  • 2024-31267 — Commercial Driver's License: State of Hawaii; Application for Exemption
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 106729
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is considering a request from Hawaii for a five-year exemption from some commercial driver's license (CDL) and training requirements. Currently, Hawaii has a two-year exemption that lets drivers on the islands of Lanai and Molokai skip parts of the CDL skills test, but it expires in 2026. Hawaii wants to extend this exemption and add more leniency for training providers in those areas. The FMCSA is asking the public to share their opinions on whether to cancel the current exemption and grant a new one. Comments must be submitted by January 29, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FMCSA is thinking about giving Hawaii a longer break from some driving test rules for big trucks on two small islands, and they want to know what people think about this idea. They are wondering if they should keep the old rule until 2026 or make a new one that lasts five years.

  • 2024-28764 — Entry-Level Driver Training; Albert Farley Jr.; Application for Exemption
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 97700
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    Albert Farley Jr. has asked the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for an exemption from certain training requirements to become a commercial driving instructor. Specifically, he wants to bypass the rule that instructors need at least two years of driving experience with the same type of vehicle they're teaching about. He argues that there's a strong demand for Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holders in his area, and fulfilling the current requirements would be a financial burden and leave a gap at his workplace. The FMCSA is seeking public comments on whether to approve his request.

    Simple Explanation

    Albert wants to be a truck driving teacher but doesn't have the required two years of driving experience with big trucks. He's asking if he can skip this rule because there aren't enough teachers where he lives, and the people in charge are asking everyone what they think about it.
