Notice of application for exemption; request for comments.
Summary
FMCSA announces that William Cole, Safety Coordinator for the Montana Trucking Association, has requested an exemption from the entry-level driver training (ELDT) regulations requirement that classroom or theory instructors for individuals seeking the hazardous materials (HM) endorsement have at least two years of driving experience of the same or higher class and/or the same endorsement level as the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) for which training is to be provided. Mr. Cole believes his knowledge and experience concerning the HM safety regulations and the transportation of such materials on CMVs enable him to provide the theory training for individuals seeking an HM endorsement. FMCSA requests public comment on the applicant's request for an exemption.
