        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would build upon the National Registry (2126-AA97) and Medical Certification (2126-AA10) final rules.  This rulemaking proposes to (1) require certified medical examiners (MEs) performing physical examinations on drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) to use a newly developed Medical Examination Report (MER) Form; (2) require MEs to use a prescribed form for the medical examiner's certificate; (3) require MEs to report results of all completed commercial drivers' physical examinations (including the results of examinations where the driver was found not to be qualified) to FMCSA by close of business on the day of the examination; (4) transmit information from the Medical Examiner's Certificate electronically from the National Registry system to the State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs);(5) transmit to the SDLAs information about Medical Examiner's Certificates that have been invalidated because a subsequent examination has found that the driver is not physically qualified; and (6) require the Agency to transmit medical variance information for such drivers electronically to the SDLAs.]]></ABSTRACT>
