C. Privacy Act
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.transportation.gov/privacy.
II. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), FMCSA may grant an
exemption from the FMCSRs for no
longer than a 5-year period if it finds
such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or
greater than, the level that would be
achieved absent such exemption. The
statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 5-year
period. FMCSA grants medical
exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2year period to align with the maximum
duration of a driver’s medical
certification.
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
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.
The 95 individuals listed in this
notice have requested renewal of their
exemptions from the vision standard in
§ 391.41(b)(10), in accordance with
FMCSA procedures. Accordingly,
FMCSA has evaluated these
applications for renewal on their merits
and decided to extend each exemption
for a renewable 2-year period.
III. Request for Comments
Interested parties or organizations
possessing information that would
otherwise show that any, or all, of these
drivers are not currently achieving the
statutory level of safety should
immediately notify FMCSA. The
Agency will evaluate any adverse
evidence submitted and, if safety is
being compromised or if continuation of
the exemption would not be consistent
with the goals and objectives of 49

U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA
will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.
IV. Basis for Renewing Exemptions
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), each of the 95 applicants

have submitted evidence showing that
the vision in the better eye continues to
meet the requirement specified at
§ 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision

impairment is stable. In addition, a
review of each record of safety while
driving with the respective vision
deficiencies over the past 2 years
indicates each applicant continues to
meet the vision exemption
requirements. These factors provide an
adequate basis for predicting each
driver’s ability to continue to drive
safely in interstate commerce.
Therefore, FMCSA concludes that
extending the exemption for each
renewal applicant for a period of 2 years
is likely to achieve a level of safety
equal to that existing without the
exemption.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), the following groups of
drivers received renewed exemptions in
the month of April and are discussed

or optometrist who attests that the
vision in the better eye continues to
meet the requirements in 49 CFR
E:\FR\FM\05MRN1.SGM
05MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 44 / Thursday, March 5, 2020 / Notices
391.41(b)(10), and (b) by a certified
medical examiner (ME), as defined by
§ 390.5, who attests that the driver is
otherwise physically qualified under
§ 391.41; (2) each driver must provide a
copy of the ophthalmologist’s or
optometrist’s report to the ME at the
time of the annual medical examination;
and (3) each driver must provide a copy
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 if he/her
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(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.
VI. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 95
exemption applications, FMCSA renews
the exemptions of the aforementioned
drivers from the vision requirement in
§ 391.41(b)(10), subject to the
requirements cited above. 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.

II. Background
On January 15, 2020, FMCSA
published a notice announcing receipt
of applications from eight individuals
requesting an exemption from the
hearing requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(11) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (85 FR2483).
The public comment period ended on
February 14, 2020, and no comments
were received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these applicants and determined that
granting exemptions to these
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
12963
individuals would achieve a level of
safety equivalent to, or greater than, the
level that would be achieved by
complying with § 391.41(b)(11).
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding hearing found in
§ 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is
physically qualified to drive a CMV if
that person first perceives a forced
whispered voice in the better ear at not
less than 5 feet with or without the use
of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of
an audiometric device, does not have an
average hearing loss in the better ear
greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000
Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
hearing aid when the audiometric
device is calibrated to American
National Standard (formerly ASA
Standard) Z24.5–1951.
This standard was adopted in 1970
and was revised 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 no comments in this
proceeding.
IV. Basis for Exemption Determination
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), FMCSA may grant an
exemption from the FMCSRs for no
longer than a 5-year period if it finds
such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or
greater than, the level that would be
achieved absent such exemption. The
statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 5-year
period. FMCSA grants medical
exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2year period to align with the maximum
duration of a driver’s medical
certification.
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, for

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions for 95
individuals from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) for interstate commercial motor vehicle
(CMV) drivers. The exemptions enable these individuals to continue to
operate CMVs in interstate commerce without meeting the vision
requirements in one eye.
DATES: Each group of renewed exemptions were applicable on the dates
stated in the discussions below and will expire on the dates stated in
the discussions below. Comments must be received on or before April 6,
2020.

C. Privacy Act
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.transportation.gov/privacy.
II. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification.
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 without corrective lenses, field of vision of at
least 70[deg] in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability
to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red,
green, and amber.
The 95 individuals listed in this notice have requested renewal of
their exemptions from the vision standard in Sec. 391.41(b)(10), in
accordance with FMCSA procedures. Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated
these applications for renewal on their merits and decided to extend
each exemption for a renewable 2-year period.
III. Request for Comments
Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49
[[Page 12961]]
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke
the exemption of a driver.
IV. Basis for Renewing Exemptions
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), each of the 95
applicants has satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an
exemption from the vision standard (see 64 FR 54948; 64 FR 68195; 65 FR

evidence showing that the vision in the better eye continues to meet
the requirement specified at Sec. 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision
impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each record of safety
while driving with the respective vision deficiencies over the past 2
years indicates each applicant continues to meet the vision exemption
requirements. These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting
each driver's ability to continue to drive safely in interstate
commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for
each renewal applicant for a period of 2 years is likely to achieve a
level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following
groups of drivers received renewed exemptions in the month of April and
are discussed below. As of April 1, 2020, and in accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following 25 individuals have
satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the
vision requirement in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (70 FR
