FMCSA amends the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to require interstate commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders subject to the physical qualification requirements of the FMCSRs to provide a current original or copy of their medical examiner’s certificates to their State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA). The Agency also requires the SDLA to record on the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) driver record the selfcertification the driver made regarding the applicability of the Federal driver qualification rules and, for drivers subject to those requirements, the medical certification status information specified in this final rule. Other conforming requirements are also implemented. This action is required by section 215 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA).
