Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,

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
comment period ended on April 20,
2009.

commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers.
Conclusion
The Agency has not received any
adverse evidence on any of these drivers
that indicates that safety is being
compromised. Based upon its
evaluation of the 23 renewal
applications, FMCSA renews the
Federal vision exemptions for Lucas R.
Aleman, Rodger B. Anders, John D.
Bolding, Jr., Timothy E. Coultas,
Michael P. Curtin, Jimmy W.

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, each renewal exemption will
be valid for 2 years unless revoked
earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will
be revoked 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. 31136 and 31315.
