Summary

FMCSA requests public comment on the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's (CVSA) request for guidance, which FMCSA is treating as an application for exemption, to allow motor carriers and drivers to rely on a paper copy of the medical examiner's certificate (MEC) as proof of the driver's medical certification until the Medical Examiner's Certification Integration (NRII) final rule is fully implemented in all 50 States and the District of Columbia.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
