Proposed Collection; Comment Request, 65851-65852 [2022-23703]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 210 / Tuesday, November 1, 2022 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 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 23 applicants has satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the hearing requirement. The 23 drivers in this notice remain in good standing with the Agency. In addition, for commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders, the Commercial Driver’s License Information System and the Motor Carrier Management Information System are searched for crash and violation data. For non-CDL holders, the Agency 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. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following groups of drivers received renewed exemptions in the month of October and are discussed below. As of October 13, 2022, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following 14 individuals have satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the hearing requirement in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers: Matthew Albrecht (PA) Cory Adkins (FL) Richard Blaine (PA) Jacquelyn Hetherington (OK) Agustin Hernandez (TX) Andrew Hippler (ID) Scott Lufkin (NC) Paul Mansfield (KS) Berenice Martinez (TX) Jose Ramirez (IL) Thomas Sneer (MN) Daniel Stroud (UT) Michael Sweet (GA) Jason Wynne (TX) The drivers were included in docket number FMCSA–2015–0329, FMCSA– 2016–0002, FMCSA–2017–0058, FMCSA–2017–0059, FMCSA–2017– 0061, FMCSA–2018–0135, or FMCSA– 2018–0138. Their exemptions were applicable as of October 13, 2022 and will expire on October 13, 2024. As of October 30, 2022, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following nine individuals have satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the hearing requirement in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Oct 31, 2022 Jkt 259001 Adrian Almanza (IL) Jimmy Benavides (TX) James Bryan (AR) William Heath (NC) Kenneth Morrison (NY) Darren Norton (MO) Marty Posey (IN) Anthony Vasquez (TX) Daniel Zeolla (PA) DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Proposed Collection; Comment Request 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 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 23 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.
