FMCSA received applications from 37
individuals who requested an exemption from the vision standard in the FMCSRs.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and concluded that granting these exemptions would not provide a level of safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be obtained by complying with 391.41b10.

III. Basis for Exemption Determination Under 49 U.S.C. 31136e and 31315b, 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.
FMCSA grants exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a drivers medical certification.
The Agencys decision regarding these exemption applications is based on medical reports about the applicants vision, as well as their driving records and experience driving with the vision deficiency.
IV. Conclusion The Agency has determined that these applicants do not satisfy the eligibility criteria or meet the terms and conditions of the Federal exemption and granting these exemptions would not provide a level of safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be obtained by complying with 391.41b10.
Therefore, the 37 applicants in this notice have been denied exemptions from the physical qualification standards in 391.41b10.
Each applicant has, prior to this notice, received a letter of final disposition regarding his/her exemption request. Those decision letters fully outlined the basis for the denial and constitute final action by the Agency.
This notice summarizes the Agencys recent denials as required under 49
U.S.C. 31315b4 by periodically publishing names and reasons for denial.
