(c) Safety performance of that specific industry (e.g., accident frequency, rates and comparative figures). (d) Inspection information (e.g., number of violations per inspection, driver and vehicle out-of-service information). (e) Other CMV safety regulations enforced by other State agencies not participating in the MCSAP. (f) Commodity transported (e.g., livestock, grain). (g) Similar variations granted and the circumstances under which they were granted.(h) Justification for the exemption.(i) Identifiable effects on safety.(j) State's economic environment and its ability to compete in foreign and domestic markets.
