Transportation Department, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
FMCSA announces that the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) has applied for a limited exemption from the commercial driver's license (CDL) rules concerning acceptable proof of citizenship or lawful permanent residency for citizens of Freely Associated States (FAS) who now reside in Hawaii and wish to obtain a CDL. The FAS are the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. If the exemption is granted, HDOT would be allowed to issue standard commercial learner permits (CLPs) and CDLs to FAS citizens, rather than issuing non-domiciled CLPs and CDLs. FMCSA requests public comment on the applicant's request and on the question of whether FMCSA should grant the exemption to all State Driver's Licensing Agencies (SDLAs).
