    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has decided to renew exemptions for 10 individuals who have a history of epilepsy or seizures. Normally, drivers with such medical history are not allowed to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce due to safety regulations. However, these exemptions allow the individuals to continue driving as long as they are on anti-seizure medication, ensuring safety is equivalent to standard regulations. The exemptions are valid for two years from their effective date but can be revoked if safety conditions are not met.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is allowing 10 people who take medicine for seizures to continue driving big trucks, even though the rules usually don't let people with seizures drive them. They say this is okay as long as the drivers stay safe like everyone else.

    The government is having a meeting about airplane rules where people can join in person or online to hear updates and discuss things like pilot tests and airplane engines. People need to sign up because there isn't a lot of space, but it's not clear how they decide who gets to come, how much it costs, or exactly what happens to any letters people send them.
