Notice of provisional renewal of exemption; request for comments.
Summary
FMCSA announces its decision to provisionally renew an exemption for truck and bus drivers who are licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia and need a Skill Performance Evaluation (SPE) Certificate to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMV) in interstate commerce. The exemption enables interstate CMV drivers who are licensed in Virginia and are subject to the Federal SPE certificate requirements to continue to fulfill the Federal requirements with a State-issued SPE certificate that qualifies such drivers to operate CMVs in interstate commerce. The provisional exemption renewal is limited to six months. After a review of the public comments to this notice, FMCSA will issue a decision on whether the exemption should be renewed through July 3030.
