A. Applicability of Exemption
This exemption is applicable to
International’s drivers Johan Astrom,
Kristoffer Lindve, and Martin Uppman.
Under this exemption, the drivers are
exempt from the CDL requirement in 49
CFR 383.23. This exemption permits the
drivers to drive CMVs in the United
States without a State-issued CDL.
Consequently, the drivers are not
subject to the requirements of 49 CFR
part 382, including the Clearinghouse
requirements in subpart G.
B. Terms and Conditions
When operating under this
exemption, International and the drivers
are subject to the following terms and

through 399);
2. The drivers must be in possession
of the exemption document and a valid
Swedish commercial license of the class
of the operated vehicle;
3. The drivers must be employed by,
and operate the CMV within the scope
of their duties for, International;
4. At all times while operating a CMV
under this exemption, the drivers must
be accompanied by a holder of a Stateissued CDL who is familiar with the
routes traveled;
5. International must notify FMCSA
in writing within 5 business days of any
accident, as defined in 49 CFR 390.5,
involving Johan Astrom, Kristoffer
Lindve, or Martin Uppman;
6. International must notify FMCSA
in writing if Johan Astrom, Kristoffer
Lindve, or Martin Uppman are
convicted of an offense listed in
§ 383.51 or a disqualifying offense under
§ 391.15 of the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations; and
7. International must implement a
drug and alcohol testing program that
satisfies the requirements in 49 CFR part
382, subparts A through F, including,
but not limited to, all testing
requirements and participation in a
consortium for random testing.
International must require that Johan

Astrom, Kristoffer Lindve, and Martin
Uppman each be subject to those
requirements. International must
provide documentation of its drug and
alcohol testing program upon request to
FMCSA.
C. Preemption
In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31315(d), as implemented by 49 CFR
381.600, during the period this
exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation applicable
to interstate commerce that conflicts
with or is inconsistent with this
exemption with respect to a firm or
person operating under the exemption.
States may, but are not required to,
adopt the same exemption with respect
to operations in intrastate commerce.
D. Notification to FMCSA
Under the exemption, International
must notify FMCSA within 5 business
days of any positive drug or alcohol
tests, or accident (as defined in 49 CFR
390.5), involving Johan Astrom,
Kristoffer Lindve, or Martin Uppman
while operating a CMV under the terms
of this exemption. The notification
about accidents must include the
following information:
a. Identifier of the Exemption:
‘‘International- Johan Astrom, Kristoffer
Lindve, and Martin Uppman;’’
b. Name of operating carrier and
USDOT number;
c. Date of the accident;
d. City or town, and State, in which
the accident occurred, or closest to the
accident scene;
e. Driver’s name and license number;
f. Co-driver’s name (if any) and
license number;
g. Vehicle number and State license
number;
h. Number of individuals suffering
physical injury;
i. Number of fatalities;

the date of the accident, and the total
on-duty time and driving time in the
work shift prior to the accident.
Reports filed under this provision
shall be emailed to MCPSD@dot.gov
with ‘‘International FMCSA 2024–0302’’

VII. Termination
FMCSA does not believe the drivers
or the motor carrier covered by this
exemption will experience any

deterioration of their safety records.
However, the exemption will be
rescinded if: (1) International or the
drivers operating under the exemption
fail to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level
of safety than was maintained before it
was granted; or (3) continuation of the
exemption would not be consistent with
the goals and objects of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b).

material to the docket, call Dockets
Operations at (202) 366–9826.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Electronic Logging Device (ELD)
Vendor Registration.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0062.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: ELD vendors.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 94.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2025.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 71
hours [94 respondents × 1 device per
respondent × 3 updates per device × 15
minutes per response].
Background: The ELD regulations in
49 CFR part 395, subpart B establish
minimum performance and design
standards for hours-of-service (HOS)
ELDs; requirements for the mandatory
use of these devices by drivers currently
required to prepare HOS records of duty
status (RODS); requirements concerning
HOS supporting documents; and
measures to address concerns about
harassment resulting from the
mandatory use of ELDs.
To ensure consistency among ELD
vendors and devices, detailed functional
specifications were published as part of
a final rule published December 16,
2015 (80 FR 78292) and may currently
be found in appendix A to subpart B of
part 395, 49 CFR. Each ELD vendor
developing an ELD technology must
self-certify and register their devices
online at a secure FMCSA website via
Form MCSA–5893, ‘‘Electronic Logging
Device (ELD) Vendor Registration and
Certification.’’ The ELD provider must
certify that its ELD is compliant with
the functional specifications. Each ELD
vendor must certify that each ELD
model and version has been sufficiently
tested to meet the functional
requirements in appendix A under the
conditions in which the ELD will be
used.
FMCSA expects 100 percent of
respondents to submit their information
electronically. Once completed, FMCSA
issues a unique identification number
that the ELD vendor will embed in their
device(s). FMCSA maintains a list on its
website of the current ELD vendors and
devices that have been certified (by the
vendors) to meet the functional
specifications. The information is
necessary for fleets and drivers to easily
find a compliant ELD for meeting the
requirements of the FMCSA regulations
requiring the use of ELDs.
On January 8, 2025, FMCSA

whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways for
FMCSA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected

PTCSP under 49 CFR 236.1021.
Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA’s
regulations provide that FRA will
publish a notice in the Federal Register
and invite public comment in
accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an
RFA includes a request for approval of
a material modification of a signal or
