pdfFederal Register / Vol. 90, No. 96 / Tuesday, May 20, 2025 / Notices
DECS reported that in 2024, its positive
rate to its random drug testing program
was .003 percent. By contrast, the
overall positive rate for the truck and
bus industries in 2023 as reported by
FMCSA was 0.8 percent. DECS touts
this is an impressive datapoint,
especially given that most drivers in its
random pool live and work in
California, the first state in the nation to
legalize marijuana.

V. FMCSA Decision
FMCSA has evaluated the application
and the public comments. FMCSA
determined in 2020 that DECS’s process
for identifying qualified drivers for
member employers is uniquely designed
to accommodate safety concerns related
to drug and alcohol testing violations.
The Agency continues to believe that
the exemption will not jeopardize safety
because the employer and/or their C/
TPA must conduct a full query if the
limited query shows that information
about the driver exists in the
Clearinghouse. A driver’s specific
consent for the full query would be
provided electronically in the
Clearinghouse as required under the
existing regulations. At the same time,
DECS will continue operating the
database that it established prior to the
Clearinghouse, thereby providing
further means of identifying qualified
drivers. FMCSA concludes that based
on DECS’s existing processes, under the
terms and conditions set forth below,
the exemption is likely to achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or
greater than, the level of safety that
would be achieved in the absence of the
exemption, in accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31315(b)(1).
VI. Exemption
FMCSA grants DECS an exemption
from 49 CFR 382.701(a)(2). Under this
exemption, DECS may conduct a limited
query of the Clearinghouse before one of
its member employers hires a driver for
a project, rather than conducting a full
pre-employment query. If the limited
query indicates that information about
the driver exists in the Clearinghouse,
the driver is not permitted to perform
safety-sensitive functions unless and
until a full query subsequently shows
that the driver is not prohibited from
operating a CMV.
The exemption from the requirements
of 49 CFR 382.701(a)(2) is effective from
May 28, 2025, through May 28, 2030,
11:59 p.m. local time.
A. Applicability of Exemption
This exemption is applicable to DECS
members that employ CDL holders who
are subject to the drug and alcohol
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
testing requirements under 49 CFR part
382 while providing transportation
services to or from theatrical,
commercial, television, or motion
picture production sites.
B. Terms and Conditions
1. DECS and its member employers
must maintain operation of the DOT
Violation Database, as described in the
exemption application.
2. DECS, on behalf of its members,
must:
a. Obtain the results of a limited query
of FMCSA’s Clearinghouse for each
driver hired to operate a CMV for a
member employer if a full query is not
practicable.
b. Conduct a full query of FMCSA’s
Clearinghouse for each driver whose
limited query results indicate
information about the driver exists in
the Clearinghouse, and, in accordance
with current regulations, must not
permit the driver to perform safety
sensitive functions if the results of the
full query indicate the driver is
prohibited from doing so.
c. Provide FMCSA with a list of the
names and USDOT numbers of the
motor carriers operating under the
exemption to [email protected] annually
and upon request.
3. DECS, acting as a C/TPA, must:
a. Request, obtain, and retain limited
query consent forms from drivers on
behalf of its member employers, in
accordance with the regulations.
b. Report drivers’ controlled
substance and alcohol violations to
FMCSA’s Clearinghouse, in accordance
with the regulations.
c. Conduct full queries for each new
driver who has not previously operated
for any member employer.
C. Preemption
In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31315(d), as implemented by 49 CFR
381.600, during the period this
exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation applicable
to interstate commerce that conflicts
with or is inconsistent with this
exemption with respect to a firm or
person operating under the exemption.
States may, but are not required to,
adopt the same exemption with respect
to operations in intrastate commerce.
VII. Termination
FMCSA does not believe the drivers
covered by this exemption will
experience any deterioration of their
safety record. However, the exemption
will be rescinded if: (1) DECS, or the
drivers operating under the exemption
fail to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the

exemption has resulted in a lower level
of safety than was maintained before it
was granted; or (3) continuation of the
exemption would not be consistent with
the goals and objects of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 generally
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, the OCC
is publishing notice of the renewal/
revision of this collection.
Title: Reverse Mortgage Products:
Guidance for Managing Compliance and
Risks.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0246.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Description: On August 17, 2010, the
OCC, FDIC, FRB, and NCUA issued
Guidance 1 focusing on providing
adequate information to consumers
about reverse mortgage products,
providing qualified independent
counseling to consumers considering
these products, and avoiding potential
conflicts of interest. The Guidance also
addresses related policies, procedures,
internal controls, and third-party risk
management.
• The information collection
requirements contained in the Guidance
address the implementation of policies
and procedures, training, and program
maintenance. The Guidance states that
institutions offering reverse mortgages
should have written policies and
procedures that prohibit the practice of
directing a consumer to a particular
counseling agency or contacting a
counselor on the consumer’s behalf.
• Policies should be clear so that
originators do not have an inappropriate
incentive to sell other products that
appear linked to the granting of a
mortgage.
• Legal and compliance reviews
should include oversight of
compensation programs so that lending
personnel are not improperly
encouraged to direct consumers to
particular products.
• Training should be designed so that
relevant lending personnel are able to
convey information to consumers about
product terms and risks in a timely,
accurate, and balanced manner.
Estimated Frequency of Response: On
occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
12.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 136
hours.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. Comments are
invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper

has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,

be collected;

(e) Estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.
