Title: ●Evaluation of Safety-Sensitive Personnel for Moderate-to-Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea 
Abstract:

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) request data and information concerning the prevalence of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea OSA among individuals occupying safety sensitive positions in rail and highway transportation. FMCSA and FRA also request information about the potential economic impact and safety benefits associated with regulatory actions that address the safety risks associated with transportation workers in these positions who have OSA, such as requiring workers who exhibit multiple risk factors for OSA to undergo evaluation by a healthcare professional with expertise in sleep disorders, and subsequent treatment.
