SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations for a 2-year 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
statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 2-year
period. The 54 individuals listed in this
notice have recently requested such an
exemption from the diabetes prohibition
in 49 CFR 391.41(b) (3), which applies
to drivers of CMVs in interstate
commerce. Accordingly, the Agency
will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting
the exemption will achieve the required
level of safety mandated by statute.

Section 4129 requires: (1) Elimination
of the requirement for 3 years of
experience operating CMVs while being
treated with insulin; and (2)
establishment of a specified minimum
period of insulin use to demonstrate
stable control of diabetes before being
allowed to operate a CMV.
In response to section 4129, FMCSA
made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established
by the September 3, 2003 notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year
driving experience and fulfilled the
requirements of section 4129 while
1 Section 4129(a) refers to the 2003 notice as a
‘‘final rule.’’ However, the 2003 notice did not issue
a ‘‘final rule’’ but did establish the procedures and
standards for issuing exemptions for drivers with
ITDM.

continuing to ensure that operation of
CMVs by drivers with ITDM will
achieve the requisite level of safety
required of all exemptions granted
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e).
Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA
to ensure that drivers of CMVs with
ITDM are not held to a higher standard
than other drivers, with the exception of
limited operating, monitoring and
medical requirements that are deemed
medically necessary.
The FMCSA concluded that all of the
operating, monitoring and medical
requirements set out in the September 3,
2003 notice, except as modified, were in
compliance with section 4129(d).
Therefore, all of the requirements set
out in the September 3, 2003 notice,
except as modified by the notice in the
Federal Register on November 8, 2005
(70 FR 67777), remain in effect.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Surface Transportation Board
[Docket No. AB 1235X]
MCM Rail Services LLC, d/b/a
Baltimore Industrial Railroad—Petition
for Discontinuance of Service
Exemption—in Baltimore County, Md.
On July 28, 2015, MCM Rail Services
LLC, d/b/a Baltimore Industrial Railroad
(MCM Rail) filed with the Surface
Transportation Board (Board) a petition
under 49 U.S.C. 10502 for exemption
from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10903
to discontinue rail service over an
approximately 12-mile line of railroad
in Sparrows Point, Baltimore County,
Md. (the Line). MCM Rail states that
there are no mileposts on the Line. The
Line is the entire system operated by
MCM Rail. The Line traverses through
United States Postal Service Zip Code
21219, and there are no stations on the
Line.
MCM Rail states that the Line is stubended and therefore not capable of
handling overhead traffic. Upon
discontinuance of service by MCM Rail,
rail service over the Line will be
provided by the owner of the Line,
Sparrows Point Rail, LLC (formerly
known as Hilco SP Rail LLC). To MCM
Rail’s knowledge, the Line does not
contain federally granted rights-of-way.
Because this is the discontinuance of
the entire system operated by MCM
Rail, no labor conditions will be
imposed. Additionally, because this is a
discontinuance proceeding and not an
abandonment proceeding, trail use/rail
banking and public use conditions are
not appropriate.
By issuance of this notice, the Board
is instituting an exemption proceeding
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final
decision will be issued by November 13,
2015.
Any offer of financial assistance
(OFA) under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) to
subsidize continued rail service will be
due no later than November 23, 2015, or
10 days after the service of a decision
granting the petition for exemption,
whichever occurs sooner. Each offer
must be accompanied by a $1,600 filing
fee. See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a 2-year 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 statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The 54 individuals listed
in this notice have recently requested such an exemption from the
diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b) (3), which applies to drivers
of CMVs in interstate commerce. Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate
the qualifications of each applicant to determine whether granting the
exemption will achieve the required level of safety mandated by
statute.

III. Request for Comments
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA requests
public comment from all interested persons on the exemption petitions
described in this notice. We will consider all comments received before
the close of business on the closing date indicated in the date section
of the notice.
FMCSA notes that section 4129 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible
and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users requires
the Secretary to revise its diabetes exemption program established on
September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441).\1\ The revision must provide for
individual assessment of drivers with diabetes mellitus, and be
consistent with the criteria described in section 4018 of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Section 4129(a) refers to the 2003 notice as a ``final
rule.'' However, the 2003 notice did not issue a ``final rule'' but
did establish the procedures and standards for issuing exemptions
for drivers with ITDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4129 requires: (1) Elimination of the requirement for 3
years of experience operating CMVs while being treated with insulin;
and (2) establishment of a specified minimum period of insulin use to
demonstrate stable control of diabetes before being allowed to operate
a CMV.
In response to section 4129, FMCSA made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established by the September 3, 2003 notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year driving experience and fulfilled
the requirements of section 4129 while continuing to ensure that
operation of CMVs by drivers with ITDM will achieve the requisite level
of safety required of all exemptions granted under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e).
Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA to ensure that drivers of CMVs
with ITDM are not held to a higher standard than other drivers, with
the exception of limited operating, monitoring and medical requirements
that are deemed medically necessary.
The FMCSA concluded that all of the operating, monitoring and
medical requirements set out in the September 3, 2003 notice, except as
modified, were in compliance with section 4129(d). Therefore, all of
the requirements set out in the September 3, 2003 notice, except as
modified by the notice in the Federal Register on November 8, 2005 (70
FR 67777), remain in effect.
