Action:Final rule.
Summary:
FMCSA establishes a National
Registry of Certified Medical Examiners
(National Registry) with requirements
that all medical examiners who conduct
physical examinations for interstate
commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers meet the following criteria:
Complete certain training concerning
FMCSA's physical qualification
standards, pass a test to verify an
understanding of those standards, and
maintain and demonstrate competence
through periodic training and testing.
Following establishment of the National Registry and a transition period, FMCSA
will require that motor carriers and
drivers use only those medical
examiners on the Agency's National
Registry and will only accept as valid
medical examiner's certificates issued
by medical examiners listed on the
National Registry. FMCSA is developing
the National Registry program to
improve highway safety and driver
health by requiring that medical
examiners be trained and certified so
they can determine effectively whether
a CMV driver's medical fitness for duty
meets FMCSA's standards.
