Regulatory Guidance: Clarification of
Reissuance Dates
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Regulatory guidance; notice of
reissuance dates.
AGENCY:
On March 3, 2020, the
Department announced the availability
of a regulatory guidance portal to
provide public access to the
Department’s guidance documents. This
notice clarifies the reissuance date of
FMCSA guidance published in
FMCSA’s guidance portal (‘‘Guidance
Portal’’ or ‘‘Portal’’) as of March 3, 2020.
This notice also clarifies the reissuance
dates for guidance posted between
March 4 and June 27, 2020, during the
‘‘grace period.’’
DATES: This clarification of prior
reissuance dates is applicable on June
20, 2023.

of Chief Counsel, FMCSA, 1200 New

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Order (E.O.) 13891 and the
Announcement of the DOT and FMCSA
Guidance Portals
On March 3, 2020, the Department
announced the availability of a portal
for regulatory guidance (85 FR 12663).
As explained in the introductory text on
the DOT Guidance Portal, each
operating administration maintains a
guidance portal available through a link
on the DOT Guidance Portal website.1
The guidance portals were originally
established to comply with section 3(a)
of E.O. 13891,2 which required each

FMCSA’s Guidance Portal may also be accessed
through a direct link: www.fmcsa.dot.gov/guidance.

Improved Agency Guidance Documents.’’ 84 FR

Federal agency to establish or maintain
on its website a single, searchable,
indexed database that contains or links
to all guidance documents in effect from
that agency or its components. While
E.O. 13891 has since been revoked,3 it
provides context, along with the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
memorandum 4 implementing the
Order, for the efforts FMCSA undertook
to comprehensively review its existing
guidance in establishing its Guidance
Portal.
The E.O. and implementing
memorandum required in part that
Federal agencies establish the database
mandated by the E.O. no later than
February 28, 2020, and permitted
agencies a grace period, through June
27, 2020, to reinstate any existing
guidance documents not posted by the
initial deadline without the need to
conduct a formal good faith cost
estimate or otherwise review the
guidance in accordance with newlyrequired approval procedures prior to
posting it to the relevant database (e.g.,
the FMCSA Guidance Portal). The E.O.
also required each agency to
comprehensively review its guidance
documents, rescind those it determined
should no longer be in effect, and
prohibited agencies from either
retaining in effect any guidance
document not posted to the database or
issuing a guidance document without
including it in the database. See 84 FR
55236.
FMCSA’s Reissuance of Existing
Guidance
FMCSA conducted an extensive
review of its guidance in response to the
requirement in E.O. 13891 to post
current guidance and rescind outdated
guidance. When FMCSA published
current guidance to FMCSA’s Portal,
including guidance with a specific
expiration date identified in the Federal
Register notices,5 FMCSA effectively

Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation.’’

Executive Order 13891, Titled ‘Promoting the Rule
of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance
Documents,’ ’’ (Oct. 31, 2019) available at: https://
www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/
M-20-02-Guidance-Memo.pdf.
5 In both Federal Register notices, FMCSA
referenced section 5203 of the Fixing America’s
Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Pub. L. 114–94,
129 Stat. 1312, 1535, Dec. 4, 2015). This section
does not require that an expiration date be added
to guidance but rather instructs, in part, that not
later than 5 years after the date on which a guidance
E:\FR\FM\20JNN1.SGM
20JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 117 / Tuesday, June 20, 2023 / Notices
reissued the guidance. The date the
Department announced the availability
of the regulatory guidance portals,
March 3, 2020, is therefore the
reissuance date for all guidance FMCSA
published in the Portal as of that date.
Guidance documents with previously
identified expiration dates are identified
as follows:
FMCSA Guidance Portal unique identifier(s)
Federal Register notice issuing
the guidance
FMCSA–HOS–AG–395.1–Q34, FMCSA–HOS–AG–395.1–Q35,
FMCSA–HOS–AG–395.1–Q36, and FMCSA–HOS–AG–395.1–Q37.
FMCSA–HOS–395.8–Q26 ......................................................................
83 FR 26374 (June 7, 2018) .........
Guidance documents that were posted
to the Portal by the initial OMB
deadline (February 28, 2020) were
publicly reissued on March 3, 2020;
however, FMCSA’s Guidance Portal will
continue to provide the original ‘‘issued
date’’ unless substantive updates were
subsequently made to the existing
guidance. FMCSA believes this
approach provides continuity and
minimizes risk of confusion as
compared with adding new issuance

dates each time a guidance document is
reissued.
Reissuance Dates of Grace Period
Guidance
This notice also clarifies the
reissuance dates of the 53 ‘‘grace
period’’ guidance documents, which are
the existing guidance documents
FMCSA posted to the Guidance Portal
between March 4 and June 27, 2020—

implementing memorandum. As with
the guidance posted to the Portal by
February 28, 2020, the original ‘‘issued
date’’ of all grace period guidance
documents remains the same unless
substantive updates were made to the
existing guidance. However, since the
guidance was not in fact posted to the
Portal by February 28, 2020, the
reissuance dates are the dates they were
posted to the Portal, as follows:

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 (Federal Docket Management
System), which can be reviewed at

searchable by the name of the submitter.
II. Background
FMCSA received applications from 27
individuals who requested an
exemption from the FMCSRs
prohibiting persons with a clinical
diagnosis of epilepsy or any other
condition that is likely to cause a loss
of consciousness or any loss of ability to
operate a CMV from operating CMVs in
interstate commerce.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these applicants and concluded that
granting these exemptions would not
provide a level of safety that would be
equivalent to, or greater than, the level
of safety that would be obtained by
complying with § 391.41(b)(8).
III. 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
exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2year period to align with the maximum
duration of a driver’s medical
certification. The Agency’s decision
regarding these exemption applications
is based on the eligibility criteria, the
terms and conditions for Federal
exemptions, and an individualized
assessment of each applicant’s medical
information provided by the applicant.
IV. Conclusion
The Agency has determined that these
applicants do not satisfy the eligibility
criteria or meet the terms and
conditions of the Federal exemption and
granting these exemptions would not
provide a level of safety that would be
equivalent to, or greater than, the level
of safety that would be obtained by
complying with § 391.41(b)(8).
Therefore, the 27 applicants in this
notice have been denied exemptions
from the physical qualification
standards in § 391.41(b)(8).
Each applicant has, prior to this
notice, received a letter of final
disposition regarding his/her exemption
request. Those decision letters fully
outlined the basis for the denial and
constitute final action by the Agency.
This notice summarizes the Agency’s
recent denials as required under 49
U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically
publishing names and reasons for
denial.
The following 27 applicants do not
meet the minimum time requirement for

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The E.O. and implementing memorandum required in part that Federal
agencies establish the database mandated by the E.O. no later than
February 28, 2020, and permitted agencies a grace period, through June
27, 2020, to reinstate any existing guidance documents not posted by
the initial deadline without the need to conduct a formal good faith
cost estimate or otherwise review the guidance in accordance with
newly-required approval procedures prior to posting it to the relevant
database (e.g., the FMCSA Guidance Portal). The E.O. also required each
agency to comprehensively review its guidance documents, rescind those
it determined should no longer be in effect, and prohibited agencies
from either retaining in effect any guidance document not posted to the
database or issuing a guidance document without including it in the
database. See 84 FR 55236.
FMCSA's Reissuance of Existing Guidance
FMCSA conducted an extensive review of its guidance in response to
the requirement in E.O. 13891 to post current guidance and rescind
outdated guidance. When FMCSA published current guidance to FMCSA's
Portal, including guidance with a specific expiration date identified
in the Federal Register notices,\5\ FMCSA effectively
[[Page 39905]]
reissued the guidance. The date the Department announced the
availability of the regulatory guidance portals, March 3, 2020, is
therefore the reissuance date for all guidance FMCSA published in the
Portal as of that date. Guidance documents with previously identified
expiration dates are identified as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ In both Federal Register notices, FMCSA referenced section
5203 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Pub.
L. 114-94, 129 Stat. 1312, 1535, Dec. 4, 2015). This section does
not require that an expiration date be added to guidance but rather
instructs, in part, that not later than 5 years after the date on
which a guidance document is published or during a regular review,
FMCSA reissue an updated version of any guidance document for which
it was not practicable to incorporate into its regulations. Sec.
5203(a)(3)-(4).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guidance documents that were posted to the Portal by the initial
OMB deadline (February 28, 2020) were publicly reissued on March 3,
2020; however, FMCSA's Guidance Portal will continue to provide the
original ``issued date'' unless substantive updates were subsequently
made to the existing guidance. FMCSA believes this approach provides
continuity and minimizes risk of confusion as compared with adding new
issuance dates each time a guidance document is reissued.
Reissuance Dates of Grace Period Guidance
This notice also clarifies the reissuance dates of the 53 ``grace
period'' guidance documents, which are the existing guidance documents
FMCSA posted to the Guidance Portal between March 4 and June 27, 2020--
the grace period established by the OMB implementing memorandum. As
with the guidance posted to the Portal by February 28, 2020, the
original ``issued date'' of all grace period guidance documents remains
the same unless substantive updates were made to the existing guidance.
However, since the guidance was not in fact posted to the Portal by
February 28, 2020, the reissuance dates are the dates they were posted
to the Portal, as follows:
