Title: Medical Certification Requirements as Part of the Commercial Driver's License  
Abstract: FMCSA would amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to require interstate commercial driver's license (CDL) holders subject to the physical qualification requirements of the FMCSRs to provide a current original or copy of their medical examiner's certificates to their State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA). The Agency would also require the SDLA to record on the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) driver record the self-certification the driver made regarding applicability of the Federal driver qualification rules and, for drivers subject to those requirements, the medical certification status information specified in the rulemaking. This action is required by section 215 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA).
