The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has decided to renew vision exemptions for 26 drivers, allowing them to operate commercial motor vehicles even if they don't meet the vision requirement in one eye. These exemptions are for interstate commerce and each one is valid for two years unless revoked. The FMCSA evaluated the applications and found that the exemptions will maintain a safety level at least equal to the current regulation. Public participation was encouraged, and one supportive comment was received.
Simple Explanation
The government is letting 26 truck drivers keep driving big trucks, even though they can't see well with one eye, because they found it's still safe enough. They will check again in two years to make sure they are still safe drivers.
