On August 7, 2024, FMCSA published a notice of renewal of exemptions (89 FR 64532), which FMCSA announced its decision to renew exemptions for seven individuals from the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers have “no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV.” The notice inadvertently published the incorrect docket number for the renewal applicant, Raymond Lobo (NJ). Through this notice, FMCSA corrects the August 7, 2024, notice of renewal of exemptions by correctly indicating the complete docket number.
