Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

 
Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of denials.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FMCSA is publishing the names of persons denied exemptions 
from the vision standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and the reasons for 
the denials.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the applications 
addressed in this notice, Ms. Teresa Doggett, Office of Bus and Truck 
Standards and Operations, MC-PSD, (202) 366-2990; for information about 
legal issues related to this notice, Mr. Joe Solomey, Office of the 
Chief Counsel, (202) 366-1374, FMCSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, D.C. 20590-0001. Office hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 
p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) 
has the authority under 49 U.S.C. 31502 and 31136 to establish 
standards for physical qualifications that must be met by commercial 
motor vehicle drivers in interstate commerce. These standards are 
published in Part 391 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. 
The history and delegation of authority to the Federal Motor Carrier 
Safety Administration (FMCSA) was published in the Federal Register on 
January 4, 2000 (65 FR 220).

Background

    On June 9, 1998, the FHWA's waiver authority changed with enactment 
of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), Public 
Law 105-178, 112 Stat. 107. Section 4007 of TEA-21 amended the waiver 
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to change the standard for 
evaluating waiver requests, to distinguish between a waiver and an 
exemption, and to establish term limits for both. Under revised section 
31136(e), the FMCSA may grant a waiver for a period of up to 3 months 
or an exemption for a renewable 2-year period.
    The amendments to 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) also changed the criteria for 
exempting a person from application of a regulation. Previously an 
exemption was appropriate if it was consistent with the public interest 
and the safe operation of CMVs. Now the FMCSA may grant an exemption if 
it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that 
is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved 
absent such exemption.'' According to the legislative history, the 
Congress changed the statutory standard to give the agency greater 
discretion to consider exemptions. The previous standard was judicially 
construed as requiring an advance determination that absolutely no 
reduction in safety would result from an exemption. The Congress 
revised the standard to require that an ``equivalent'' level of safety 
be achieved by the exemption.
    The FMCSA individually evaluated 247 exemption requests on their 
merits, as required by the decision in Rauenhorst v. United States 
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, 95 F. 3d. 
715 (8th Cir. 1996), and determined that the applicants do not satisfy 
the criteria established to demonstrate that granting the exemptions is 
likely to achieve an equal or greater level of safety than exists 
without the exemption. Each applicant has, prior to this notice, 
received a letter of final disposition on his/her individual exemption 
request. Those decision letters fully outlined the basis for the denial 
and constitute final agency action. The list published today summarizes 
the agency's recent denials as required under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by 
periodically publishing names and reason for denials.
    Two hundred and six applicants lacked sufficient recent driving 
experience over the past three years. Thirteen applicants lacked at 
least three years of experience driving a commercial motor vehicle with 
their respective vision deficiencies. Two applicants had no experience 
driving a commercial motor vehicle. Five applicants were convicted of 
moving violations in conjunction with accidents. An applicant for an 
exemption cannot be involved in an accident for which he or she 
received a citation for a moving violation. Two applicants could not 
qualify for the exemption because they were convicted of three speeding 
violations in a three-year period, thus exceeding the two speeding 
violation maximum in a three-year period to qualify for the vision 
exemption. Two applicants had their licenses suspended during the 
three-year period and, therefore, could not qualify for the exemption. 
Two applicants did not qualify for the vision exemption because, in 
addition to the vision deficiency, they have other disqualifying 
medical conditions, and cannot meet the physical qualifications 
standards found at 49 CFR 391.41. One applicant did not have sufficient 
peripheral vision in the better eye to qualify for an exemption. 
Fourteen applicants did not qualify for the exemption because they meet 
the vision standards at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).

Summary of Causes for Not Granting Exemptions

    The FMCSA has denied the following petitions for exemption from the 
vision standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 
31315(b)(4) and 31136(e), the agency is publishing the names of the 
applicants and the reasons for not granting exemptions.

    Mr. Aalvik does not have sufficient driving experience over the 
past 3 years under normal highway operating conditions that would serve

4. Roberto E. Alvarado

and therefore presented no evidence from which the FMCSA can conclude 
that granting the exemption is likely to achieve a level of safety 
equal to that existing without the exemption.
