GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-9034 RIN 2126-AA97 Docket No. FMCSA-2008-0363 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Final rule. Effective on May 21, 2012. Compliance required beginning on May 21, 2014. 49 CFR Parts 350, 383, 390, and 391 FMCSA establishes a National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (National Registry) with requirements that all medical examiners who conduct physical examinations for interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers meet the following criteria: Complete certain training concerning FMCSA's physical qualification standards, pass a test to verify an understanding of those standards, and maintain and demonstrate competence through periodic training and testing. Following establishment of the National Registry and a transition period, FMCSA will require that motor carriers and drivers use only those medical examiners on the Agency's National Registry and will only accept as valid medical examiner's certificates issued by medical examiners listed on the National Registry. FMCSA is developing the National Registry program to improve highway safety and driver health by requiring that medical examiners be trained and certified so they can determine effectively whether a CMV driver's medical fitness for duty meets FMCSA's standards.
