of the annual medical certification to
the employer for retention in the
driver’s qualification file, or keep a copy
of his/her driver’s qualification file if
he/she is self-employed. The driver
must also have a copy of the exemption
when driving, for presentation to a duly
authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official. The exemption
will be rescinded if: (1) The person fails
to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level
of safety than was maintained before it
was granted; or (3) continuation of the
exemption would not be consistent with
the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315.
VI. Preemption
During the period the exemption is in
effect, no State shall enforce any law or
regulation that conflicts with this
exemption with respect to a person
operating under the exemption.
VII. Conclusion
Based on its evaluation of the three
exemption applications, FMCSA renews
the exemptions of the aforementioned
drivers from the epilepsy and seizure
disorders prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41
(b)(8). In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, each exemption
will be valid for two years unless
revoked earlier by FMCSA.

and Quarterly Brewer’s Report of
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1513–0007.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: The Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5415 requires
that all brewers furnish reports of
operations and transactions in the form,
at the times, and for such periods as the
Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by
regulation. Under that authority, the
TTB regulations require brewers to file
monthly operations reports using TTB F
5130.9, Brewer’s Report of Operations, if
they anticipate an annual Federal excise
tax liability of $50,000 or more for beer
in a given calendar year. For brewers
that anticipate a liability of less than
$50,000 for such taxes in a given year
and that had such liability the previous
year, the TTB regulations require such
brewers to file quarterly operations
reports using TTB F 5130.9 or the
simplified TTB F 5130.26, Quarterly
Brewer’s Report of Operations. The
information collected from brewers on
their operations reports regarding the
amount of beer they produce, receive,
return, remove, transfer, destroy, or
otherwise gain or dispose of is necessary
to protect the revenue and ensure
compliance with statutory and
regulatory requirements.
Form: TTB F 5130.26sm, TTB F
5130.9.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5,300.
