Notice of OFAC Sanctions Actions, 66387-66388 [2021-25441]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 222 / Monday, November 22, 2021 / Notices reviews the driving records from the State Driver’s Licensing Agency. These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting each driver’s ability to continue to safely operate a CMV in interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for each of these drivers for a period of 2 years is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption. As of November 19, 2021, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following 16 individuals have satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the hearing requirement in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers: Carlos Arellano (CA) Jeffrey Barbuto (NH) John Fazio (FL) Debbie Gaskill (GA) Derek Hawkins (NH) Emil Iontchev (IL) Justin Kilgore (FL) Danny McGowan (WV) Matthew Moore (TX) Abdiwahab Olow (MN) Tami Richardson-Nelson (NE) Willis Ryan (GA) Anthony Saive (TN) Dustin Selby (OH) Jennifer Valentine (TX) Derron Washington (IL) The drivers were included in docket number FMCSA–2014–0383, FMCSA– 2014–0385, FMCSA–2014–0387, FMCSA–2015–0328, FMCSA–2018– 0137, FMCSA–2018–0139, FMCSA– 2019–0109, or FMCSA–2019–0110. Their exemptions were applicable as of November 19, 2021 and will expire on November 19, 2023. jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 V. Conditions and Requirements The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions: (1) Each driver must report any crashes or accidents as defined in § 390.5; and (2) report all citations and convictions for disqualifying offenses under 49 CFR 383 and 49 CFR 391 to FMCSA; and (3) each driver prohibited from operating a 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 Each exemption will be valid for 2 years unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The person fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:30 Nov 19, 2021 Jkt 256001 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 16 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 two years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA. Larry W. Minor, Associate Administrator for Policy.
