without a hearing aid when the
audiometric device is calibrated to
American National Standard (formerly
ASA Standard) Z24.5—1951.
49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) was adopted in
1970, with a revision in 1971 to allow
drivers to be qualified under this
standard while wearing a hearing aid,
35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and
36 FR 12857 (July 3, 1971).
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received one comment in this
proceeding. Vicky Johnson, of the
Minnesota Department of Safety wrote
that the Minnesota Department of Safety
has no objections to Gary T. Nagel
obtaining a hearing exemption.

Basis for Exemption Determination
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), FMCSA may grant an
exemption from the hearing standard in
49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) if the exemption is
likely to achieve an equivalent or greater
level of safety than would be achieved
without the exemption. The exemption
allows the applicants to operate CMVs
in interstate commerce.
The Agency’s decision regarding these
exemption applications is based on
current medical information and
literature, and the 2008 Evidence
Report, ‘‘Executive Summary on
Hearing, Vestibular Function and
Commercial Motor Driving Safety.’’ The
evidence report reached two
conclusions regarding the matter of
hearing loss and CMV driver safety: (1)
No studies that examined the
relationship between hearing loss and
crash risk exclusively among CMV
drivers were identified; and (2) evidence
from studies of the private driver’s
license holder population does not
support the contention that individuals
with hearing impairment are at an
increased risk for a crash. In addition,
the Agency reviewed each applicant’s
driving record found in the Commercial
Driver’s License Information System
(CDLIS), for commercial driver’s license
(CDL) holders, and inspections recorded
in the Motor Carrier Management
Information System (MCMIS). For nonCDL holders, the Agency reviewed the
driving records from the State Driver’s
Licensing Agency (SDLA). Each
applicant’s record demonstrated a safe
driving history. Based on an individual
assessment of each applicant that
focused on whether an equal or greater
level of safety is likely to be achieved by
permitting each of these drivers to drive
in interstate commerce as opposed to
restricting him or her to driving in
intrastate commerce, the Agency
believes the drivers granted this
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:28 Aug 14, 2018
Jkt 244001
exemption have demonstrated that they
do not pose a risk to public safety.
Consequently, FMCSA finds that in
each case exempting these applicants
from the hearing standard in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(11) is likely to achieve a level
of safety equal to that existing without
the exemption.
IV. Conditions and Requirements
The terms and conditions of the
exemption are provided to the
applicants in the exemption document
and includes the following: (1) Each
driver must report any crashes or
accidents as defined in 49 CFR 390.5;
(2) each driver must report all citations
and convictions for disqualifying
offenses under 49 CFR part 383 and 49
CFR 391 to FMCSA; and (3) each driver
is prohibited from operating a
motorcoach or bus with passengers in
interstate commerce. The driver must
also have a copy of the exemption when
driving, for presentation to a duly
authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official. In addition, the
exemption does not exempt the
individual from meeting the applicable
CDL testing requirements.
V. Preemption
VI. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 30
exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the
hearing standard, 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11),
subject to the requirements cited above:

II. Background
FMCSA received applications from
110 individuals who requested an
exemption from the vision standard in
the FMCSRs.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these applicants and concluded that
granting these exemptions would not
provide a level of safety that would be
equivalent to or greater than, the level
of safety that would be obtained by
complying with the regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10).
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
III. Basis for Exemption Determination
Under 49 U.S.C.31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption if it
finds such an exemption would likely
achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater then, the level
that would be achieved absent such an
exemption.
The Agency’s decision regarding these
exemption applications is based on the
eligibility criteria, the terms and
conditions for Federal exemptions, and
an individualized assessment of each
applicant’s medical information
provided by the applicant.
IV. Conclusion
The Agency has determined that these
applicants do not satisfy the criteria
eligibility or meet the terms and
conditions of the Federal exemption and
granting these exemptions would not
provide a level of safety that would be
equivalent to or greater than, the level
of safety that would be obtained by
complying with the regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10). Therefore, the 110
applicants in this notice have been
denied exemptions from the physical
qualification standards in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10).
Each applicant has, prior to this
notice, received a letter of final
disposition regarding his/her exemption
request. Those decision letters fully
outlined the basis for the denial and
constitute final action by the Agency.

II. Background
On June 18, 2018, FMCSA published
a notice announcing its decision to
renew exemptions for 86 individuals
from the vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (83 FR
28307). The public comment period
ended on July 18, 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)(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
PO 00000
Frm 00136

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 no comments in this
preceding.
IV. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 86
renewal exemption applications and
comments received, FMCSA confirms
its’ decision to exempt the following
drivers from the vision requirement in
49 CFR 391.41 (b)(10):
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, the following groups of
drivers received renewed exemptions in

discussed below:
As of September 6, 2017, and in

II. Background
FMCSA received applications from 110 individuals who requested an
exemption from the vision standard in the FMCSRs.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
concluded that granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to or greater than, the level of safety
that would be obtained by complying with the regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10).
III. Basis for Exemption Determination
Under 49 U.S.C.31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption if
it finds such an exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that
is equivalent to, or greater then, the level that would be achieved
absent such an exemption.
The Agency's decision regarding these exemption applications is
based on the eligibility criteria, the terms and conditions for Federal
exemptions, and an individualized assessment of each applicant's
medical information provided by the applicant.
IV. Conclusion
The Agency has determined that these applicants do not satisfy the
criteria eligibility or meet the terms and conditions of the Federal
exemption and granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to or greater than, the level of safety
that would be obtained by complying with the regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10). Therefore, the 110 applicants in this notice have been
denied exemptions from the physical qualification standards in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10).
