| 2019-26942 | National Association of the Deaf Petition for Rulemaking; Hearing Requirement for Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers | Proposed Rule | FMCSA requests public comments on the National Association of the Deaf's (NAD) petition for rulemaking to rescind the requirement for interstate drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to be able to hear. NAD also requests that FMCSA amend the requirement that interstate drivers be able to speak, and the rule prohibiting the use of interpreters during the administration of the commercial driver's license (CDL) skills test. NAD believes the origins of the hearing requirement dates to a time of misguided stereotypes about the abilities and inabilities of deaf and hard of hearing individuals and the rules should now be changed. | 2019-12-16 | 2019 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/16/2019-26942/national-association-of-the-deaf-petition-for-rulemaking-hearing-requirement-for-commercial-motor | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-12-16/pdf/2019-26942.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA requests public comments on the National Association of the Deaf's (NAD) petition for rulemaking to rescind the requirement for interstate drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to be able to hear.
