;
granting of application for exemption.
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its
decision to grant Volvo Trucks North
America, Inc.’s (Volvo) application for
an exemption for three of its drivers to
enable them to test-drive commercial
motor vehicles (CMVs) in the United
States without a commercial driver’s
license (CDL) issued by one of the
States. Volvo had requested that the
exemption cover three Swedish
engineers and technicians who will test
drive CMVs for Volvo within the U.S.
They stated the exemption is needed to
support a Volvo field test to meet future
air quality standards and to test-drive
Volvo prototype vehicles to verify
results in ‘‘real world’’ environments.
Each of these drivers holds a valid CDL
issued in Sweden but lacks the U.S.

will achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level
of safety achieved without the
exemption.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e),
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the CDL requirements in 49 CFR 383.23
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’’ (49 CFR
381.305(a)). FMCSA has evaluated
Volvo’s application on its merits and
decided to grant the exemption for three
of Volvo’s engineers and technicians for
a 2-year period.

Volvo Application for an Exemption
Volvo applied for an exemption from
the 49 CFR 383.23 requirement that the
operator of a CMV obtain a CDL. This
section of the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) sets forth
the standards that States must employ
in issuing CDLs to drivers operating in
commerce. In the U.S., an individual
must be a resident of a State in order to
qualify for a CDL 1. The Volvo driversemployees for whom this exemption is
sought are all citizens and residents of
Sweden; therefore, they cannot apply
for a CDL in any State of the United
States. A copy of the request for
exemption from section 383.23 is in the
docket identified at the beginning of this
notice.
Swedish Drivers
This exemption enables the following
drivers to test-drive in the U.S. Volvo
CMVs that are assembled, sold or
primarily used in the U.S.: Andreas
Hamsten, Carl-Gustaf Theen and
Therese Johansson.
Collectively, these drivers form a team
of engineers and technicians. Volvo
currently employs these drivers in
Sweden, and wants them to be able to
test-drive Volvo prototype vehicles at its
test site and in the vicinity of Phoenix,
Arizona, to verify vehicle results in
‘‘real world’’ environments. These
drivers would test-drive Volvo CMVs
that are assembled, sold or primarily
used in the U.S. They are highly trained,
1 Although 49 CFR 383.23 indicates that these
drivers could obtain a Nonresident CDL, few States
are currently issuing Nonresident CDLs.
