V. Conditions and Requirements
The exemptions are extended subject
to the following conditions: (1) Each
driver must undergo an annual physical
examination (a) by an ophthalmologist
or optometrist who attests that the
vision in the better eye continues to
meet the requirements in 49 CFR
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 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will be rescinded if: (1) The person fails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

effect, no State shall enforce any law or

B. Privacy Act
In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments
from the public on the exemption
request. 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.dot.gov/privacy.
II. Background
On January 10, 2022, FMCSA
published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 91
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 (87
FR 1250). The public comment period
ended on February 9, 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 91
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 February 9, 2022, and in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), the following 85 individuals
have satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the vision

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration
[Docket No. FMCSA–2021–0172]
Commercial Driver’s License Skills
Testing: Application for Exemption;
American Association of Motor Vehicle
Administrators (AAMVA)
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of final disposition; grant
of application for exemption.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its
decision to grant the exemption request
of the American Association of Motor
Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA).
AAMVA requested a multi-year
exemption on behalf of the State Driver
Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) in
Maryland, New Hampshire, and
Virginia to allow the three States to
continue using revised Commercial
Driver’s License (CDL) pre-trip vehicle
inspection and revised control skills test
procedures following the completion of
field tests conducted under a waiver
granted by the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA).
AAMVA believes that the requested
exemption would enable these States to
continue operating under the pilot
model without the burden of reverting
to the current CDL test model generating
costs and delays associated with the reconfiguration of testing locations and
retraining of CDL test examiners.
FMCSA has analyzed the exemption
application and the public comments
and has determined that the exemption,
subject to the terms and conditions
imposed, will achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to, or greater than, the
level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.
DATES: The exemption is effective
February 22, 2022, and expires on
February 22, 2027.

II. Legal Basis
FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b) to grant
exemptions from certain Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
FMCSA must publish a notice of each
exemption request in the Federal
Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The
Agency must provide the public an
opportunity to inspect the information
relevant to the application, including
any safety analyses that have been
conducted. The Agency must also
provide an opportunity for public
comment on the request.
FMCSA reviews safety analyses and
public comments submitted to the
Agency and determines whether
granting the exemption would likely
achieve a level of safety equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49
CFR 381.305). The Agency’s decision
must be published in the Federal
Register (49 CFR 381.315(b)) with the
reasons for denying or granting the
application and, if granted, the name of
the person or class of persons receiving
the exemption, and the regulatory
provision from which the exemption is
granted. The notice must also specify
the effective period (up to 5 years) and
explain the terms and conditions of the
exemption. The exemption may be
renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

III. Background
Current Regulatory Requirements
The CDL requirements in 49 CFR part
383, subpart G, Required Knowledge
and Skills, specifically section 49 CFR
383.133(c)(1) and (2), require the
following: Test methods: (1) A State
must develop, administer and score the
skills tests based solely on the
information and standards contained in
the driver and examiner manuals
referred to in § 383.131(a) and (b); and
(2) a State must use the standardized
scores and instructions for
administering the tests contained in the
examiner manual referred to in
§ 383.131(b).
Applicant’s Request
On October 25, 2021, the American
Association of Motor Vehicle
Administrators (AAMVA) requested that
FMCSA consider granting SDLAs in
Maryland, New Hampshire, and
Virginia (the pilot States) a multi-year
exemption to allow these States to
continue using revised CDL vehicle
inspection and revised control skills
procedures they had previously
evaluated during field tests covered by
a waiver from FMCSA. The requested
exemption would permit these States to
continue CDL testing without the
burden of reverting back to the older
CDL test model which would generate
costs and delays associated with reconfiguration of testing locations and
retraining of CDL test examiners.
Previously, AAMVA requested a 90day waiver from 49 CFR 383.133 to
enable the pilot States to complete field
tests of the new CDL skills test
procedures. FMCSA determined that the
waiver achieved an equivalent level of
safety to the current regulations and
therefore granted the request for the
period of June 1, 2021, through
September 1, 2021, for the first round of
field tests; the Agency granted a
separate waiver to cover additional field
tests through December 1, 2021. FMCSA
subsequently granted another waiver,
effective through February 22, 2022, to
avoid requiring the three States to revert
to the current skills test procedures
while the Agency considered the multiyear exemption.
In its current request, AAMVA is
seeking a multi-year exemption to allow
Maryland, New Hampshire, and
Virginia to continue using the revised
CDL vehicle inspection and revised
control skills procedures once the field
test waiver period has concluded.
According to AAMVA, this exemption
would permit the pilot States to
continue CDL testing without the
burden of reverting back to the older

B. Privacy Act
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments
from the public on the exemption request. 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.dot.gov/privacy.
II. Background
On January 10, 2022, FMCSA published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 91 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 (87 FR 1250). The
public comment period ended on February 9, 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 Sec. 391.41(b)(10).
The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in Sec. 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.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.
IV. Conclusion
Based on its evaluation of the 91 renewal exemption applications
and comments received, FMCSA confirms its decision to exempt the
following drivers from the vision requirement in Sec. 391.41(b)(10).
As of February 9, 2022, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), the following 85 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 FR
