Proposed Rule: Physical Qualification of Drivers; Vision Standard


Federal Register: 70FR 51001
RIN: 2126-AA05
Docket #: FHWA-97-2267
(What is this?)
49 CFR Part: 391
 
Publication Date: 8/29/2005

Action:

Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM); withdrawal

Summary:

FMCSA (formerly the Federal Highway Administration's Office of Motor Carriers) withdraws its 1992 advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on the vision standard for commercial motor vehicle drivers in interstate commerce. The agency sought comment on whether it should revise its driver qualification requirements relating to the vision standard, including visual acuity, field of vision and color perception. After reviewing the public comments received in response to the ANPRM, the agency believes there is insufficient data to support moving forward with a proposal to change the vision standard at this time. FMCSA has long term plans to reevaluate all of its commercial driver health standards and guidelines and will review the current vision standard at that time.
