II. Background
On May 29, 2018, FMCSA published
a notice announcing its decision to
renew exemptions for 133 individuals
from the insulin-treated diabetes
mellitus prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (83 FR
24581). The public comment period
PO 00000
Frm 00140
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
34675
ended on June 28, 2018, and no
comments were received.
As stated in the previous notice,
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of
these applicants and determined that
renewing these exemptions 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).
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.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this
preceding.
IV. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 133
renewal exemption applications and
comments received, FMCSA confirms
its decision to exempt the following
drivers from the rule prohibiting drivers
with ITDM from driving CMVs in
interstate commerce in 49 CFR
391.64(3):
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)

II. Background
On May 29, 2018, FMCSA published
a notice announcing receipt of
applications from 12 individuals
requesting an exemption from vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10)
and requested comments from the
public (83 FR 24585). The public
comment period ended on June 28,
2018, and one comment was received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these 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)(10).
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding vision found in 49
CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is
physically qualified to drive a CMV if
that person has distant visual acuity of
at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye
without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40
(Snellen) or better with corrective
lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least
20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or
without corrective lenses, field of vision
of at least 70° in the horizontal meridian
in each eye, and the ability to recognize
the colors of traffic signals and devices
showing red, green, and amber.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received one comment in this
proceeding. Vicky Johnson stated that
Minnesota Public Safety has no
objections to granting a vision
exemption to Thomas R. Krentz.
IV. Basis for Exemption Determination
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the vision standard in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10) if the exemption is likely
to achieve an equivalent or greater level
of safety than would be achieved
without the exemption. The exemption
PO 00000
Frm 00142
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
34677
allows applicants to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce.
The Agency’s decision regarding these
exemption applications is based on
medical reports about the applicants’
vision as well as their driving records
and experience driving with the vision
deficiency. The qualifications,
experience, and medical condition of
each applicant were stated and
discussed in detail in the May 29, 2018,
Federal Register notice (83 FR 24585)
and will not be repeated in this notice.
FMCSA recognizes that some drivers
do not meet the vision requirement but
have adapted their driving to
accommodate their limitation and
demonstrated their ability to drive
safely. The 12 exemption applicants
listed in this notice are in this category.
They are unable to meet the vision
requirement in one eye for various
reasons, including amblyopia, central
retinal vein occlusion, iris coloboma,
optic atrophy, and prosthesis. In most
cases, their eye conditions were not
recently developed. Eight of the
applicants were either born with their
vision impairments or have had them
since childhood. The four individuals
that sustained their vision conditions as
adults have had it for a range of 5 to 16
years. Although each applicant has one
eye which does not meet the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10),
each has at least 20/40 corrected vision
in the other eye, and in a doctor’s
opinion, has sufficient vision to perform
all the tasks necessary to operate a CMV.
Doctors’ opinions are supported by
the applicants’ possession of a valid
license to operate a CMV. By meeting
State licensing requirements, the
applicants demonstrated their ability to
operate a CMV, with their limited vision
in intrastate commerce, even though
their vision disqualified them from
driving in interstate commerce. We
believe that the applicants’ intrastate
driving experience and history provide
an adequate basis for predicting their
ability to drive safely in interstate
commerce. Intrastate driving, like
interstate operations, involves
substantial driving on highways on the
interstate system and on other roads
built to interstate standards. Moreover,
driving in congested urban areas
exposes the driver to more pedestrian
and vehicular traffic than exists on
interstate highways. Faster reaction to
traffic and traffic signals is generally
required because distances between
them are more compact. These
conditions tax visual capacity and
driver response just as intensely as
interstate driving conditions.
The applicants in this notice have
driven CMVs with their limited vision
