FMCSA proposes to establish the system of records called ``Medical Exemption Program'' in compliance with the terms of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). FMCSA has established the Medical Exemption Program to support the paper-based Federal Vision Exemption Program (FVEP), the paper-based Federal Diabetes Exemption Program (FDEP), and the web-based Med-Ex application managed by the FMCSA Office of Medical Programs. Medical Exemption Program is maintained by MANILA Consulting Group, Inc. (MANILA), an FMCSA contractor. The mission of the FMCSA Office of Medical Programs is to improve the safety of U.S. roadways by disseminating and implementing the medical regulations, guidelines, and policies that ensure commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers engaged in interstate commerce are physically qualified to do so. Only authorized DOT personnel with a specific ``need to know'' can access CMV driver exemption information in Medical Exemption Program. A request from any other individual or entity (e.g., a law firm) for CMV driver exemption information in Medical Exemption Program is treated as a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by FMCSA and processed accordingly. FMCSA performs routine audits of the Medical Exemption Program to ensure that privacy and security objectives are met. More detailed information concerning the Medical Exemption Program system of records is located within this document. A System of Records Notice (SORN) for the Medical Exemption Program will be published in the Federal Register and posted on the DOT Web site. The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the Medical Exemption Program will be located on the DOT Web site (https://www.dot.gov/pia.html).
