The purpose of this meeting is to
consider one or more new ARAC tasks.
Improvement of regulations is a
continuous focus for the Department.
Accordingly, the Department regularly
makes a conscientious effort to review
its rules in accordance with the
Department’s 1979 Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February
26, 1979), Executive Order 12866,
Executive Order 13563, and section 610
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Through two new Executive Orders,
President Trump directed agencies to
further scrutinize its regulations. On
January 30, 2017, President Trump
signed Executive Order 13771 titled
‘‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs (EO).’’ Under Section
2a of that Executive Order, unless
prohibited by law, whenever an
executive department or agency
publicly proposes for notice and
comment or otherwise promulgates a
new regulation, it shall identify at least
two existing regulations to be repealed.
In addition, on February 24, 2017,
President Trump signed Executive
Order 13777 titled ‘‘Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda.’’ Under this
Executive Order, each agency is
required to establish a Regulatory
Reform Task Force (RRTF) to evaluate
existing regulations, and make
recommendations for their repeal,
replacement, or modification. As part of
this process, the Department is directed
to seek input/assistance from entities
significantly affected by its regulations.
Accordingly, the agenda for this ARAC
meeting will be to task ARAC to
consider (1) recommendations on
existing regulations that are good
candidates for repeal, replacement, or
modification and (2) recommendations
on regulatory action identified in FAA’s
Regulatory Agenda.
The ARAC will also consider the new
task Flight Test Harmonization Working
Group- Transport Airplane Performance
and Handling Characteristics, Phase 3
that was on the agenda for the March 16,
2017, ARAC meeting. At that meeting,
all discussions on new tasks were
postponed to later ARAC meetings.
Attendance is open to the interested
public but limited to the space
available. Please confirm your
attendance, either in person or by
telephone, with the person listed in the

ACTION: Notice of denials of exemption

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety

On October 20, 2016, FMCSA
published for public notice and
comment FMCSA 2016–0353, listing
three individuals seeking exemptions
for ICDs. Accordingly, the Agency has
evaluated each applicant’s request to
determine whether granting an
exemption will achieve the required
level of safety mandated by statute.
Evaluation Criteria—Cardiovascular
Medical Standard and Advisory
Criteria
The individuals included in this
notice have requested an exemption
from the provisions of 49 CFR
391.41(b)(4), which applies to drivers
who operate commercial motor vehicles
(CMV) in interstate commerce, as
defined in 49 CFR 390.5. Section
391.41(b)(4) states that:
A person is physically qualified to drive a
commercial motor vehicle if—
*
*
*
*
*
that person has no current clinical diagnosis
of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris,
coronary insufficiency, thrombosis, or any
other cardiovascular disease of a variety
known to be accompanied by syncope [a
temporary loss of consciousness due to a
sudden decline in blood flow to the brain],
dyspnea [shortness of breath], collapse, or
congestive cardiac failure.
The FMCSA provides medical
advisory criteria as recommendations
for use by medical examiners in
determining whether drivers with
certain medical conditions and drivers
who have undergone certain procedures
and/or treatments should be certified to
operate CMVs in interstate commerce in
accordance with the various physical
qualification standards in 49 CFR part
391, subpart E. The advisory criteria are
currently set out in Appendix A to 49
CFR part 391. The advisory criteria for
section 391.41(b)(4) provide, in part,
that:
The term ‘‘has no current clinical diagnosis
of’’ is specifically designed to encompass: ‘‘a
clinical diagnosis of’’ (1) a current
cardiovascular condition, or (2) a
cardiovascular condition which has not fully
stabilized regardless of the time limit. The
term ‘‘known to be accompanied by’’ is
designed to include a clinical diagnosis of a
cardiovascular disease (1) which is
accompanied by symptoms of syncope,
dyspnea, collapse or congestive cardiac
failure; and/or (2) which is likely to cause
syncope, dyspnea, collapse, or congestive
cardiac failure.
It is the intent of the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations to render unqualified, a
driver who has a current cardiovascular
