Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration December 16, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

FMCSA announces receipt of an application from one individual for an exemption from the prohibition in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) against operation of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate commerce by persons with either a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV. If granted, the exemption would enable this individual who has been diagnosed with narcolepsy and is receiving medical treatment to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, this notice announces that a revision to the Information Collection Request (ICR) discussed below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and emergency approval. FMCSA will no longer be offering a $25 incentive for those who complete the survey. FMCSA is also making non-substantive changes to the survey to make it easier to complete and to make the data collected more useful. The revised ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected paperwork burdens. FMCSA requests that OMB approve this collection by December 20, 2021.
