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.

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 1 https://www.transportation.gov/guidance/ operating-administration-guidance-portals. FMCSA’s Guidance Portal may also be accessed through a direct link: www.fmcsa.dot.gov/guidance. 2 See ‘‘Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents.’’ 84 FR 55235 (Oct. 15, 2019), available at: https:// PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 While E.O. 13891 has since been revoked,3 it provides context, along with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memorandum 4 implementing the Order, for the efforts FMCSA undertook to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 www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/10/15/ 2019-22623/promoting-the-rule-of-law-throughimproved-agency-guidance-documents. 3 See E.O. 13992, ‘‘Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation.’’ 86 FR 7049 (Jan. 25, 2021), available at: https:// www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/01/25/ 2021-01767/revocation-of-certain-executive-ordersconcerning-federal-regulation. 4 See M–20–02, ‘‘Guidance Implementing 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 83 FR 26377 (June 7, 2018) ......... 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 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Applicability/expiration dates in Federal Register notice Applicable June 7, 2018; Expires June 7, 2023. Applicable on June 7, 2018; Expires June 7, 2023. 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: Unique identifier Issued date FMCSA–CDL–383.133–Q001 .....................................................................................................................

As described in the system of records notice DOT/ALL 14 (Federal Docket Management System), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/ individuals/privacy/privacy-act-systemrecords-notices, the comments are 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 PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3/19/2020 3/19/2020 3/19/2020 3/19/2020 3/19/2020 3/19/2020 3/19/2020 3/25/2020 3/5/2020 2/28/2020 Reissuance date 6/24/2020 6/24/2020 6/25/2020 6/25/2020 6/25/2020 6/25/2020 6/25/2020 6/25/2020 6/24/2020 6/23/2020 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 being seizure-free, either on or off of anti-seizure medication: Larry Attles (MI) Julio Baez-Soto (NY) Charles Boman (PA) Christopher Carver (TX) Ryan Cecchini (WI) Joey Cerniglia (GA) Jason Ebert (OH) Muhammad Elbaba (MN) Jonathan Flight (NE) Marcus Foster (NJ) Deyanira Gonzalez (TX) E:\FR\FM\20JNN1.SGM 20JNN1

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.

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 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 
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.

    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:
