I. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the FMCSRs for a five-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 five-year period. FMCSA grants
exemptions from the FMCSRs for a twoyear period to align with the maximum
duration of a driver’s medical
certification.
The 53 individuals listed in this
notice have requested an exemption
from the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3). 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 diabetes found in
49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) states that a person
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. 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
involvement than the general
population.
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.
FMCSA notes that section 4129 of the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible and
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users requires the Secretary
to revise its diabetes exemption program
established on September 3, 2003 (68 FR
52441). The revision must provide for
individual assessment of drivers with
diabetes mellitus, and be consistent
with the criteria described in section
4018 of the Transportation Equity Act
for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
Section 4129 requires: (1) Elimination of
the requirement for three years of
experience operating CMVs while being
treated with insulin; and (2)
establishment of a specified minimum
period of insulin use to demonstrate
stable control of diabetes before being
allowed to operate a CMV.
In response to section 4129, FMCSA
made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established
by the September 3, 2003 notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the threeyear driving experience and fulfilled the
requirements of section 4129 while
continuing to ensure that operation of
CMVs by drivers with ITDM will
achieve the requisite level of safety
required of all exemptions granted
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e). Section
4129(d) also directed FMCSA to ensure
that drivers of CMVs with ITDM are not
held to a higher standard than other
drivers, with the exception of limited
operating, monitoring and medical
requirements that are deemed medically
necessary. The FMCSA concluded that
all of the operating, monitoring and
medical requirements set out in the
September 3, 2003, notice, except as
modified, were in compliance with
section 4129(d). Therefore, all of the
requirements set out in the September 3,
2003, notice, except as modified by the
notice in the Federal Register on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the FMCSRs for a five-year period if it
finds ‘‘such exemption would likely
achieve a level of safety that is
PO 00000
Frm 00107
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
24563
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 five-year period. FMCSA grants
exemptions from the FMCSRs for a twoyear period to align with the maximum
duration of a driver’s medical
certification.
The 36 individuals listed in this
notice have requested an exemption
from the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3). 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 diabetes found in
49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) states that a person
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. 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.
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.
FMCSA notes that section 4129 of the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible and
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users requires the Secretary
to revise its diabetes exemption program
established on September 3, 2003 (68 FR
52441). The revision must provide for
individual assessment of drivers with
diabetes mellitus, and be consistent
with the criteria described in section
4018 of the Transportation Equity Act
for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
Section 4129 requires: (1) Elimination of
the requirement for three years of
experience operating CMVs while being
treated with insulin; and (2)
establishment of a specified minimum
period of insulin use to demonstrate

Section 4129 requires: (1) Elimination of the requirement for three
years of experience operating CMVs while being treated with insulin;
and (2) establishment of a specified minimum period of insulin use to
demonstrate stable control of diabetes before being allowed to operate
a CMV.
In response to section 4129, FMCSA made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established by the September 3, 2003 notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the three-year driving experience and
fulfilled the requirements of section 4129 while continuing to ensure
that operation of CMVs by drivers with ITDM will achieve the requisite
level of safety required of all exemptions granted under 49 U.S.C.
31136(e). Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA to ensure that drivers of
CMVs with ITDM are not held to a higher standard than other drivers,
with the exception of limited operating, monitoring and medical
requirements that are deemed medically necessary. The FMCSA concluded
that all of the operating, monitoring and medical requirements set out
in the September 3, 2003, notice, except as modified, were in
compliance with section 4129(d). Therefore, all of the requirements set
out in the September 3, 2003, notice, except as modified by the notice
in the Federal Register on November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777), remain in
effect.
