[Docket No. FMCSA-2015-0394]
Driver Qualification Files: Application for Exemption; Atlantic
and Pacific Freightways, Inc.
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of application for exemption.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has accepted the request of Atlantic
and Pacific Freightways, Inc. (A&P) to withdraw its application for
exemption from the Agency's regulation requiring motor carriers to
obtain updated medical certification information when a driver holding
a commercial driver's license (CDL) undergoes a new driver medical
examination (49 CFR 391.51(b)(7)(ii)). A&P no longer needs the
exemption.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert F. Schultz, Driver and
Carrier Operations Division; Office of Carrier, Driver and Vehicle
Safety Standards; Telephone: 202-366-4325, Email: [email protected],
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue
SE., Washington, DC 20590-0001.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Applicant A&P is a Vancouver, Washington motor carrier that employs
CDL-drivers to transport goods in interstate commerce. A&P applied for
exemption from 49 CFR 391.51(b)(7)(ii) because it was experiencing
difficulty obtaining updated medical certification information on its
CDL drivers as required by the regulation. On November 27, 2015, FMCSA
published a Federal Register notice of A&P's application for exemption
and asked for public comment (80 FR 74202). No comments were received.
On January 28, 2016, A&P asked to withdraw its application for
exemption because it is now able to receive all the information
required by 49 CFR 391.51(b)(7)(ii). The Agency accordingly accepts
A&P's request to withdraw its application and closes the docket of this
matter.
Issued on: February 26, 2016.
Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy.
