Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
[Docket No. FMCSA-2013-0442]
Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders; Correction
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of correction; reopening of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FMCSA corrects its August 7, 2024, notice requesting comments
on its decision to renew exemptions for seven individuals from the
requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs)
that interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers have ``no
established medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any
other condition which is likely to cause loss of consciousness or any
loss of ability to control a CMV'' to correctly list the docket number
that one individual was included in. The exemptions enable these
individuals who have had one or more seizures and are taking anti-
seizure medication to continue to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
The Agency also reopens the public comment period for that notice.
DATES: The comment period for the notice published August 7, 2024, at
89 FR 64532, is reopened. Comments must be received on or before
December 16, 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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 7, 2024, FMCSA published a notice
of renewal of exemptions (89 FR 64532), which FMCSA announced its
decision to renew exemptions for seven individuals from the requirement
in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) that
interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers have ``no established
medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other
condition which is likely to cause loss of consciousness or any loss of
ability to control a CMV.'' The notice inadvertently published the
incorrect docket number for the renewal applicant, Raymond Lobo (NJ).
Through this notice, FMCSA corrects the August 7, 2024, notice of
renewal of exemptions by correctly indicating the complete docket
number.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The published version of the original notice is included in
the docket for this correction.

In FR Doc. 2024-17422, starting on page 64532 in the Federal
Register of August 7, 2024, ``FMCSA-2013-044'' is corrected to read
``FMCSA-2013-0442'' wherever it appears in the document.
FMCSA corrects the notice and reopens the comment period to ensure
that interested parties have sufficient time to review and comment on
the renewal of exemptions.
