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rescinded if: (1) The person fails to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

31315.
VI. Preemption
During the period the exemption is in
effect, no State shall enforce any law or

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c),
DOT solicits comments from the public
to better inform its rulemaking process.
DOT posts these comments, without
edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–
14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.
II. Background
FMCSA received applications from
124 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 than, 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 eligibility
criteria or meet the terms and
conditions of the Federal exemption and
granting these exemptions would not
provide a level of safety that would be
PO 00000
Frm 00116

Sfmt 4703

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 124
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.

recent denials as required under 49
U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically
