| 2021-17850 | Medical Review Board Task 21-1 Report: FMCSA Proposed Alternative Vision Standard | Proposed Rule | In January 2021, FMCSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend its regulations to permit individuals who cannot meet either the current distant visual acuity or field of vision standard, or both, in one eye to be physically qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate commerce. The comment period closed on March 15, 2021. The Agency received 69 comments. In May 2021, FMCSA requested, in part, that FMCSA's Medical Review Board (MRB) review and analyze the comments from medical professionals and associations and make recommendations regarding the proposed alternative vision standard for FMCSA to consider. The Agency announces the availability of the MRB's report and requests comments on the MRB's recommendations. MRB Task 21-1 Report is available in Docket Number FMCSA-2019-0049. | 2021-08-24 | 2021 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/08/24/2021-17850/medical-review-board-task-21-1-report-fmcsa-proposed-alternative-vision-standard | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-08-24/pdf/2021-17850.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | In January 2021, FMCSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend its regulations to permit individuals who cannot meet either the current distant visual acuity or field of vision standard, or both, in one eye to be physically qualified... |
