Background
FMCSA has published notices of
receipt of Federal diabetes exemption
applications and its intent to grant the
exemptions. The Agency also requested
comments from the public. The
comment period closed 30 days after the
publication date and the exemptions
were issued the day after the comment
period closed.
FMCSA evaluated the eligibility of the
drivers and determined that granting the
exemptions to these individuals would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to or
greater than the level that would be
achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3).
The determining criteria for and the
conditions and requirements of the
exemptions, to which all exempted
drivers are subject, were discussed in
detail when the docket was originally
published (79 FR 35844). As always,
any adverse comments that come in
after the exemption is granted will be
evaluated, and if they indicate that the
driver is not achieving a level of safety
equivalent to or greater than the level of
safety that would be obtained by
complying with the regulation, the
exemption will be revoked. When

Two drivers published in the Docket
