49 CFR Part 391

[Docket No. FMCSA-2025-0113]
RIN 2126-AC87


Qualifications of Drivers; Vision Standards Grandfathering 
Provision

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 
Regulations to remove the grandfathering provision under the physical 
qualifications standards for interstate drivers operating under the 
previously administered vision waiver study program, as this regulation 
is now obsolete. The waiver study program was terminated prior to the 
adoption of rules in 1998 implementing the Transportation Equity Act 
for the 21st Century provision concerning waivers, exemptions and pilot 
programs.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 29, 2025.

III. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(a) and 31502(b)--
delegated to the Agency by 49 CFR 1.87(f) and (i), respectively--to 
establish minimum qualifications, including physical qualifications, 
for individuals operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in 
interstate commerce. Section 31136(a)(3) requires specifically that the 
Agency's safety regulations ensure that the physical condition of CMV 
drivers is adequate to enable them to operate their vehicles safely and 
that certified medical examiners (MEs) trained in physical and medical 
examination standards perform the physical examinations required of 
such drivers.
    In addition to the statutory requirements specific to the physical 
qualifications of CMV drivers, section 31136(a) requires the Secretary 
of Transportation (Secretary) to issue regulations on CMV safety, 
including regulations to ensure that CMVs ``are maintained, equipped, 
loaded, and operated safely'' (section 31136(a)(1)). The remaining 
statutory factors and requirements in section 31136(a), to the extent 
they are relevant, are also satisfied here. The proposed rule would not 
impose any ``responsibilities . . . on operators of [CMVs that would] 
impair their ability to operate the vehicles safely'' (section 
31136(a)(2)), or ``have a deleterious effect on the physical 
condition'' of CMV drivers (section 31136(a)(4)). FMCSA also does not 
anticipate that drivers would be coerced to operate a vehicle because 
of this rulemaking (section 31136(a)(5)).
    Finally, prior to prescribing any regulations, FMCSA must consider 
their ``costs and benefits'' (49 U.S.C. 31136(c)(2)(A) and 31502(d)). 
Those factors are discussed in the Regulatory Analyses section of this 
NPRM.

IV. Background

    FMCSA's mission is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities 
involving large trucks and buses. As discussed above, FMCSA is 
authorized by statute to establish minimum physical qualification 
standards for drivers of CMVs operating in interstate commerce. 
Physical qualification requirements date back to 1937, as implemented 
by the ICC's Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety. (2 FR 113, Jan. 22, 1937). 
Regulations setting forth the physical qualification standards are 
currently found in 49 CFR part 391, with the vision requirements at 49 
CFR 391.41(b)(10).
    The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which administered the 
physical qualification standards for CMV drivers prior to the transfer 
of this function to FMCSA, revised the vision standard in 1970 (35 FR 
6458, 6463, Apr. 22, 1970). Although MEs who are knowledgeable about 
the on-the-job functions performed by a commercial driver make the 
determination about a driver's qualifications and whether the driver 
has a condition that would interfere with the operation of a CMV for 
most of the 13 physical qualification standards, FHWA's vision standard 
was absolute and provided no discretion to the ME. Thus, any individual 
who did not meet the vision standard in its entirety could not be 
physically qualified to drive a CMV in interstate commerce.
    In July 1992, FHWA announced its decision to issue waivers of the 
vision requirements and published the final criteria for the vision 
waiver study program (57 FR 31458, July 16, 1992). Under the vision 
waiver study program, FHWA issued waivers to drivers following an 
individual determination of each driver's capability to operate a CMV 
safely. On August 2, 1994, the United States Court of Appeals for the 
District of Columbia Circuit found that FHWA's determination that the 
vision waiver study program would not adversely affect the safe 
operation of CMVs lacked empirical support in the record (Advocates for 
Highway and Auto Safety v. FHWA, 28 F.3d 1288, 1294 (D.C. Cir. 1994)). 
Accordingly, the court found that FHWA failed to meet the exacting 
statutory requirements to grant a waiver. Consequently, the court 
concluded that FHWA's adoption of the waiver program was contrary to 
law and vacated and remanded the decision to FHWA.
    On November 17, 1994, FHWA published notice of its final 
determination to continue the vision waiver study program through March 
31, 1996, and announced a change in the research plan (59 FR 59386). On 
March 26, 1996, FHWA issued a rule to allow those drivers participating 
in the vision waiver study program and holding valid waivers from the 
vision standard to continue to operate in interstate commerce after 
March 31, 1996 (61 FR 13338). FHWA amended 49 CFR part 391 by adding a 
new provision at Sec.  391.64 to grant grandfather rights to these 
drivers, subject to certain conditions.
    Following the enactment of the Transportation Equity Act for the 
21st Century (TEA-21) (Pub. L. 105-178, 112 Stat. 107, 401, June 9, 
1998), which made amendments to the statutes governing exemptions, FHWA 
established a current Federal vision exemption program on December 8, 
1998 (63 FR 67600). FHWA, and later FMCSA, monitored the safety 
performance of drivers in the vision waiver study and the current 
exemption programs continuously. Based on the experience with the 
vision waiver study and exemption programs, FMCSA determined that the 
safety performance of individuals in these programs is at least as good 
as that of the general population of CMV drivers. Therefore, in 2022, 
FMCSA amended its regulations to permit an individual who does not 
satisfy, with the worse eye, either the existing distant visual acuity 
standard with corrective lenses or the field of vision standard, or 
both, to be physically qualified to operate a CMV in interstate 
commerce if the individual satisfies the new alternative vision 
standard found at Sec.  391.44, along with FMCSA's other physical 
qualification standards and other requirements. (87 FR 3390, Jan. 21, 
2022). The 2022 rule eliminated the need for both the vision exemption 
program that then existed and the grandfather provision in Sec.  391.64 
for drivers operating under the previously administered vision waiver 
study program.
    The grandfathering provision remained in effect until March 22, 
2023. After that date, all drivers were required meet the new 
alternative vision standard and all Medical Examiner Certificates, Form 
MCSA-5876, issued under Sec.  391.64 were voided. As the grandfathering 
provision no is longer applicable to any drivers, FMCSA has determined 
it should now be removed.

V. Discussion of Proposed Rulemaking

    FMCSA proposes to remove 49 CFR 391.64(b), which set out the 
requirements for participants in the vision waiver study program to 
remain grandfathered into that program until March 22, 2023. This 
change will not affect any current CMV drivers because,

[[Page 22913]]

under the 2022 final rule, all drivers have been required to satisfy 
the alternative vision standard set out at 49 CFR 391.44 since March 
22, 2023.
    While the 2022 final rule amended 49 CFR 391.64(b) to include the 
date the provisions of that paragraph would no longer be in effect, it 
did not contain any instructions for the removal of those provisions 
from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Thus, this proposed 
rulemaking would remove the obsolete language from FMCSA's regulations.

VI. International Impacts

    Motor carriers and drivers are subject to the laws and regulations 
of the countries that they operate in, unless an international 
agreement states otherwise. Drivers and carriers should be aware of the 
regulatory differences between nations.

VII. Section-by-Section Analysis

    This section-by-section analysis describes the proposed changes in 
numerical order.
    Section 391.64 Grandfathering for certain drivers who participated 
in a vision waiver study program.
    FMCSA would remove 49 CFR 391.64 (b). As paragraph (a) is currently 
reserved, the title of the section would be amended to indicate that 
the entire section is now reserved.

VIII. Regulatory Analyses

A. Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review), E.O. 
13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review), and DOT Regulatory 
Policies and Procedures

    FMCSA has considered the impact of this NPRM under E.O. 12866 (58 
FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993), Regulatory Planning and Review, E.O. 13563 (76 
FR 3821, Jan. 21, 2011), Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, 
and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures. The Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
determined that this NPRM is not a significant regulatory action under 
section 3(f) of E.O. 12866, as supplemented by E.O. 13563, and does not 
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 
6(a)(3) of that order. Accordingly, OMB has not reviewed it under that 
E.O.
    This proposed rule would remove obsolete language that is no longer 
relevant. FMCSA does not expect that any regulated entities would 
change their behavior as a result of this proposed rule, and therefore 
the proposed rule would not result in any impacts to regulated entities 
other than removing unnecessary language from the CFR. It could result 
in some cost savings by reducing the amount of time to become familiar 
with the regulations. FMCSA assumes any realized cost savings to be de 
minimis. FMCSA does not have data to estimate the reduction in costs 
that would result from this NPRM. FMCSA requests comment on any impacts 
that could result from removing the provisions identified in this NPRM.

B. E.O. 14192 (Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation)

    E.O. 14192 (90 FR 9065, Jan. 31, 2025), Unleashing Prosperity 
Through Deregulation, requires that for ``each new [E.O. 14192 
regulatory action] issued, at least ten prior regulations be identified 
for elimination.'' \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Executive Office of the President. Executive Order 14192 of 
January 31, 2025. Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation. 90 FR 
9065-9067. Feb. 6, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Implementation guidance for E.O. 14192 issued by OMB (Memorandum M-
25-20, Mar. 26, 2025) defines two different types of E.O. 14192 
actions: an E.O. 14192 deregulatory action, and an E.O. 14192 
regulatory action.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Executive Office of the President. Office of Management and 
Budget. Guidance Implementing Section 3 of Executive Order 14192, 
Titled ``Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation.'' Memorandum M-
25-20. March 26, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An E.O. 14192 deregulatory action is defined as ``an action that 
has been finalized and has total costs less than zero.'' This 
rulemaking is expected to have total costs less than zero as it is 
removing unnecessary language from and streamlining the CFR, and 
therefore would be considered an E.O. 14192 deregulatory action upon 
issuance of a final rule. The cost savings of this rulemaking could not 
be quantified.

C. Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(g), FMCSA is required to publish an advance 
notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) or proceed with a negotiated 
rulemaking, if a proposed safety rule ``under this part'' \3\ is likely 
to lead to the promulgation of a major rule.\4\ As this proposed rule 
is not likely to result in the promulgation of a major rule, the Agency 
is not required to issue an ANPRM or to proceed with a negotiated 
rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Part B of Subtitle VI of Title 49, United States Code, i.e., 
49 U.S.C. chapters 311-317.
    \4\ A major rule means any rule that the Office of Management 
and Budget finds has resulted in or is likely to result in (a) an 
annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; (b) a major 
increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, 
geographic regions, Federal, State, or local government agencies; or 
(c) significant adverse effects on competition, employment, 
investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United 
States-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises 
in domestic and export markets (5 U.S.C. 804(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), as amended 
by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,\5\ 
requires Federal agencies to consider the effects of the regulatory 
action on small business and other small entities and to minimize any 
significant economic impact. The term small entities comprises small 
businesses and not-for-profit organizations that are independently 
owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and 
governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000 (5 
U.S.C. 601(6)). Accordingly, DOT policy requires an analysis of the 
impact of all regulations on small entities, and mandates that agencies 
strive to lessen any adverse effects on these businesses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Public Law 104-121, 110 Stat. 857, (Mar. 29, 1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No regulatory flexibility analysis is required, however, if the 
head of an agency or an appropriate designee certifies that the rule 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. This proposed rule would remove obsolete regulatory 
text that is no longer impacting regulated entities and would not 
impose costs or benefits. Therefore, it would not impact a substantial 
number of small entities. It could result in some cost savings by 
reducing the amount of time necessary to become familiar with the 
regulations. FMCSA considers any realized cost savings to be de 
minimis. Consequently, I certify that the proposed action would not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.

E. Assistance for Small Entities

    In accordance with section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory 
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121, 110 Stat. 857), 
FMCSA wants to assist small entities in understanding this proposed 
rule so they can better evaluate its effects on themselves and 
participate in the rulemaking initiative. If the proposed rule would 
affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction 
and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for 
compliance, please consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal 
employees

[[Page 22914]]

who enforce or otherwise determine compliance with Federal regulations 
to the Small Business Administration's Small Business and Agriculture 
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman (Office of the National Ombudsman, see 
https://www.sba.gov/about-sba/oversight-advocacy/office-national-ombudsman) and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. 
The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's 
responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by 
employees of FMCSA, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). DOT has a 
policy regarding the rights of small entities to regulatory enforcement 
fairness and an explicit policy against retaliation for exercising 
these rights.

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) 
(UMRA) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their 
discretionary regulatory actions. The Act addresses actions that may 
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in 
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $206 million (which is the 
value equivalent of $100 million in 1995, adjusted for inflation to 
2024 levels) or more in any 1 year. Because this proposed rule would 
not result in such an expenditure, a written statement is not required.

G. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This proposed rule contains no new information collection 
requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

H. E.O. 13132 (Federalism)

    A rule has implications for federalism under section 1(a) of E.O. 
13132 if it has ``substantial direct effects on the States, on the 
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of 
government.''
    FMCSA has determined that this proposed rule would not have 
substantial direct costs on or for States, nor would it limit the 
policymaking discretion of States. Nothing in this document preempts 
any State law or regulation. Therefore, this proposed rule does not 
have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a 
Federalism Impact Statement.

I. Privacy

    The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005,\6\ requires the Agency 
to assess the privacy impact of a regulation that will affect the 
privacy of individuals. This NPRM would not require the collection of 
personally identifiable information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Public Law 108-447, 118 Stat. 2809, 3268, note following 5 
U.S.C. 552a (Dec. 4, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) applies only to Federal agencies 
and any non-Federal agency that receives records contained in a system 
of records from a Federal agency for use in a matching program.
    The E-Government Act of 2002,\7\ requires Federal agencies to 
conduct a PIA for new or substantially changed technology that 
collects, maintains, or disseminates information in an identifiable 
form. No new or substantially changed technology would collect, 
maintain, or disseminate information as a result of this proposed rule. 
Accordingly, FMCSA has not conducted a PIA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Public Law 107-347, sec. 208, 116 Stat. 2899, 2921 (Dec. 17, 
2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Agency will complete a Privacy Threshold 
Assessment (PTA) to evaluate the risks and effects the rulemaking might 
have on collecting, storing, and sharing personally identifiable 
information. The PTA will be submitted to FMCSA's Privacy Officer for 
review and preliminary adjudication and to DOT's Privacy Officer for 
review and final adjudication.

J. E.O. 13175 (Indian Tribal Governments)

    This proposed rule does not have Tribal implications under E.O. 
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, 
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more 
Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and 
Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.

K. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

    FMCSA analyzed this proposed rule pursuant to the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). This action 
would likely fall under a published categorical exclusion and thus be 
excluded from further analysis and documentation in an environmental 
assessment or environmental impact statement under FMCSA Order 5610.1 
(69 FR 9680), Appendix 2. Specifically, paragraphs (6)(b), which covers 
regulations that are procedural or technical in nature, and (6)(z)(1), 
which covers the minimum qualifications for persons who drive CMVs. The 
Agency also believes this proposed rule, if finalized, would not have a 
reasonably foreseeable significant effect on the quality of the human 
environment. The public is invited to comment on the impact of the 
proposed Agency action.

L. Rulemaking Summary

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(4), a summary of this proposed 
rule may be found at regulations.gov, under the docket number.
