November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777),
remain in effect.
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
requirements of the vision standard at
49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). His optometrist
examined him in 2009, and certified
that he does not have diabetic
retinopathy. He holds a Class A CDL
from South Dakota.
Request for Comments
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on
the exemption petitions described in
this notice. We will consider all
comments received before the close of
business on the closing date indicated
in the date section of the Notice.
FMCSA notes that Section 4129 of the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible and
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU)
requires the Secretary to revise its
diabetes exemption program established
on September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441).1
The revision must provide for
individual assessment of drivers with
diabetes mellitus, and be consistent
with the criteria described in section
4018 of the Transportation Equity Act
for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
Section 4129 requires: (1) The
elimination of the requirement for three
years of experience operating CMVs
while being treated with insulin; and (2)
the establishment of a specified
minimum period of insulin use to
demonstrate stable control of diabetes
before being allowed to operate a CMV.
In response to section 4129, FMCSA
made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established
by the September 3, 2003 Notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year
driving experience and fulfilled the
requirements of section 4129 while
continuing to ensure that operation of
CMVs by drivers with ITDM will
achieve the requisite level of safety
required of all exemptions granted
under 49 USC. 31136 (e).
Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA
to ensure that drivers of CMVs with
ITDM are not held to a higher standard
than other drivers, with the exception of
limited operating, monitoring and
medical requirements that are deemed
medically necessary. FMCSA concluded
that all of the operating, monitoring and
medical requirements set out in the
September 3, 2003 Notice, except as
modified, were in compliance with
section 4129(d). Therefore, all of the
requirements set out in the September 3,
2003 Notice, except as modified by the
Notice in the Federal Register on
1 Section 4129(a) refers to the 2003 Notice as a
‘‘final rule.’’ However, the 2003 Notice did not issue
a ‘‘final rule’’ but did establish the procedures and
standards for issuing exemptions for drivers with
ITDM.

may be made to the National Archives
and Records Administration (NARA)
and the General Services
Administration (GSA) in records
management inspections conducted

of the United States Code.
Routine use 14 was added to disclose
information to the Department of Justice
(DoJ), either on VA’s initiative or in
response to DoJ’s request for the
information, after either VA or DoJ
determines that such information is
relevant to DoJ’s representation of the
United States or any of its components
in legal proceedings before a court or
adjudicative body, provided that, in
each case, the agency also determines
prior to disclosure that release of the
records to the DoJ is a use of the
information contained in the records
that is compatible with the purpose for
which VA collected the records. VA, on
its own initiative, may disclose records
in this system of records in legal
proceedings before a court or
administrative body after determining
that the disclosure of the records to the
court or administrative body is a use of
the information contained in the records
that is compatible with the purpose for
which VA collected the records.
Routine use 15 was added to disclose
information to other Federal agencies
that may be made to assist such agencies
in preventing and detecting possible
fraud or abuse by individuals in their
operations and programs.
Routine use 16 was added so that the
VA may, on its own initiative, disclose
any information or records to
appropriate agencies, entities, and
persons when (1) VA suspects or has
confirmed that the integrity or
confidentiality of information in the
system of records has been

compromised; (2) the Department has
determined that as a result of the
suspected or confirmed compromise,
there is a risk of embarrassment or harm
to the reputations of the record subjects,
harm to economic or property interests,
identity theft or fraud, or harm to the
security, confidentiality, or integrity of
this system or other systems or
programs (whether maintained by the
Department or another agency or entity)
that rely upon the potentially
compromised information; and (3) the
disclosure is to agencies, entities, or
persons whom VA determines are
reasonably necessary to assist or carry
out the Department’s efforts to respond
to the suspected or confirmed
compromise and prevent, minimize, or
remedy such harm. This routine use
permits disclosures by the Department
to respond to a suspected or confirmed
data breach, including the conduct of
any risk analysis or provision of credit
protection services as provided in 38
U.S.C. 5724, as the terms are defined in
38 U.S.C. 5727.
The Report of Intent to Amend a
System of Records Notice and an
advance copy of the system notice have
been sent to the appropriate
Congressional committees and to the
Director of the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) as required by 5
