submit to the Administrator a plan to implement and enforce the
emission guidelines.
* * * * *
    (c) State plans that specify measurable and enforceable incremental
steps of progress towards compliance for designated facilities planning
to install the necessary air pollution control equipment may allow
compliance on or before the date 3 years after EPA approval of the
State plan (but not later than 5 years after the date of promulgation
of this subpart). Suggested measurable and enforceable activities to be
included in State plans are:
* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (3) If an extension is granted, require compliance with the
emission guidelines on or before the date 3 years after EPA approval of
the State plan (but not later than 5 years after the date of
promulgation of this subpart).
* * * * *
    (f) The Administrator shall develop, implement, and enforce a plan
for existing HMIWI located in any State that has not submitted an
approvable plan within 2 years after the date of promulgation of this

under 40 CFR part 70 in the State in which the unit is located,
whichever date is later, affected facilities subject to this subpart
shall operate pursuant to a permit issued under the EPA approved State
operating permit program.
    11. Section 60.51c is amended by adding a definition for ``Bag leak
detection system'' in alphabetical order and revising the definition
for ``Minimum secondary chamber temperature'' to read as follows:

Sec.  60.51c  Definitions.

    Bag leak detection system means an instrument that is capable of
monitoring PM loadings in the exhaust of a fabric filter in order to
detect bag failures. A bag leak detection system includes, but is not
limited to, an instrument that operates on triboelectric, light-
scattering, light-transmittance, or other effects to monitor relative
PM loadings.
* * * * *
    Minimum secondary chamber temperature means 90 percent of the
highest 3-hour average secondary chamber temperature (taken, at a
minimum, once every minute) measured during the most recent performance
test demonstrating compliance with the PM, CO, and dioxin/furan
emission limits.
* * * * *
    12. Section 60.52c is amended by revising paragraph (c) to read as
follows:

Sec.  60.52c  Emission limits.

* * * * *
    (c) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is
completed or is required to be completed under Sec.  60.8, whichever
date comes first, no owner or operator of an affected facility shall
cause to be discharged into the atmosphere visible emissions of
combustion ash from an ash conveying system (including conveyor
transfer points) in excess of 5 percent of the observation period
(i.e., 9 minutes per 3-hour period), as determined by EPA Reference
Method 22 of appendix A of this part, except as provided in paragraphs
(d) and (e) of this section.
* * * * *
    13. Section 60.56c is amended as follows:
    a. By revising paragraph (b) introductory text;
    b. By revising paragraphs (b)(4) and (b)(6) through (b)(8), (b)(9)

    i. By adding paragraphs (g)(6) through (9); and
    j. By adding paragraph (k).

Sec.  60.56c  Compliance and performance testing.

* * * * *
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (k) of this section, the owner
or operator of an affected facility shall conduct an initial
performance test as required under Sec.  60.8 to determine compliance
with the emission limits using the procedures and test methods listed
in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(12) of this section. The use of the
bypass stack during a performance test shall invalidate the performance
test.
* * * * *
    (4) EPA Reference Method 3, 3A, or 3B of appendix A of this part
shall be used for gas composition analysis, including measurement of
oxygen concentration. EPA Reference Method 3, 3A, or 3B of appendix A
of this part shall be used simultaneously with each of the other EPA
reference methods. As an alternative, ASME PTC-19-10-1981-Part 10 may
be used.
* * * * *
    (6) EPA Reference Method 5 or 29 of appendix A of this part shall
be used to measure the particulate matter emissions. As an alternative,
PM CEMS may be used as specified in paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
    (7) EPA Reference Method 9 of appendix A of this part shall be used
to measure stack opacity. As an alternative, demonstration of
compliance with the PM standards using bag leak detection systems as
specified in Sec.  60.57c(g) or PM CEMS as specified in paragraph
(c)(4) of this section is considered demonstrative of compliance with
the opacity requirements.
    (8) For affected facilities under Sec.  60.50c(a)(1) and (a)(2),
EPA Reference Method 10 or 10B of appendix A of this part shall be used
to measure the CO emissions. As an alternative, CO CEMS may be used as
specified in paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
    (9) EPA Reference Method 23 of appendix A of this part shall be
used to

measure total dioxin/furan emissions. As an alternative, an owner or
operator may elect to sample dioxins/furans by installing, calibrating,
maintaining, and operating a continuous automated sampling system for
monitoring dioxin/furan emissions as specified in paragraph (c)(6) of
this section. For Method 23 sampling, the minimum sample time shall be
4 hours per test run. If the affected facility has selected the toxic
equivalency standards for dioxins/furans, under Sec.  60.52c, the
following procedures shall be used to determine compliance:
* * * * *
    (10) EPA Reference Method 26 or 26A of appendix A of this part
shall be used to measure HCl emissions, with the additional
requirements for Method 26A specified in paragraphs (b)(10)(i) through
(iii) of this section. As an alternative, HCl CEMS may be used as
specified in paragraph (c)(4) of this section. If the affected facility
has selected the percentage reduction standards for HCl under Sec.
60.52c, the percentage reduction in HCl emission (%RHCl) is
computed using the following formula:

(%RHCl) = (Ei-Eo)/Ei x 100

Where:

%RHCl=percentage reduction of HCl emissions achieved;
Ei=HCl emission concentration measured at the control
device inlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis); and
Eo=HCl emission concentration measured at the control
device outlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis).

    (i) The probe and filter shall be conditioned prior to sampling
using the procedure described in paragraphs (b)(10)(i)(A) through (C)
of this section.
    (A) Assemble the sampling train(s) and conduct a conditioning run
by collecting between 14 liters per minute (L/min)--(0.5 cubic feet per
minute (ft \3\/min)) and 30 L/min (1.0 ft \3\/min) of gas over a 1-hour
period. Follow the sampling procedures outlined in section 8.1.5 of
Method 26A of appendix A of this part. For the conditioning run, water
may be used as the impinger solution.
    (B) Remove the impingers from the sampling train and replace with a
fresh impinger train for the sampling run, leaving the probe and filter
(and cyclone, if used) in position. Do not recover the filter or rinse
the probe before the first run. Thoroughly rinse the impingers used in
the preconditioning run with deionized water and discard these rinses.
    (C) The probe and filter assembly shall be conditioned by the stack
gas and shall not be recovered or cleaned until the end of testing.
    (ii) For the duration of sampling, a temperature around the probe
and filter (and cyclone, if used) between 120 [deg]C (248 [deg]F) and
134 [deg]C (273 [deg]F) shall be maintained.
    (iii) If water droplets are present in the sample gas stream, the
requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(10)(iii)(A) and (B) of this
section shall be met.
    (A) The cyclone described in section 6.1.4 of EPA Reference Method
26A of appendix A of this part shall be used.
    (B) The post-test moisture removal procedure described in section
8.1.6 of EPA Reference Method 26A of appendix A of this part shall be
used.
    (11) EPA Reference Method 29 of appendix A of this part shall be
used to measure Pb, Cd, and Hg emissions. As an alternative, Hg
emissions may be measured using ASTM D6784-02. As an alternative for
Pb, Cd, and Hg, multi-metals CEMS, or Hg CEMS, may be used as specified
in paragraph (c)(4) of this section. If the affected facility has
selected the percentage reduction standards for metals under Sec.
60.52c, the percentage reduction in emissions (%Rmetal) is
computed using the following formula:

(%Rmetal) = (Ei-Eo)/Ei x
100

Where:

%Rmetal=percentage reduction of metal emission (Pb, Cd,
or Hg) achieved;
Ei=metal emission concentration (Pb, Cd, or Hg) measured
at the control device inlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry
basis); and
Eo=metal emission concentration (Pb, Cd, or Hg) measured
at the control device outlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry
basis).
* * * * *
    (c) * * *
    (2) Except as provided in paragraphs (c)(4) and (c)(5) of this
section, determine compliance with the PM, CO, and HCl emission limits
by conducting an annual performance test (no more than 12 months
following the previous performance test) using the applicable
procedures and test methods listed in paragraph (b) of this section. If
all three performance tests over a 3-year period indicate compliance
with the emission limit for a pollutant (PM, CO, or HCl), the owner or
operator may forego a performance test for that pollutant for the
subsequent 2 years. At a minimum, a performance test for PM, CO, and
HCl shall be conducted every third year (no more than 36 months
following the previous performance test). If a performance test
conducted every third year indicates compliance with the emission limit
for a pollutant (PM, CO, or HCl), the owner or operator may forego a
performance test for that pollutant for an additional 2 years. If any
performance test indicates noncompliance with the respective emission
limit, a performance test for that pollutant shall be conducted
annually until all annual performance tests over a 3-year period
indicate compliance with the emission limit. The use of the bypass
stack during a performance test shall invalidate the performance test.
    (3) For large HMIWI under Sec.  60.50c(a)(1) and (a)(2) and for all
HMIWI under Sec.  60.50c(a)(3) and (a)(4), determine compliance with
the visible emission limits for fugitive emissions from flyash/bottom
ash storage and handling by conducting a performance test using EPA
Reference Method 22 on an annual basis (no more than 12 months
following the previous performance test).
    (4) Facilities using optional CEMS to demonstrate compliance with
the PM, CO, HCl, Pb, Cd, and/or Hg emission limits under Sec.  60.52c
shall:
    (i) Determine compliance with the appropriate emission limit(s)
using a 24-hour block average, calculated as specified in section
12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 of appendix A of this part.
    (ii) Operate all CEMS in accordance with the applicable procedures
under appendices B and F of this part. For those CEMS for which
performance specifications have not yet been promulgated (HCl, multi-
metals), this option takes effect on the date a final performance
specification is published in the Federal Register or the date of
approval of a site-specific monitoring plan.
    (iii) Be allowed to substitute use of an HCl CEMS for the HCl
annual performance test, minimum HCl sorbent flow rate, and minimum
scrubber liquor pH to demonstrate compliance with the HCl emission
limit.
    (iv) Be allowed to substitute use of a PM CEMS for the PM annual
performance test and minimum pressure drop across the wet scrubber, if
applicable, to demonstrate compliance with the PM emission limit.
    (v) Be allowed to substitute use of a CO CEMS for the CO annual
performance test and minimum secondary chamber temperature to
demonstrate compliance with the CO emission limit.
    (5) For affected facilities under Sec.  60.50c(a)(3) and (a)(4),
determine compliance with the CO emission limit using a CO CEMS
according to paragraphs (c)(5)(i) and (c)(5)(ii) of this section:

    (i) Determine compliance with the CO emission limit using a 24-hour
block average, calculated as specified in section 12.4.1 of EPA
Reference Method 19 of appendix A of this part.
    (ii) Operate the CO CEMS in accordance with the applicable
procedures under appendices B and F of this part.
    (iii) Use of a CO CEMS may be substituted for the CO annual
performance test and minimum secondary chamber temperature to
demonstrate compliance with the CO emission limit.
    (6) Facilities using a continuous automated sampling system to
demonstrate compliance with the dioxin/furan emission limits under
Sec.  60.52c shall record the output of the system and analyze the
sample using EPA Reference Method 23 of appendix A of this part. This
option to use a continuous automated sampling system takes effect on
the date a final performance specification applicable to dioxin/furan
from monitors is published in the Federal Register or the date of
approval of a site-specific monitoring plan. The owner or operator of
an affected facility who elects to continuously sample dioxin/furan
emissions instead of sampling and testing using EPA Reference Method 23
shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous automated
sampling system and shall comply with the requirements specified in
Sec.  60.58b(p) and (q) of subpart Eb of this part.
    (d) Except as provided in paragraphs (c)(4), (c)(5), and (c)(6) of
this section, the owner or operator of an affected facility equipped
with a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter, a wet scrubber, or a
dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter and wet scrubber shall:
* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (6) For HMIWI under Sec.  60.50c(a)(3) and (a)(4), operation of the
affected facility above the CO emission limit as measured by the CO
CEMS shall constitute a violation of the CO emission limit.
    (7) For HMIWI under Sec.  60.50c(a)(3) and (a)(4), failure to
initiate corrective action within 1 hour of a bag leak detection system
alarm; or failure to operate and maintain the fabric filter such that
the alarm is not engaged for more than 5 percent of the total operating
time in a 6-month block reporting period shall constitute a violation
of the PM emission limit. If inspection of the fabric filter
demonstrates that no corrective action is required, no alarm time is
counted. If corrective action is required, each alarm is counted as a
minimum of 1 hour. If it takes longer than 1 hour to initiate
corrective action, the alarm time is counted as the actual amount of
time taken to initiate corrective action. If the bag leak detection
system is used to demonstrate compliance with the opacity limit, this
would also constitute a violation of the opacity emission limit.
    (f) * * *
    (7) For HMIWI under Sec.  60.50c(a)(3) and (a)(4), operation of the
affected facility above the CO emission limit as measured by the CO
CEMS shall constitute a violation of the CO emission limit.
    (8) For all HMIWI, operation of the affected facility above the PM,
CO, HCl, Pb, Cd, and/or Hg emission limit as measured by the CEMS
specified in paragraph (c)(4) of this section shall constitute a
violation of the applicable emission limit.
    (9) For all HMIWI, operation of the affected facility above the
CDD/CDF emission limit as measured by the continuous automated sampling
system specified in paragraph (c)(6) of this section shall constitute a
violation of the CDD/CDF emission limit.
    (g) * * *
    (6) For HMIWI under Sec.  60.50c(a)(3) and (a)(4), operation of the
affected facility above the CO emission limit as measured by the CO
CEMS shall constitute a violation of the CO emission limit.
    (7) For HMIWI under Sec.  60.50c(a)(3) and (a)(4), failure to
initiate corrective action within 1 hour of a bag leak detection system
alarm; or failure to operate and maintain the fabric filter such that
the alarm is not engaged for more than 5 percent of the total operating
time in a 6-month block reporting period shall constitute a violation
of the PM emission limit. If inspection of the fabric filter
demonstrates that no corrective action is required, no alarm time is
counted. If corrective action is required, each alarm is counted as a
minimum of 1 hour. If it takes longer than 1 hour to initiate
corrective action, the alarm time is counted as the actual amount of
time taken to initiate corrective action. If the bag leak detection
system is used to demonstrate compliance with the opacity limit, this
would also constitute a violation of the opacity emission limit.
    (8) For all HMIWI, operation of the affected facility above the PM,
CO, HCl, Pb, Cd, and/or Hg emission limit as measured by the CEMS
specified in paragraph (c)(4) of this section shall constitute a
violation of the applicable emission limit.
    (9) For all HMIWI, operation of the affected facility above the
CDD/CDF emission limit as measured by the continuous automated sampling
system specified in paragraph (c)(6) of this section shall constitute a
violation of the CDD/CDF emission limit.
* * * * *
    (k) The owner or operator of an affected facility may use the
results of previous emissions tests to demonstrate compliance with the
emission limits, provided that the conditions in paragraphs (k)(1)
through (k)(3) of this section are met:
    (1) The previous emissions tests shall have been conducted using
the applicable procedures and test methods listed in paragraph (b) of
this section. Previous emissions test results obtained using EPA-
accepted voluntary consensus standards are also acceptable.
    (2) The HMIWI at the affected facility shall be operated in a
manner (e.g., with charge rate, secondary chamber temperature, etc.)
that would be expected to result in the same or lower emissions than
observed during the previous emissions test(s) and the HMIWI may not
have been modified such that emissions would be expected to exceed
(notwithstanding normal test-to-test variability) the results from
previous emissions test(s).
    (3) The previous emissions test(s) shall have been conducted in
1997 or later.
    14. Section 60.57c is amended as follows:
    a. By revising paragraph (a);
    b. By adding paragraph (e);
    c. By adding paragraph (f); and
    d. By adding paragraph (g).

Sec.  60.57c  Monitoring requirements

    (a) Except as provided in Sec.  60.56c(c)(4) through (c)(6), the
owner or operator of an affected facility shall install, calibrate (to
manufacturers' specifications), maintain, and operate devices (or
establish methods) for monitoring the applicable maximum and minimum
operating parameters listed in Table 3 to this subpart (unless optional
CEMS are used as a substitute for certain parameters as specified) such
that these devices (or methods) measure and record values for these
operating parameters at the frequencies indicated in Table 3 at all
times except during periods of startup and shutdown.

    (e) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall ensure that
each HMIWI subject to the emission limits in Sec.  60.52c undergoes an
initial air pollution control device inspection that is at least as
protective as the following:

    (1) At a minimum, an inspection shall include the following:
    (i) Inspect air pollution control device(s) for proper operation,
if applicable;
    (ii) Ensure proper calibration of thermocouples, sorbent feed
systems, and any other monitoring equipment; and
    (iii) Generally observe that the equipment is maintained in good
operating condition.
    (2) Within 10 operating days following an air pollution control
device inspection, all necessary repairs shall be completed unless the
owner or operator obtains written approval from the Administrator
establishing a date whereby all necessary repairs of the designated
facility shall be completed.
    (f) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall ensure that
each HMIWI subject to the emission limits under Sec.  60.52c undergoes
an air pollution control device inspection annually (no more than 12
months following the previous annual air pollution control device
inspection), as outlined in paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this
section.
    (g) For affected facilities under Sec.  60.50c(a)(3) and (a)(4)
using an air pollution control device that includes a fabric filter and
not using PM CEMS, determine compliance with the PM emission limit
using a bag leak detection system and meet the requirements in
paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(12) of this section for each bag leak
detection system. Affected facilities under Sec.  60.50c(a)(1) and
(a)(2) may elect to demonstrate continuous compliance with the PM
emission limit using a bag leak detection system and meet the
requirements in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(12) of this section.
    (1) Each triboelectric bag leak detection system shall be
installed, calibrated, operated, and maintained according to the
``Fabric Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance,'' (EPA 454/R-98-015,
September 1997). This document is available from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (U.S. EPA); Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards; Sector Policies and Programs Division; Measurement Policy
Group (D-243-02), Research Triangle Park, NC 27711. This document is
also available on the Technology Transfer Network (TTN) under Emission
Measurement Center Continuous Emission Monitoring. Other types of bag
leak detection systems shall be installed, operated, calibrated, and
maintained in a manner consistent with the manufacturer's written
specifications and recommendations.
    (2) The bag leak detection system shall be certified by the
manufacturer to be capable of detecting PM emissions at concentrations
of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter (0.0044 grains per actual cubic
foot) or less.
    (3) The bag leak detection system sensor shall provide an output of
relative PM loadings.
    (4) The bag leak detection system shall be equipped with a device
to continuously record the output signal from the sensor.
    (5) The bag leak detection system shall be equipped with an audible
alarm system that will sound automatically when an increase in relative
PM emissions over a preset level is detected. The alarm shall be
located where it is easily heard by plant operating personnel.
    (6) For positive pressure fabric filter systems, a bag leak
detector shall be installed in each baghouse compartment or cell.
    (7) For negative pressure or induced air fabric filters, the bag
leak detector shall be installed downstream of the fabric filter.
    (8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
    (9) The baseline output shall be established by adjusting the range
and the averaging period of the device and establishing the alarm set
points and the alarm delay time according to section 5.0 of the
``Fabric Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance.''
    (10) Following initial adjustment of the system, the sensitivity or
range, averaging period, alarm set points, or alarm delay time may not
be adjusted. In no case may the sensitivity be increased by more than
100 percent or decreased more than 50 percent over a 365-day period
unless such adjustment follows a complete fabric filter inspection that
demonstrates that the fabric filter is in good operating condition.
Each adjustment shall be recorded.
    (11) Record the results of each inspection, calibration, and
validation check.
    (12) Initiate corrective action within 1 hour of a bag leak
detection system alarm; operate and maintain the fabric filter such
that the alarm is not engaged for more than 5 percent of the total
operating time in a 6-month block reporting period. If inspection of
the fabric filter demonstrates that no corrective action is required,
no alarm time is counted. If corrective action is required, each alarm
is counted as a minimum of 1 hour. If it takes longer than 1 hour to
initiate corrective action, the alarm time is counted as the actual
amount of time taken to initiate corrective action.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Request to Medical Examiners on the National Registry of
Certified Medical Examiners Regarding Submission of Examination Results

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

ACTION: Request for examination results.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA requests that medical examiners (MEs), by September 30,
2021, submit results of physical qualification examinations conducted
during the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (National
Registry) outage from December 1, 2017, through August 13, 2018. During
the outage, FMCSA encouraged MEs to continue conducting physical
qualification examinations and instructed MEs to submit examination
results to the National Registry when upload functionality was
restored. The upload functionality was fully restored on August 13,
2018, but a significant number of healthcare professionals have not
uploaded the results from examinations conducted during the National
Registry outage. FMCSA requests that the examiners in question upload
the information.

DATES: Medical examiners should submit the results from examinations
conducted between December 1, 2017, and August 13, 2018, to the Agency
by September 30, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division, FMCSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE,
Washington, DC 20590-0001; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>;
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Enacted in 2005 and amended in 2012, 49 U.S.C. 31149 authorizes the
National Registry program. Among other statutory mandates, section
31149 directed the Secretary, acting through FMSCA, to establish the
National Registry and to require MEs to transmit electronically certain
information about completed medical examination results of commercial
motor vehicle (CMV) drivers (section 31149(c)(1)(E), (d)(1)). To
implement the requirements of section 31149, FMCSA issued a final rule
in 2012 establishing the National Registry (77 FR 24104 (Apr. 20,
2012)). This rule also required MEs to submit a CMV Driver Medical
Examination Results Form, MCSA-5850, to FMCSA for each physical
examination conducted during the previous month for any driver who is
required to be examined by an ME listed on the National Registry. This
rule was amended in 2015 to require MEs to report results of all CMV
drivers' physical examinations conducted (including the results of
examinations where the driver was found not to be qualified) to FMCSA
by midnight local time of the next calendar day following the
examination, beginning on June 22, 2018 (80 FR 22790 (Apr. 23, 2015);
80 FR 35577 (Jun. 22, 2015)).

II. National Registry Outage

    In December 2017, an incident occurred that caused the Agency to
take the National Registry system offline. Unfortunately, during the
outage, MEs were not able to access their National Registry accounts to
upload results of examinations conducted. MEs were encouraged to
continue conducting physical qualification examinations and issuing
Medical Examiner's Certificates to qualified CMV drivers. MEs were also
informed that they should segregate all examinations completed during
the outage and be prepared to upload them to the National Registry
system when it is back online and operating normally.

III. National Registry Reporting Functionality Restored

    The functionality for MEs to submit results of examinations to the
National Registry was restored on June 22, 2018. The functionality for
Medical Examiner Administrative Assistants (MEAAs) and Third Party
Organizations (TPOs) to submit results of examinations on behalf of MEs
to the National Registry was restored on August 13, 2018. Therefore,
MEs were instructed to resume submitting results of examinations
conducted either through their National Registry account or by using
their designated MEAAs or TPOs, in accordance with 49 CFR
391.43(g)(5)(i)(B) and (5)(ii).
    Although the functionality to enter results of examinations
conducted had been restored, FMCSA was concerned that the temporary
National Registry system would not be able to handle the usual daily
activity together with the additional activity for results from
examinations conducted during the time the National Registry was
offline. Therefore, on June 27, 2018, FMCSA sent an email to all MEs
explaining that FMCSA was not requiring MEs to immediately upload
results of the examinations conducted during the National Registry
outage and that it would provide an extended period to upload results
of examinations conducted during the National Registry outage. The
Agency explained that, in an effort to limit the time burden on MEs, it
would ensure that MEs have ample time to upload results of these
examinations.

IV. Request for Examination Results

    Due to continued improvements to the National Registry system,
FMCSA is no longer concerned about the increased activity of uploading
results of examinations that occurred during the National Registry
outage. FMCSA is aware that while many MEs have submitted results of
examinations conducted while the National Registry was offline, others
still have not done so. FMCSA estimates that approximately 14,000 MEs
still have examinations results to upload. This includes MEs who were
certified and actively uploading results of examinations conducted on
December 1, 2017, when the National Registry was taken offline, who
have successfully migrated their National Registry account, and who
have been using the interim National Registry system. This activity
demonstrates that they have continued to conduct physical qualification
examinations, but may not have uploaded results of any examinations
conducted between the outage period of December 1, 2017, and August 13,
2018. Therefore, FMCSA requests that MEs who have not yet submitted
results of examinations conducted during the National Registry outage,
between December 1, 2017, and August 13, 2018, report the outstanding
results to the National Registry through their National Registry
account or by a designated MEAA or TPO no later than September 30,
2021. FMCSA makes this request to ensure, to the greatest extent
possible, that results of all examinations conducted during the outage
are reported to the National Registry.
