    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has received applications from nine individuals seeking an exemption from the hearing requirements in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. If granted, these exemptions would allow the applicants, who are deaf or hard of hearing, to operate commercial motor vehicles across state lines. The FMCSA is accepting public comments on these applications until February 20, 2025. The agency will evaluate whether granting these exemptions would maintain or exceed the current safety standards required by law.
