Qualification of Drivers; Exemption
Applications; Vision
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of denials.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its denial
of 120 applications from individuals
who requested an exemption from the
Federal vision standard applicable to
interstate truck and bus drivers and the
reasons for the denials. 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 does not 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.

SUMMARY:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the Federal vision standard for a

renewable 2-year period if it finds ‘‘such
an exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to or
greater than the level that would be
achieved absent such an exemption.’’
The procedures for requesting an
exemption are set forth in 49 CFR part
381.
Accordingly, FMCSA evaluated 120
individual exemption requests on their
merit and made a determination that
these applicants do not satisfy the
criteria eligibility or meet the terms and
conditions of the Federal exemption
program. Each applicant has, prior to
this notice, received a letter of final
disposition on the exemption request.
Those decision letters fully outlined the
basis for the denial and constitute final
Agency action. The list published in
this notice summarizes the Agency’s
recent denials as required under 49
U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically

Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2009–0078]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with Part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:52 Jul 14, 2015
Jkt 235001
this provides the public notice that by
a document dated April 14, 2015, the
American Short Line and Regional
Railroad Association (ASLRRA)—on
behalf of Baltimore Industrial Railroad,
Cloquet Terminal Railroad Company,
Incorporated, and East Erie Commercial
Railroad—petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) for an
amended waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal hours
of service laws contained at 49 U.S.C.
21103(a)(4), which, in part, require a
train employee to receive 48 hours off
duty after initiating an on-duty period
for 6 consecutive days. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2009–
0078.
In its petition, ASLRRA seeks to
amend its existing waiver to add the
three railroads referenced above, which
did not participate in ASLRRA’s prior
waiver petition. FRA granted ASLRRA’s
petition for a waiver extension in a
letter dated February 27, 2012. The
waiver allows a train employee to
initiate an on-duty period each day for
6 consecutive days followed by 24
hours, rather than 48 hours, off duty.
Each railroad that seeks to be added
to the waiver executed a compliance
letter, attesting that it complies with all
of the employee consent requirements
that FRA set forth in its initial decision
letter, dated March 5, 2010.
Additionally, each railroad will
maintain the underlying employee
consent or employee representative
consent documents in its files for FRA
inspection.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New
Jersey Ave. SE., W12–140, Washington,
DC 20590. The Docket Operations
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
Holidays.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be
