from the requirement that interstate CMV drivers have ``no established
medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other

ability to control a CMV.'' If granted, the

exemptions would enable these individuals who have had one or more
seizures and are taking anti-seizure medication to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce. The name of an individual listed in the notice is
misspelled. Through this notice, FMCSA corrects the error in the
spelling of their name.

Issued under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.87.
