2126-AC98 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2126 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration FMCSA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Restoring Integrity to the Issuance of Non-Domiciled Commercial Drivers Licenses (NDCDL)

FMCSA amends the Federal regulations for State Driver’s Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) issuing commercial driving credentials to foreign-domiciled individuals. Through this rulemaking, the Agency restores the integrity of the commercial driver’s license (CDL) issuance processes by significantly limiting the authority for SDLAs to issue and renew non-domiciled commercial learner’s permits (CLPs) and CDLs to individuals domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction. This change strengthens the security of the CDL issuance process and enhances the safety of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations.
