Medical Examiner's Certification Integration; Availability of Updated Privacy Impact Assessment

Summary: FMCSA announces the availability of the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the Medical Examiner's Certification Integration notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on May 10, 2013. Due to technical errors, the PIA was not posted to the docket until July 4, 2013, just a few days prior to the end of the public comment period. In addition, the PIA was not posted to the Department of Transportation's (DOT's) Privacy Web site until December 11, 2013. In an effort to provide the public with as much information as possible regarding the National Registry and the Medical Examiner's Certification Integration rulemaking, we are announcing the availability of the updated PIA and requesting comments from the public. Comments must be limited to possible impact of the rules proposed in the NPRM on the protection of privacy of information used in determining the physical qualifications of drivers of commercial motor vehicles.
