B. 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
On December 10, 2021, FMCSA
published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 109
individuals from the vision requirement
in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) to operate a
CMV in interstate commerce and
requested comments from the public (86
FR 70571). The public comment period
ended on January 10, 2022, and no
comments were received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these applicants and determined that
renewing these exemptions would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by complying with the current
regulation § 391.41(b)(10).
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding vision found in
§ 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.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this
proceeding.
IV. Conclusion
Based on its evaluation of the 109
renewal exemption applications and
comments received, FMCSA confirms
its decision to exempt the following
drivers from the vision requirement in
§ 391.41(b)(10).
As of January 3, 2022, and in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), the following 87 individuals
have satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirement in the FMCSRs for

Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its
decision to exempt 13 individuals from
the vision requirement in the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) to operate a commercial
motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate
commerce. They are unable to meet the
vision requirement in one eye for
various reasons. The exemptions enable
these individuals to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce without meeting
the vision requirement in one eye.
DATES: The exemptions were applicable
on January 11, 2022. The exemptions
expire on January 11, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
B. 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
On December 10, 2021, FMCSA
published a notice announcing receipt
of applications from 13 individuals
requesting an exemption from vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10)
and requested comments from the
public (86 FR 70575). The public
comment period ended on January 10,
2022, and no comments were received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these applicants and determined that
granting the exemptions to these
individuals would achieve a level of
safety equivalent to, or greater than, the
level that would be achieved by
complying with § 391.41(b)(10).
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding vision found in
§ 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.

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

year period to align with the maximum
duration of a driver’s medical
certification.
The Agency’s decision regarding these
exemption applications is based on
medical reports about the applicants’
vision, as well as their driving records
and experience driving with the vision
deficiency. The qualifications,
experience, and medical condition of
each applicant were stated and
discussed in detail in the December 10,
2021, Federal Register notice (86 FR
70575) and will not be repeated here.
FMCSA recognizes that some drivers
do not meet the vision requirement but
have adapted their driving to
accommodate their limitation and
demonstrated their ability to drive
safely. The 13 exemption applicants
listed in this notice are in this category.
They are unable to meet the vision
requirement in one eye for various
reasons, including amblyopia, central
scotoma, enucleation, glaucoma,
ischemic optic neuropathy, macular
pucker, prosthetic, retinal detachment,
and retinal scarring. In most cases, their
eye conditions did not develop recently.
Eight of the applicants were either born
with their vision impairments or have
had them since childhood. The five
individuals that developed their vision
conditions as adults have had them for
a range of 5 to 16 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. We
believe 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
