ACTION: Notice of final disposition. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions for 79 individuals from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) for interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. The exemptions enable these individuals to continue to operate CMVs in interstate commerce without meeting the vision requirement in one eye. DATES: Each group of renewed exemptions was effective on the dates stated in the discussions below and will expire on the dates stated in the discussions below. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief, Medical Programs Division, 202-366-4001, [email protected], FMCSA, Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W64-224, Washington, DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. If you have questions regarding viewing or submitting material to the docket, contact Docket Services, telephone (202) 366-9826. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Electronic Access You may see all the comments online through the Federal Document [[Page 12681]] Management System (FDMS) at: http://www.regulations.gov. Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or comments, go to http//www.regulations.gov and/or Room W12-140 on the ground level of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. Privacy Act: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these comments, without edit, including any personal information the commenter provides, to http://www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at http://www.dot.gov/privacy. II. Background On November 17, 2016, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision to renew exemptions for 79 individuals from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) to operate a CMV in interstate commerce and requested comments from the public (81 FR 81230). The public comment period ended on December 19, 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)(10). The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically qualified to driver a CMV if that person: Has distant visual acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at least 70[deg] in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red, green, and amber. III. Discussion of Comments FMCSA received no comments in this preceding. VI. Conclusion As of September 9, 2016, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, the following 41 individuals have satisfied the conditions for obtaining a renewed exemption from the vision requirements (64 FR 68195; 65 FR 20251; 67 FR 38311; 67 FR 46016; 67 FR 57267; 67 FR 76439; 68 FR 10298; 69 FR 17263; 69 FR 26921; 69 FR 31447; 69 FR 51346; 70 FR 44946; 71 FR 14566; 71 FR 16410; 71 FR 27033; 71 FR 30227; 71 FR 32184; 71 FR 41311; 71 FR 50970; 72 FR 67340; 73 FR 1395; 73 FR 15567; 73 FR 15568; 73 FR 27014; 73 FR 27015; 73 FR 27017; 73 FR 28186; 73 FR 35197; 73 FR 35199; 73 FR 36955; 73 FR 38499; 73 FR 42403; 73 FR 48270; 73 FR 48273; 73 FR 48275; 74 FR 43217; 74 FR 57551; 75 FR 19674; 75 FR 25917; 75 FR 25919; 75 FR 27623; 75 FR 27624; 75 FR 34212; 75 FR 36779; 75 FR 38602; 75 FR 39729; 75 FR 44051; 75 FR 47888; 75 FR 50799; 76 FR 49528; 76 FR 61143; 76 FR 66123; 76 FR 67248; 76 FR 73769; 76 FR 79761; 77 FR 3547; 77 FR 23797; 77 FR 27847; 77 FR 36338; 77 FR 38384; 77 FR 38386; 77 FR 40945; 77 FR 40946; 77 FR 41879; 77 FR 46153; 77 FR 48590; 77 FR 52391; 78 FR 24798; 78 FR 46407; 78 FR 62935; 78 FR 63302; 78 FR 67454; 78 FR 67460; 78 FR 76395; 78 FR 76705; 78 FR 77780; 78 FR 77782; 79 FR 4803; 79 FR 10606; 79 FR 14331; 79 FR 14571; 79 FR 22003; 79 FR 23797; 79 FR 79 27681; 79 FR 28588; 79 FR 29495; 79 FR 35212; 79 FR 35218; 79 FR 35220; 79 FR 37842; 79 FR 38649; 79 FR 38659; 79 FR 41735; 79 FR 41737; 79 FR 45868; 79 FR 46153; 79 FR 47175; 79 FR 53514; 79 FR 56102): Don R.
