On August 10, 2016, FMCSA
published a notice of receipt of Federal
diabetes exemption applications from
46 individuals and requested comments
from the public (81 FR 52947). The
public comment period closed on
September 9, 2016, and no comments
were received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of the 46 applicants 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).

requirement for diabetes in 1970
because several risk studies indicated
that drivers with diabetes had a higher
rate of crash involvement than the
general population. The diabetes rule
provides that ‘‘A person is physically
qualified to drive a commercial motor
vehicle if that person has no established
medical history or clinical diagnosis of
diabetes mellitus currently requiring
