DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2024-0021]


Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and 
Seizure Disorders; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department 
of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of applications for exemption; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In a notice of applications for exemption published in the 
Federal Register on May 13, 2024, FMCSA announced its decision to renew 
exemptions for 12 individuals from the prohibition in the Federal Motor 
Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) against persons with a clinical 
diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a 
loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to control a commercial 
motor vehicle (CMV) to drive in interstate commerce. If granted, the 
exemptions would enable these individuals who have had one or more 
seizures and are taking anti-seizure medication to operate CMVs in 
interstate commerce. The notice inadvertently published an individual's 
medical diagnosis incorrectly. This notice corrects that error.

DATES: This correction is effective May 13, 2024. Comments on the 
notice must still be received on or before June 12, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief, 
Medical Programs Division, FMCSA, DOT, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Room 
W64-224, Washington, DC 20590-0001, (202) 366-4001, 
[email protected]. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET 
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. If you have questions 
regarding viewing materials in the docket, contact Dockets Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 13, 2024, FMCSA published a notice of 
applications for exemption (88 FR 41489) with an effective date of May 
13, 2024, in which FMCSA announces receipt of applications from 12 
individuals for an exemption from the prohibition in the Federal Motor 
Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) against persons with a clinical 
diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a 
loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to control a commercial 
motor vehicle (CMV) to drive in interstate commerce. The notice 
inadvertently published Donald Gloy's medical diagnosis incorrectly. 
Through this notice, FMCSA corrects the May 13, 2024, applications for 
exemption by correctly indicating Donald Gloy's medical diagnosis.\1\

    In FR Doc. 2024-10271 appearing on page 41489 in the Federal 
Register of May 13, 2024, the following correction is made:
    1. On page 41490, in the third column, under Donald Gloy's

generalized epilepsy and have been seizure free since 2019'' is 
corrected to read ``They had a single provoked seizure in November 2018 
and have been seizure free since.''
    Issued under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.87.
