Seizure Disorders; Correction
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of final disposition; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FMCSA corrects its November 19, 2024, notice of final
disposition granting exemptions for 11 individuals from the Agency's
requirement interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers have ``no
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 CMV.'' The expiration date for the
exemptions was incorrectly published as November 13, 2024. The correct
expiration date is November 13, 2026.
DATES: This correction is effective December 6, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 19, 2024 (89 FR 91479), FMCSA
published a notice of final disposition in which the Agency announced
its decision to exempt 11 individuals from the requirement that
interstate CMV drivers have ``no 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
CMV.'' The exemptions enable these individuals who have had one or more
seizures and are taking anti-seizure medication to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce, provided certain conditions are satisfied. The
notice incorrectly indicated that the expiration date of the exemptions
is November 13, 2024. Through this notice, FMCSA corrects the
expiration date.
In FR Doc. 2024-26972 appearing on page 91479 in the Federal
Register of November 19, 2024, the following correction is made:
1. On page 91479, in the third column, under the dates section,
``The exemptions expire on November 13, 2024.'' is corrected to read
``The exemptions expire on November 13, 2026.''
Issued under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.87.
Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy.
