General Jurisdiction Over Freight Forwarder Service
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) amends its regulations to require all surface freight forwarders to issue a receipt or bill of lading on each shipment for which they arrange transportation of freight by commercial motor vehicle in interstate commerce. This regulatory change implements amendments enacted in the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA). While the current rule concerning receipts or bills of lading applies only to household goods freight forwarders, the new rule applies to both household goods and non- household goods freight forwarders.
Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Diabetes

FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemptions from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for 22 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals from the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not compromise safety.

Commercial Driver's License Standards: Application for Exemption; Isuzu Motors America, Inc. (Isuzu)
FMCSA announces that Isuzu North America Corporation (Isuzu) has applied for an exemption from the Federal requirement that drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) hold a commercial driver's license (CDL) issued by one of the States. Isuzu requests exemption so that 20 of its Japanese employees can test-drive Isuzu CMVs in the United States. Each of these 20 Isuzu employees holds a valid Japanese CDL but lacks the U.S. residency necessary to obtain a CDL from one of the States. Isuzu believes the knowledge and skills tests and training program that drivers undergo to obtain a Japanese CDL would provide for a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be achieved without the exemption.
