Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 86 / Thursday, May 2, 2024 / Notices
drivers are not currently achieving the
statutory level of safety should
immediately notify FMCSA. The
Agency will evaluate any adverse
evidence submitted and, if safety is
being compromised or if continuation of
the exemption would not be consistent
with the goals and objectives of 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA
will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

IV. Basis for Renewing Exemptions
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), each of the 13 applicants
has satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the
hearing requirement. The 13 drivers in
this notice remain in good standing with
the Agency. 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 of these drivers for a period of
2 years is likely to achieve a level of
safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), the following groups of
drivers received renewed exemptions in
the month of May and are discussed
below.
As of May 15, 2024, and in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), the following 12 individuals
have satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the
hearing requirement in the FMCSRs for
interstate CMV drivers:
Yunier Alegre (NE)
Dustin Bemesderfer (FL)
Marion Bennet (MD)
Marquarius Boyd (MS)
Stephan Gensmer (MN)
Leonie Hall (IL)
William Larson (NC)
Jonathan Ramirez (CA)
Tami Richardson-Nelson (NE)
Joseph Strassburg (SD)
Charles Whitworth (LA)
Aldale Williamson (DC)
The drivers were included in docket
number FMCSA–2012–0332, FMCSA–
2013–0124, FMCSA–2014–0103,
FMCSA–2014–0387, FMCSA–2017–

are applicable as of May 15, 2024 and
will expire on May 15, 2026.
As of May 19, 2024, and in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), Michael Paasch (NE) has
satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the
hearing requirement in the FMCSRs for
interstate CMV drivers:
This driver was included in FMCSA–
2013–0125. The exemption is applicable
as of May 19, 2024 and will expire on
May 19, 2026.
V. Conditions and Requirements
The exemptions are extended subject
to the following conditions: (1) each
driver must report any crashes or
accidents as defined in § 390.5T; and (2)
report all citations and convictions for
disqualifying offenses under 49 CFR
parts 383 and 391 to FMCSA; and (3)
each driver prohibited from operating a
motorcoach or bus with passengers in
interstate commerce. The driver must
also have a copy of the exemption when
driving, for presentation to a duly
authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official. In addition, the
exemption does not exempt the
individual from meeting the applicable
CDL testing requirements. Each
exemption will be valid for 2 years
unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The
exemption will be 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 upon its evaluation of the 13
exemption applications, FMCSA renews
the exemptions of the aforementioned
drivers from the hearing requirement in
§ 391.41 (b)(11). 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.
