[Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0032]

Commercial Driver's License Standards: Application for Exemption;
Daimler Trucks North America (Daimler)

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that Daimler Trucks North America (Daimler)
has requested an exemption for one commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
driver from the Federal requirement to hold a commercial driver's
license (CDL). Daimler requests the exemption for Dr. Wolfgang
Bernhard, head of the Daimler Trucks and Bus Division, who will test
drive CMVs for Daimler within the United States. Dr. Bernhard holds a
valid German CDL and wants to test drive

Daimler vehicles on U.S. roads to better understand product
requirements in ``real world'' environments, and verify results.
Daimler believes the requirements for a German CDL ensure that
operation under the exemption will likely achieve a level of safety
equivalent to or greater than the level that would be obtained in the
absence of the exemption.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 1, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by Federal Docket

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Richard Clemente, FMCSA Driver and

Safety Standards; Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>. Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to grant
exemptions from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. FMCSA
must publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal Register
(49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public an opportunity
to inspect the information relevant to the application, including any
safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency must also provide
an opportunity for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments, and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The decision of
the Agency must be published in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)) with the reason for the grant or denial, and, if granted,
the specific person or class of persons receiving the exemption, and
the regulatory provision or provisions from which exemption is granted.
The notice must also specify the effective period of the exemption (up
to 2 years), and explain the terms and conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

Request for Exemption

    Daimler has applied for an exemption for the head of its Truck and
Bus Division from 49 CFR 383.23, which prescribes licensing
requirements for drivers operating CMVs in interstate or intrastate
commerce. Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard is unable to obtain a CDL in any of the
U.S. States due to his lack of residency in the United States. A copy
of the application is in Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0032.
    The exemption would allow Dr. Bernhard to operate CMVs in
interstate or intrastate commerce to support Daimler field tests
designed to meet future vehicle safety and environmental requirements
and to promote technological advancements in vehicle safety systems and
emissions reductions. Dr. Bernhard needs to drive Daimler vehicles on
public roads to better understand ``real world'' environments in the
U.S. market. According to Daimler, Dr. Bernhard will typically drive
for no more than 6 hours per day for 2 consecutive days, and that 10
percent of the test driving will be on two-lane state highways, while
90 percent will be on interstate highways. The driving will consist of
no more than 200 miles per day, for a total of 400 miles during a two-
day period on a quarterly basis. He will in all cases be accompanied by
a holder of a U.S. CDL who is familiar with the routes to be traveled.
    In the May 12, 2012, Federal Register (77 FR 31422), FMCSA granted
Daimler a similar exemption for two of its test drivers. Each
individual held a valid German CDL but lacked the U.S. residency
necessary to obtain a CDL. FMCSA has concluded that the process for
obtaining a German CDL is comparable to or as effective as the U.S. CDL
requirements and ensures that these drivers will likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
obtained in the absence of the exemption.
    Daimler requests that the exemption cover a two-year period. Dr.
Bernhard holds a valid German CDL, and as explained by Daimler in its
exemption request, the requirements for that license ensure that the
same level of safety is met or exceeded as if this driver had a U.S.
CDL. Furthermore, according to Daimler, Dr. Bernhard is familiar with
the operation of CMVs worldwide.
    FMCSA has determined that the process for obtaining a German-issued
CDL is comparable to, or as effective as the Federal requirements of 49
CFR Part 383, and adequately assesses a driver's ability to operate
CMVs in the United States.

Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) and 31136(e), FMCSA
requests public comment on Daimler's application for an exemption from
the CDL requirements of 49 CFR 383.23. The Agency will consider all
comments received by close of business on August 1, 2014. Comments will
be available for examination in the docket at the location listed under
the ADDRESSES section of this notice.

    Dated: June 25, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a 2-year period
if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption.'' FMCSA can renew exemptions at the end of each
2-year period. The 36 individuals listed in this notice have each
requested such an exemption from the vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce.
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting an

exemption will achieve the required level of safety mandated by
statute.

II. Qualifications of Applicants
