The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association claims the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s rule on medical examiner’s certification integration added regulations that bypassed the rulemaking process.
OOIDA filed its opening brief in the case on Wednesday, Jan. 19, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
FMCSA issued a final rule in April 2015 that required certified medical examiners, who perform physicals on drivers of commercial motor vehicles, to use a new medical form. The agency announced it was creating procedures by which medical examiners would submit the results of driver medical examinations to the states so that a driver’s medial certification would be combined with the commercial driver’s license.
