The Agency believes that the potential safety gains from the use of video event recorders to improve driver behavior will improve the overall level of safety to the motoring public. The Agency hereby grants the exemption for a two-year period, beginning March 19, 2009 and ending March 21, 2011. During the exemption period, Greyhound must ensure that all video event recorders are mounted not more than 50 mm (2 inches) below the upper edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers, and outside the driver’s sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals. Interested parties possessing information that would demonstrate that Greyhound is not achieving the requisite statutory level of safety should immediately notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any such information and, if safety is being compromised or if the continuation of the exemption is not consistent with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b) and 31136(e), will take immediate steps to revoke Greyhound’s exemption, if warranted. Preemption During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with or is inconsistent with this exemption with respect to a person operating under the exemption.
