Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 2, 2010 / Notices
of these individuals was based on the
merits of each case and only after
careful consideration of the comments
received to its notices of applications.
The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience,
and medical condition of each applicant
for an exemption from the vision
requirements. That information is
available by consulting the above cited
Federal Register publications.
Interested parties or organizations
possessing information that would
otherwise show that any, or all of these
drivers, are not currently achieving the
statutory level of safety should
immediately notify FMCSA. The
Agency will evaluate any adverse
evidence submitted and, if safety is
being compromised or if continuation of
the exemption would not be consistent
with the goals and objectives of 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will
take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
SUMMARY: FMCSA previously
announced its decision to renew the
exemptions from the vision requirement
in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations for 13 individuals. FMCSA
has statutory authority to exempt
individuals from the vision requirement
if the exemptions granted will not
compromise safety. The Agency has
concluded that granting these
exemptions will provide a level of safety
that will be equivalent to, or greater
than, the level of safety maintained
without the exemptions for these
commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers.
