The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has updated medical advisory criteria that are used by certified medical examiners to qualify commercial motor vehicle operators for safe operations. The criteria, published as an appendix in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), provide guidance for medical examiners to help them comply with standards, including information related to testing and how to make a physical qualification determination.
In a related action, the FMCSA published the 2024 edition of its Medical Examiner’s Handbook to update medical advisory criteria published in Appendix A to 49 CFR part 391. It replaces all previous editions; medical examiners are advised not to rely on prior versions. Of particular note:
