FMCSA announces its decision to grant in part and deny in part the exemption application from the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT). FMCSA grants all State Driver's Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) a five-year exemption to issue a non-domiciled commercial driver's license (CDL) or non-domiciled commercial learner's permit (CLP) to citizens of Freely Associated States (FAS) who reside in the United States and who have a valid, unexpired passport issued by an FAS and a Form I-94 or I -94A. The FAS are the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. FMCSA concludes that granting the exemption, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, is likely to achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level of safety that would be achieved absent the exemption. FMCSA denies HDOT's request to issue standard, rather than non-domiciled, CLPs and CDLs to FAS citizens. This exemption decision supersedes the exemption previously granted to the Oregon Department of Transportation that allowed Oregon to issue standard, rather than non-domiciled, CLPs and CDLs to FAS citizens.
