Background: The licensed drivers in
the United States deserve reasonable
assurance that their fellow motorists are
properly qualified to drive the vehicles
they operate. Before the Commercial
Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986
(CMVSA or the Act) Public Law 99–570,
Title XII, 100 Stat. 3207, codified at 49
U.S.C. chapter 313) was signed by the
President on October 27, 1986, 18 States
and the District of Columbia authorized
any person licensed to drive an
automobile to also legally drive a large
truck or bus. No special training or
special license was required to drive
these vehicles, even though it was
widely recognized that operation of
certain types of vehicles called for
special skills, knowledge and training.
Even in the 32 States that had a
classified driver licensing system in
place, only 12 of these States required
an applicant to take a skills test in a
representative vehicle. Equally serious
was the problem of drivers possessing
multiple driver licenses. By spreading
their convictions among several States,
CMV drivers could avoid punishment
for their infringements, and stay behind
the wheel.
For a detailed history of regulatory
developments in 49 CFR parts 383 and
384 to implement the mandates in the
CMVSA, see the supporting statement in
the docket for this matter.’’

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption
Applications; Vision
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
AGENCY:

FMCSA announces its
decision to exempt 13 individuals from
the vision requirement in the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) to operate a commercial
motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate
commerce. They are unable to meet the
vision requirement in one eye for
various reasons. The exemptions enable
these individuals to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce without meeting
the vision requirement in one eye.
DATES: The exemptions were applicable
on August 17, 2018. The exemptions
expire on August 17, 2020.

B. Privacy Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c),
DOT solicits comments from the public
to better inform its rulemaking process.
DOT posts these comments, without
edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–
14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.
II. Background
On July 17, 2018, FMCSA published
a notice announcing receipt of
applications from 13 individuals
requesting an exemption from vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10)
and requested comments from the
public (83 FR 33292). The public
comment period ended on August 16,
2018, and no comments were received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these applicants and determined that
granting the exemptions to these
individuals would achieve a level of
safety equivalent to or greater than the
level that would be achieved by
complying with the current regulation
49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding vision found in 49
CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is
physically qualified to driver a CMV if
that person has distant visual acuity of
at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye
without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40
(Snellen) or better with corrective
lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least
20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or
without corrective lenses, field of vision
of at least 70° in the horizontal meridian
in each eye, and the ability to recognize
the colors of traffic signals and devices
showing red, green, and amber.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this
proceeding.
IV. Basis for Exemption Determination
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption for up
to five years from the vision standard in
49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) if the exemption is
likely to achieve an equivalent or greater
level of safety than would be achieved
without the exemption. The exemption
allows applicants to operate CMVs in
