RIN: 2126-AC69

Publication ID: Spring 2024

Title: Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Qualifications; Seizure Standard
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) to update the physical qualification standards for individuals with an established medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to control a commercial motor vehicle. As part of the Agency's ongoing regulatory reform efforts, FMCSA proposes to reduce the burden on individuals who have experienced a seizure, or who have been prescribed antiseizure medication provided certain criteria are satisfied. The criteria would mirror those used for the Agency's Seizure Exemption Program, including a requirement for the drivers to obtain documentation from the treating neurologist that the individual has been seizure free for a period of several years.
