period. 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 renewal applicant for a period
of 2 years is likely to achieve a level of
safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.
As of February 3, 2023, 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
epilepsy and seizure disorders
prohibition in the FMCSRs for interstate
CMV drivers:
Jeffrey Ballweg (WI)
David Crouch (KY)
Peter DellaRocco (PA)
Ronnie Moody (NC)
Brian Porter (PA)
Isaac Rogers (IL)
Thomas Tincher (NC)
Keith White (PA)
Floyd Williams (VA)
The drivers were included in docket
number FMCSA–2010–0203, FMCSA–
2013–0109, FMCSA–2013–0444,
FMCSA–2014–0215, FMCSA–2016–
0008, FMCSA–2018–0053, FMCSA–
2018–0056, or FMCSA–2019–0036.
Their exemptions are applicable as of
February 3, 2023 and will expire on
February 3, 2025.

V. Conditions and Requirements
The exemptions are extended subject
to the following conditions: (1) each
driver must remain seizure-free and
maintain a stable treatment during the
2-year exemption period; (2) each driver
must submit annual reports from their
treating physicians attesting to the
stability of treatment and that the driver
has remained seizure-free; (3) each
driver must undergo an annual medical
examination by a certified ME, as
defined by § 390.5; and (4) 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 of his/her driver’s
qualification file if he/she is selfemployed. 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

Jkt 259001
rescinded if: (1) the person fails to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 on its evaluation of the nine
exemption applications, FMCSA renews
the exemptions of the aforementioned
drivers from the epilepsy and seizure
disorders prohibition in § 391.41(b)(8).
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), each exemption will be
valid for 2 years unless revoked earlier
by FMCSA.
