Proposed Rule: Medical Certification Requirements as Part of the CDL


Federal Register: 71FR 66723
RIN: 2126-AA10
Docket #: FMCSA-1997-2210
(What is this?)
49 CFR Part: 383, 384, 390, 391
 
Publication Date: 11/16/2006
Comment By Date: 2/14/2007

Action:

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); request for comments

Summary:

FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to merge information from the medical certificate into the Commercial Driver's License (CDL) process as required by section 215 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA). This NPRM would implement section 215 by requiring interstate CDL holders subject to the physical qualification requirements of the FMCSRs to provide a current original or copy of their medical examiner's certificates to their State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA). It would also require the SDLA to record on the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) driver record the certification the driver made regarding applicability of 49 CFR part 391, and, for drivers subject to part 391, the medical status information proposed in this NPRM.
