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. Each
exemption will be valid for 2 years
unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. 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exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The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(b).
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 upon its evaluation of the three
exemption applications, FMCSA renews
the exemptions of the aforementioned
drivers from the hearing requirement in
§ 391.41(b)(11). In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), each
exemption will be valid for 2 years
unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
Issued on: August 21, 2019.
