        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Drivers License Testing and Learners Permit Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish revisions to the commercial drivers license knowledge and skills testing standards as required by section 4019 of TEA-21 and new minimum Federal standards for States to issue commercial learners permits (CLPs) based in part on the requirements of section 4122 of SAFETEA-LU.  In addition to ensuring the applicant has the appropriate knowledge and skills to operate a commercial motor vehicle, this rule will establish the minimum information that must be on the CLP document and the electronic drivers record.  The rule will also establish maximum issuance and renewal periods, establish a minimum age limit, address issues related to a drivers State of Domicile, and incorporate previous regulatory guidance into the Federal regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>
