reasons, including amblyopia, complete
loss of vision, refractive amblyopia,
retinal detachment, and retinal
hemorrhage. In most cases, their eye
conditions did not develop recently.
Three of the applicants were either born
with their vision impairments or have
had them since childhood. The three
individuals that developed their vision
conditions as adults have had them for
a range of 4 to 12 years. Although each
applicant has one eye that does not meet
the vision requirement in
§ 391.41(b)(10), each has at least 20/40
corrected vision in the other eye, and,
in a doctor’s opinion, has sufficient
vision to perform all the tasks necessary
to operate a CMV.
Doctors’ opinions are supported by
the applicants’ possession of a valid
license to operate a CMV. By meeting
State licensing requirements, the
applicants demonstrated their ability to
operate a CMV with their limited vision
in intrastate commerce, even though
their vision disqualified them from
driving in interstate commerce. FMCSA
believes that the applicants’ intrastate
driving experience and history provide
an adequate basis for predicting their
ability to drive safely in interstate
commerce. Intrastate driving, like
interstate operations, involves
substantial driving on highways on the
interstate system and on other roads
built to interstate standards. Moreover,
driving in congested urban areas
exposes the driver to more pedestrian
and vehicular traffic than exists on
interstate highways. Faster reaction to
traffic and traffic signals is generally
required because distances between
them are more compact. These
conditions tax visual capacity and
driver response just as intensely as
interstate driving conditions.
The applicants in this notice have
driven CMVs with their limited vision
in careers ranging from 5 to 44 years. In
the past 3 years, one driver was
involved in a crash, and no drivers were
convicted of moving violations in
CMVs. All the applicants achieved a
record of safety while driving with their
vision impairment that demonstrates the
likelihood that they have adapted their
driving skills to accommodate their
condition. As the applicants’ ample
driving histories with their vision
deficiencies are good predictors of
future performance, FMCSA concludes
their ability to drive safely can be
projected into the future.
Consequently, FMCSA finds that in
each case exempting these applicants
from the vision requirement in
§ 391.41(b)(10) is likely to achieve a
level of safety equal to that existing
without the exemption.

V. Conditions and Requirements
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The terms and conditions of the
exemption are provided to the
applicants in the exemption document
and includes the following: (1) Each
driver must be physically examined
every year (a) by an ophthalmologist or
optometrist who attests that the vision
in the better eye continues to meet the
standard in § 391.41(b)(10) and (b) by a
certified medical examiner (ME) who
attests that the individual 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 in 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.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration
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 six
exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the
vision requirement, § 391.41(b)(10),
subject to the requirements cited above:
Jason R. Flodin (WA)
Justin W. Green (AR)
Joshua L. Kupsch (WI)
Josue M. Rodriguez-Espinoza (CA)
Dana R. Williams (IL)
Larry L. Yow (NC)
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), each exemption will be
valid for 2 years from the effective date
unless revoked earlier by FMCSA. The
exemption will be revoked if the
following occurs: (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 prior to being 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).

Associate Administrator for Policy.

C. Privacy Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c),
DOT solicits comments from the public
to better inform its regulatory 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 156 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,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:17 Oct 28, 2021
Jkt 256001
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 156 applicants
has satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the vision
standard (see 64 FR 27027, 64 FR 40404,

66444, 85 FR 4764). They 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 December and are
discussed below. As of December 3,
2021, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b), the following
140 individuals have satisfied the
renewal conditions for obtaining an
exemption from the vision requirement
in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV
drivers (64 FR 40404, 64 FR 66962, 65

C. Privacy Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its regulatory 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 156 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 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 156
applicants has satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an
exemption from the vision standard (see 64 FR 27027, 64 FR 40404, 64 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

49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following 140 individuals have
satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the
vision requirement in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (64 FR
