FMCSA requests public comment on Jenifer Sanchez Vilchis's application for an exemption to permit Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients with valid Employment Authorization Documents to obtain and hold a Class B passenger-vehicle Commercial Driver's License (CDL) under the same conditions as other lawfully work-authorized individuals. Ms. Sanchez Vilchis requests an immediate, temporary exemption to allow States to issue Class B CDLs to DACA holders.
