adequate basis for predicting each
driver’s ability to continue to drive
safely in interstate commerce.
Therefore, FMCSA concludes that
extending the exemption for each
renewal applicant for a period of two
years is likely to achieve a level of safety
equal to that existing without the
exemption.

Request for Comments
FMCSA will review comments
received at any time concerning a
particular driver’s safety record and
determine if the continuation of the
exemption is consistent with the
requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315. However, FMCSA requests that
interested parties with specific data
concerning the safety records of these
drivers submit comments by February
24, 2014.
FMCSA believes that the
requirements for a renewal of an
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then
requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by
interested parties. As indicated above,
the Agency previously published
notices of final disposition announcing
its decision to exempt these 7
individuals from the vision requirement
in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final
decision to grant an exemption to each
of these individuals was made on the
merits of each case and made 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.

material online or by fax, mail, or hand

Background
The Kingpin Act became law on
December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act
establishes a program targeting the
activities of significant foreign narcotics
traffickers and their organizations on a
worldwide basis. It provides a statutory
framework for the imposition of
sanctions against significant foreign
narcotics traffickers and their
organizations on a worldwide basis,
with the objective of denying their
businesses and agents access to the U.S.
financial system and the benefits of
trade and transactions involving U.S.
companies and individuals.
The Kingpin Act blocks all property
and interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, owned or controlled by
significant foreign narcotics traffickers
as identified by the President. In
addition, the Secretary of the Treasury,
in consultation with the Attorney
General, the Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency, the Director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, the
Administrator of the Drug Enforcement
Administration, the Secretary of
Defense, the Secretary of State, and the
Secretary of Homeland Security may
designate and block the property and
interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, of persons who are found
to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or
providing financial or technological
support for or to, or providing goods or
services in support of, the international
narcotics trafficking activities of a
person designated pursuant to the
Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or
directed by, or acting for or on behalf of,
a person designated pursuant to the
Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant
role in international narcotics
trafficking.
