Abstract: This information collection request is voluntary and may be utilized by medical examiners (MEs) responsible for issuing Medical Examiner’s Certificates (MECs) to commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers to communicate with treating healthcare professionals who are responsible for prescribing certain medications, to fully understand the reasons the medications have been prescribed. The information obtained by utilizing the IC will assist the ME in determining whether the underlying medical condition and the prescribed medication will impact the safe operation of a CMV.

Short Statement: This new collection will ensure that certified Medical Examiners responsible for issuing MECs to CMV drivers, communicate with healthcare professionals responsible for prescribing the use of certain medications, fully understand the reasons the medications have been prescribed and to determine whether or not the use of the medications and the underlying condition being treated preclude the issuance of a MEC. Because there is moderate evidence to support the contention that the licit use of opioids increases the risk of a motor vehicle crashes and impacts indirect measures of driver performance negatively, the collection of this information will assist certified MEs in determining whether a CMV driver is physically qualified to drive a CMV.
