Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration August 2, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Standards; Volvo Trucks North America, Renewal of Exemption
Document Number: 2010-18823
Type: Notice
Date: 2010-08-02
Agency: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
FMCSA renews an exemption from the requirement to hold a commercial driver's license (CDL) submitted by Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) on behalf of an employee. Volvo requested renewal of the CDL exemption for a Swedish engineer employed by the company to enable this individual to continue test-driving commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in the United States. This individual holds a valid Swedish CDL. FMCSA believes that the training program and knowledge and skills testing that drivers must undergo to obtain a Swedish CDL ensure a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be obtained by complying with the U.S. requirement for a CDL.
Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Standards; Rotel North American Tours, LLC; Application for Renewal of Exemption
Document Number: 2010-18820
Type: Notice
Date: 2010-08-02
Agency: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
FMCSA renews an exemption held by 22 drivers of Rotel North American Tours, LLC (Rotel) to enable them to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in the U.S. with German commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) and without CDLs issued by one of the States. Rotel conducts tours of the U.S. on a seasonal basis for Europeans. It uses motor coaches that are equipped with onboard sleeping and eating facilities. The drivers, in addition to operating the CMVs, provide oral commentary in German. Rotel previously was able to conduct these operations without exemption because its drivers were able to obtain (and renew) non-resident CDLs from certain States. However, there are currently no States willing to issue non-resident CDLs.
