SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 15, 2020, (85 FR 21061), FMCSA 
published a notice regarding five individuals requesting an exemption 
from the physical qualification standard found in Sec.  391.41(b)(4), 
which states that a person is physically qualified to drive a CMV if 
that person has no current clinical diagnosis of myocardial infarction, 
angina pectoris, coronary insufficiency, thrombosis, or any other 
cardiovascular disease of a variety known to be accompanied by syncope, 
dyspnea, collapse, or congestive cardiac failure. The notice 
referenced, in error, Minnesota as the State of domicile for the 
applicant, Theodore J. Engelke. Mr. Engelke's correct State of domicile 
is Wisconsin.
    In addition, FMCSA extends the comment period to ensure that 
interested parties have sufficient time to review and comment on the 
exemption applications.
