Title: ●National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners | |
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish training, testing, and certification standards for medical examiners responsible for certifying that interstate commercial motor vehicle drivers meet the applicable physical qualifications standards; provide a database (or National Registry) of medical examiners that meet the prescribed standards for use by motor carriers, drivers, and Federal and State enforcement personnel to use in determining whether a medical examiner is qualified to conduct examinations of interstate truck and bus drivers; require medical examiners to transmit electronically to FMCSA the name of drivers and a numerical identifier for each driver that is examined; and require medical examiners to transmit electronically the medical certificate for each CDL-holder that operates in interstate commerce to the State that issued the CDL. The rulemaking would also establish the process by which medical examiners that fail to meet or maintain the minimum standards would be removed from the National Registry. This action is in response to section 4116 of SAFETEA-LU. | |
