II. Background

a notice announcing its decision to
renew exemptions for 71 individuals
from the insulin-treated diabetes
mellitus prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3) to operate a CMV in

comments from the public (82 FR
13180). The public comment period
ended on April 10, 2017, and no

The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding diabetes found in

is physically qualified to drive a CMV
if that person has no established
medical history or clinical diagnosis of
diabetes mellitus currently requiring
insulin for control.
