the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–
14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.
II. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), FMCSA may grant an
exemption from the FMCSRs for no
longer than a 5-year period 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. The
statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 5-year
period. FMCSA grants medical
exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2year period to align with the maximum
duration of a driver’s medical
certification.
The individuals listed in this notice
have requested an exemption from 49
CFR 391.41(b)(4). Accordingly, the
Agency will evaluate the qualifications
of the applicants to determine whether
granting the exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by
statute.
The physical qualification standard
found in § 391.41(b)(4) states that a
person is physically qualified to drive a
CMV if that person has no current
clinical diagnosis of myocardial
infarction, angina pectoris, coronary
insufficiency, thrombosis, or any other
cardiovascular disease of a variety
known to be accompanied by syncope,
dyspnea, collapse, or congestive cardiac
failure.
In addition to the regulations, FMCSA
has published advisory criteria 1 to
assist medical examiners in determining
whether drivers with certain medical
conditions are qualified to operate a
CMV in interstate commerce. The
advisory criteria states that ICDs are
disqualifying due to risk of syncope.
III. Qualifications of Applicant
Thomas O. Adams, Jr.
Mr. Adams, Jr. is a CMV driver in
Virginia. A June 19, 2020, letter from his
cardiologist reports that his ICD was
implanted in March of 2020, that he has
received no shocks since implantation,
and his heart condition is stable with
further testing scheduled.
Louis Ronquillo
Mr. Ronquillo is a CMV driver in
California. A July 2020, letter from his
cardiologist reports that his ICD was
1 These criteria may be found in 49 CFR part 391,
APPENDIX A TO PART 391—MEDICAL
ADVISORY CRITERIA, section D. Cardiovascular:
§ 391.41(b)(4), paragraph 4, which is available on
the internet at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR2015-title49-vol5/pdf/CFR-2015-title49-vol5part391-appA.pdf.

implanted in 2013 and that he has been

seven years. He has not had any ICD
shocks or arrhythmias.
Request for Comments

and 31315(b), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on

notice. We will consider all comments
