exemption from the prohibition against
persons with a clinical diagnosis of
epilepsy or any other condition which
is likely to cause a loss of consciousness
or any loss of ability to operate a
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) from
operating CMVs in interstate commerce.
The regulation and the associated
advisory criteria published in the Code
of Federal Regulations as the
‘‘Instructions for Performing and
Recording Physical Examinations’’ have
resulted in numerous drivers being
prohibited from operating CMVs in
interstate commerce based on the fact
that they have had one or more seizures
and are taking anti-seizure medication,
rather than an individual analysis of
their circumstances by a qualified
medical examiner. If granted, the
exemptions would enable these
individuals who have had one or more
seizures and are taking anti-seizure
medication to operate CMVs for 2 years
in interstate commerce.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 3, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e),
FMCSA may grant an exemption for a 2year period if it finds ‘‘such exemption
would likely achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to or greater than the
level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.’’ The statutes also
allow the Agency to renew exemptions
at the end of the 2-year period. The 11
individuals listed in this notice have
recently requested an exemption from
the epilepsy prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8), which applies to drivers
who operate CMVs as defined in 49 CFR
390.5, in interstate commerce. Section
391.41(b)(8) states that a person is
physically qualified to drive a
commercial motor vehicle if that person
has no established medical history or
clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any
other condition which is likely to cause
the loss of consciousness or any loss of
ability to control a CMV.
FMCSA provides medical advisory
criteria for use by medical examiners in
determining whether drivers with
certain medical conditions should be
certified to operate CMVs in intrastate
commerce. The advisory criteria
indicate that if an individual has had a
sudden episode of a non-epileptic
seizure or loss of consciousness of
unknown cause which did not require
anti-seizure medication, the decision
whether that person’s condition is likely
to cause the loss of consciousness or
loss of ability to control a CMV should
