Docket #: FMCSA-2013-0097
(What is this?)
49 CFR Part: 381
 
Publication Date: 12/18/2013

Action:

Proposed change to criteria; request for comments.

Summary:

FMCSA proposes changes to the eligibility requirements for the Agency's Vision Exemption Program. Obtaining an exemption enables an individual to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce without satisfying all of the prescribed vision standards. The Agency has determined that these proposed changes in the eligibility criteria and conditions for the Vision Exemption Program will continue to ensure a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety maintained under the existing criteria.
