II. Background

    On June 6, 2017, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision 
to renew exemptions for 134 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 (82 FR 
26222). The public comment period ended on July 6, 2017 and one comment 
was 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 one comment in this preceding. Irenee Muluh stated 
that she is in favor of renewing the exemptions for all 134 drivers in 
this notice if they have remained compliant with the standards of the 
program.

IV. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 134 renewal exemption applications 
and comments 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):
