rescinded if: (1) The person fails to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 on its evaluation of the five
exemption applications, FMCSA renews
the exemptions of the aforementioned
drivers from the epilepsy and seizure
disorders prohibition in § 391.41(b)(8).
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.

Petition for Extension of Waiver of
Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on September 14, 2021, the Capital
Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(CMTY) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension
of a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR
238.309, Periodic brake equipment
maintenance. The relevant FRA Docket
Number is FRA–2016–0126.
By letter dated July 7, 2020, FRA
granted CMTY an extension of relief
until December 31, 2021, in which to
acquire brake components required for
CMTY’s four GTW G–4 diesel multiple
units, due to manufacturing delays of
the components. At this time, CMTY
requests an additional six-month
extension of the previously granted
relief, as manufacturing delays are
causing additional time to be needed for
the final air brake kit to be rebuilt and
recertified.
