II. Background

    On December 30, 2015, FMCSA published a notice announcing its 
decision to renew exemptions for 107 individuals from the insulin-
treated diabetes mellitus prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) to operate 
a CMV in interstate commerce and requested comments from the public (80 
FR 81667). The public comment period ended on January 29, 2016 and no 
comments were received.
    As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the 
eligibility of these applicants and determined that renewing these 
exemptions 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)(3).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding diabetes 
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) states that a person is physically 
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has no established medical 
history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring 
insulin for control.

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.

IV. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 107 renewal exemption applications 
and that no comments were received, FMCSA announces its decision to 
exempt the following drivers from the rule prohibiting drivers with 
ITDM from driving CMVs in interstate commerce in 49 CFR 391.64(3):
    As of January 5, 2016, the following 20 individuals have satisfied 
the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the rule 
prohibiting drivers with ITDM from driving CMVs
