ACTION: Notice of final disposition. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions for 113 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 were applicable 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, fmcsamedical@dot.gov, 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 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 [[Page 24569]] 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 February 15, 2018, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision to renew exemptions for 113 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 (83 FR 6922). The public comment period ended on March 19, 2018, 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 drive 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. IV. Conclusion Based upon its evaluation of the 113 renewal exemption applications and comments received, FMCSA confirms its' decision to exempt the following drivers from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41 (b)(10): In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, the following groups of drivers received renewed exemptions in the month of January and are discussed below: As of January 3, 2018, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, the following 56 individuals have satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision requirement in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (57 FR 57266; 63 FR 66226; 64 FR 16517; 64 FR 40404; 64 FR 54948; 64 FR 66962; 65 FR 159; 65 FR 57230; 66 FR 41656; 66 FR 53826; 66 FR 66966; 66 FR 66969; 67 FR 17102; 68 FR 52811; 68 FR 54775; 68 FR 61860; 68 FR 69432; 68 FR 69434; 69 FR 51346; 69 FR 62741; 70 FR 48797; 70 FR 50799; 70 FR 53412; 70 FR 57353; 70 FR 61165; 70 FR 61493; 70 FR 72689; 70 FR 74102; 71 FR 14566; 71 FR 30227; 71 FR 50970; 71 FR 62147; 71 FR 644; 72 FR 39879; 72 FR 46261; 72 FR 52419; 72 FR 52421; 72 FR 54971; 72 FR 54972; 72 FR 58362; 72 FR 62896; 72 FR 62897; 72 FR 64273; 72 FR 67344; 72 FR 71995; 73 FR 20245; 73 FR 27014; 73 FR 48269; 73 FR 75806; 74 FR 26461; 74 FR 34630; 74 FR 41971; 74 FR 43221; 74 FR 43223; 74 FR 49069; 74 FR 57553; 74 FR 60021; 74 FR 62632; 74 FR 65847; 75 FR 50799; 75 FR 8184; 76 FR 37168; 76 FR 53708; 76 FR 54530; 76 FR 55465; 76 FR 55469; 76 FR 62143; 76 FR 64169; 76 FR 67246; 76 FR 70210; 76 FR 70212; 76 FR 70215; 76 FR 75942; 76 FR 75943; 76 FR 79760; 76 FR 8809; 77 FR 17108; 78 FR 18667; 78 FR 34143; 78 FR 47818; 78 FR 51268; 78 FR 52602; 78 FR 62935; 78 FR 63302; 78 FR 63307; 78 FR 64274; 78 FR 64280; 78 FR 65032; 78 FR 66099; 78 FR 67452; 78 FR 76395; 78 FR 76705; 78 FR 77778; 78 FR 77780; 78 FR 77782; 78 FR 78477; 80 FR 16500; 80 FR 31636; 80 FR 37718; 80 FR 48413; 80 FR 50917; 80 FR 59225; 80 FR 59230; 80 FR 63829; 80 FR 63869; 80 FR 67472; 80 FR 67476; 80 FR 67481; 80 FR 70060; 80 FR 80443; 81 FR 11642; 81 FR 1284; 81 FR 15401; 81 FR 15404; 81 FR 16265): Juan A.
