participate; and compiling,
anonymizing, and transferring the
carrier-owned, existing crash, ELD,
driver, and vehicle data sets a total of
seven times (i.e., initial data collection
plus every 6 months for 3 years).
Reviewing the study materials and
granting permission to participate in the
study is estimated to take each carrier 2
hours (one time response; 44 total
responses). Carriers are estimated to
spend approximately 6 hours compiling
the existing data sets (per response; 7
total responses), 1 hour anonymizing
the existing data sets (per response; 7
total responses), and 1 hour transferring
the existing data sets to the research
team (per response; 7 total responses);
however, there are only 40 responses for
these tasks as carriers that withdraw
from the study are replaced with new
carriers (e.g., Carrier A withdraws after
4 responses and Carrier B replaces
Carrier A for the remaining 3 responses).
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways for
FMCSA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected
information; and (4) ways that the
burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. The agency will summarize
or include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.

II. Background
On July 17, 2018, FMCSA published
a notice announcing its decision to
renew exemptions for 94 individuals
from the insulin-treated diabetes
mellitus prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce and requested
PO 00000
Frm 00101
Fmt 4703

comments from the public (71 FR
32177; 71 FR 45097; 75 FR 36775; 75 FR
50797; 77 FR 36333; 77 FR 40941; 77 FR
46791; 77 FR 51845; 79 FR 41723; 79 FR
56105; 81 FR 91242). The public
comment period ended on August 16,
2018, and one comment was 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 one comments in
this preceding. Henry Duke submitted a
comment supporting evaluation of
commercial drivers with ITDM, at
minimum by a physician familiar with
the Medical Qualifications for
Commercial Drivers. The commenter
voiced disagreement with the current
regulation regarding insulin use, and
suggested that ITDM should not be a
disqualifying condition. Finally, the
commenter voiced the concern that
drivers may not disclose their insulin
use to the certifying Medical Examiner.
On September 19, 2018, FMCSA
published the Qualifications of Drivers;
Diabetes Standard final rule, removing
the blanket prohibition of insulin use
and adopting a revised physical
qualification standard for operators of
CMV with ITDM (83 FR 47448). The
revised regulation eliminates the need
for a Federal diabetes exemption and
allows certified medical examiners, in
consultation with the individual’s
treating clinician and use of the new
Insulin Treated Diabetes Mellitus Form,
MCSA–5870, to evaluate and determine
whether to grant an ITDM individual a
medical examiner’s certificate (MEC).
Federal exemptions are currently being
granted to individuals that applied prior
to the publication date, such as those in
this notice, to ensure that they can
continue to drive until the final rule is
effective on November 19, 2018.
IV. Conclusion
Based on its evaluation of the 94
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
