Commercial Driver's License: James D. Welch; Application for Exemption

Notice of final disposition; grant of application for exemption for the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command, Air Reserve Technicians.

FMCSA announces its decision to grant James D. Welch's application for an exemption on behalf of Air Reserve Technicians (ARTs) working under the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) from the requirement to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). The Agency has considered the training these individuals must complete on the operation of the U.S. Air Force's CMVs and determined that the terms and conditions of the exemption will likely achieve an equivalent level of safety as would be achieved absent the exemption.
