Notice of application for exemption renewal; request for comments.
FMCSA announces that the U.S. Custom Harvesters, Inc. (USCHI) has requested a renewal of the exemption from the “K” intrastate restriction on commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) held by custom harvester drivers under the age of 21 operating in interstate commerce. FMCSA's regulations currently provide an exception to the minimum age requirements for drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) controlled and operated by a person engaged in interstate custom harvesting. However, under the Agency's CDL regulations, States must include an intrastate-only (or “K”) restriction for these drivers. FMCSA requests public comment on USCHI's application to renew its exemption.
Comments must be received on or before June 11, 2025.
