Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 18, 2023 / Notices
for Reliable and Safe Highways, and
Parents Against Tired Truckers. In the
joint comment TSC ‘‘strongly requests
this inadequately justified exemption to
HOS requirements be denied in full.
Large truck crash fatalities continue to
increase at an alarming pace, and it is
incumbent on the Department of
Transportation and FMCSA to take
every measure possible to reverse this
trend and affirm life safety as its top
priority by denying the request in full.’’
VII. FMCSA Safety Analysis and
Decision
FMCSA evaluated Mr. Olier’s
application and public comments.
FMCSA denies the exemption request.
Mr. Olier failed to establish that he
would likely maintain a level of safety
equivalent to, or greater than, the level
achieved without the exemption. The
Agency established and enforces the
HOS regulations to keep fatigued drivers
off the public roadways and reduce the
risk of crashes. Research studies
demonstrate that long work hours
reduce sleep and harm driver health,
and that crash risk increases with work
hours. The HOS regulations impose
limits on when and how long an
individual may drive, to ensure that
drivers stay awake and alert, and to
reduce the possibility of cumulative
fatigue. The Agency concurs with
commenters that if it exempts one
individual from the HOS regulations, it
could open the door for a huge number
of similar exemption requests. Such a
result would be inconsistent with a
primary goal of the HOS regulations,
which is to prevent crashes arising out
of fatigued driving.
For the above reasons, John Olier’s
exemption application is denied.
Earl Stanley Adams, Jr.,
Deputy Administrator.
