V. Discussion of Comments
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
FMCSA received one comment in this
proceeding. An anonymous commenter
stated that they disagree with granting
the exemptions, citing safety concerns.
FMCSA has evaluated the medical
records and driving histories of all 14
drivers included in this document and
has determined that granting the
exemptions will create an equal or
greater level of safety as restricting them
to driving in intrastate commerce.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration
IV. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 14
exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the
vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10):
Tyler D. Baseman (MN)
Robert A. Ferrucci (FL)
Gary W. Fields (VA)
Michael D. Greene, Jr. (VT)
Cory W. Haupt (SD)
Joseph E. Jones (GA)
Peter W. Lampasone (NY)
Edward H. Lampe (OR)
Thomas L. Lange (CO)
Ronald R. Matheson (WY)
Jason C. Nicklow, Sr. (PA)
Lawrence M. Taylor (RI)
Eric M. Turton (NY)
Kendrick T. Williams (NC)
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, each exemption will be valid
for 2 years unless revoked earlier by
FMCSA. The exemption will be revoked
if: (1) The person fails to comply with
the terms and conditions of the
exemption; (2) the exemption has
resulted in a lower level of safety than
was maintained before it was granted; or
(3) continuation of the exemption would
not be consistent with the goals and
objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.
If the exemption is still effective at the
end of the 2-year period, the person may
apply to FMCSA for a renewal under
procedures in effect at that time.

diabetes mellitus currently requiring
insulin for control.

II. Background
On March 7, 2017, FMCSA published
a notice of receipt of Federal diabetes
exemption applications from 28
individuals and requested comments
from the public (82 FR 12881). The
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18953
public comment period closed on April
6, 2017, and no comments were
received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of the 28 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).
Diabetes Mellitus and Driving
Experience of the Applicants
The Agency established the current
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
insulin for control’’ (49 CFR
391.41(b)(3)).
FMCSA established its diabetes
exemption program, based on the
Agency’s July 2000 study entitled ‘‘A
Report to Congress on the Feasibility of
a Program to Qualify Individuals with
Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus to
Operate in Interstate Commerce as
Directed by the Transportation Act for
the 21st Century.’’ The report concluded
that a safe and practicable protocol to
allow some drivers with ITDM to
operate CMVs is feasible. The
September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441),
Federal Register notice in conjunction
with the November 8, 2005 (70 FR
67777), Federal Register notice provides
the current protocol for allowing such
drivers to operate CMVs in interstate
commerce.
These 28 applicants have had ITDM
over a range of 1 to 22 years. These
applicants report no severe
hypoglycemic reactions resulting in loss
of consciousness or seizure, requiring
the assistance of another person, or
resulting in impaired cognitive function
that occurred without warning
symptoms, in the past 12 months and no
recurrent (2 or more) severe
hypoglycemic episodes in the past 5
years. In each case, an endocrinologist
verified that the driver has
demonstrated a willingness to properly
monitor and manage his/her diabetes
mellitus, received education related to
diabetes management, and is on a stable
insulin regimen. These drivers report no
other disqualifying conditions,
including diabetes-related
complications. Each meets the vision
requirement at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
