Background Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption from the FMCSRs for a two-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 two-year period. The eight individuals listed in this notice have requested an exemption from the epilepsy prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8). 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. The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding epilepsy found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) states that a person is physically qualified to drive a CMV 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.

codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123, Congress transferred the responsibility 
for collecting the Financial and Operating Statistics (F&OS) data to 
the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary). The ICCTA requires the

authority under 49 U.S.C. 14123 to require only Class I motor carriers 
of passengers to file annual reports to ensure that they are in 
compliance with the F&OS program requirements (See 78 FR 76241 (12/17/
