This revision is due to a final rule entitled, "Medical Examiner's Certification Integration," which would require medical examiners who conduct medical examinations for interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers to complete certain training concerning Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) physical qualifications standards, pass a certification test and maintain competence through periodic retraining and retesting.
