II. Legal Basis
FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b) to grant
exemptions from 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:01 Apr 19, 2023
Jkt 259001
information relevant to the application,
including any safety analyses that have
been conducted. The Agency must
provide an opportunity for public
comment on the request.
The Agency reviews safety analyses
and public comments submitted 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 must publish its decision 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
specify the effective period and explain
the terms and conditions of the
exemption. The exemption may be
renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).
III. Applicant’s Request
Alaska’s Ice Road Driving School
seeks an exemption from the
requirements, set forth in 49 CFR part
380, Appendices A and B, that drivertrainees seeking a Class A or Class B
CDL demonstrate proficiency in BTW
maneuvers related to entering the on
ramp, exiting the off ramp, right turns,
and left turns. The applicant states that
due to Alaska’s unique road system they
believe that the exemption would
benefit Alaska’s driver training schools
and give them confidence to take on
prospective students and complete the
required BTW training safely. Alaska’s
Ice Road Driving School requests the
exemption regarding routing
prescriptions that are specific to exact
off and on ramps, and right and left
turns, adding that it will aid in the safe
administration of road tests by the
Alaska State Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV). The applicant adds
that the regulation could be waived
safely and allow the school and the
State of Alaska to prescribe routes based
upon the area in which the road skills
exam would be administered. The
applicant seeks the exemption on behalf
of itself and all State and local
Commercial Driving Schools in Alaska
as well as individuals qualified as thirdparty testers in the State of Alaska.
A copy of the Alaska’s Ice Road
Driving School application for
exemption is available for review in the
docket for this notice.
IV. Request for Comments

31315(b), FMCSA requests public
