II. Legal Basis
FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b) to grant
exemptions from certain Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Regulations. FMCSA must
publish a notice of each exemption
request in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(a)). The Agency must provide
the public an opportunity to inspect the
information relevant to the application,
including any safety analyses that have
been conducted. The Agency must also
provide an opportunity for public
comment on the request.
The Agency reviews safety analyses
and public comments submitted and
determines whether granting the
exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than,
the level that would be achieved by the
current regulation (49 CFR 381.305).
The decision of the Agency must be
published in the Federal Register (49
CFR 381.315(b)) with the reasons for
denying or granting the application and,
if granted, the name of the person or
class of persons receiving the
exemption, and the regulatory provision
from which the exemption is granted.
The notice must also specify the
effective period and explain the terms
and conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR
381.300(b)).
III. Applicant’s Request
The applicants seek an exemption
from the BTW instructor qualification
requirements as set forth in the
definition of ‘‘Behind-the-wheel (BTW)

VerDate Sep<11>2014

instructor’’ in FMCSA’s entry level
driver training regulations (49 CFR
380.605). The applicants state that the
two-year experience requirement for
BTW instructors impedes their ability to
hire enough trainers to meet the
demand. The applicants further explain
that MTI conducts training for all three
acquired companies and believe MTI’s
pre-ELDT policy of a one-year minimum
experience for its over-the-road (OTR)
trainers and its ‘‘extensive’’ safety
evaluation of those trainers has allowed
it to be a positive contributor to
highway safety.
MTI reports an estimated student
enrollment of 500 to 700 students for
2023 for all three companies. Its 131
trainers currently spend up to 90 days
with a student before letting them drive
solo and because of the shortage of
trainers, MTI will have to turn some
students away. The proposed exemption
would allow MTI to continue its oneyear minimum training experience
requirement so that it can add another
90 to 150 BTW trainers to its current
trainer group. Should the exemption be
granted, these additional trainers would
be allowed to conduct BTW training
without meeting the two-year minimum
requirement for BTW instructors.
A copy of the application for
exemption is included in the docket for
this notice.
IV. Request for Comments
In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31315(b), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on
this joint application for an exemption
from the BTW instructor qualification
requirements in 49 CFR 380.605. All
comments received before the close of
business on the comment closing date
indicated at the beginning of this notice
will be considered and will be available
for examination in the docket at the
location listed under the Addresses
section of this notice. Comments
received after the comment closing date
will be filed in the public docket and
will be considered to the extent
practicable. In addition to late
comments, FMCSA will continue to file,
in the public docket, relevant
information that becomes available after
the comment closing date. Interested
persons should continue to examine the
public docket for new material.
Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy.
