SUMMARY: In a final rule published in the Federal Register on January

acuity standard with corrective lenses or the field of vision standard, 
or both, to be physically qualified to operate a commercial motor 
vehicle in interstate commerce under specified conditions. The document

in a vision waiver study program to come into compliance with the 
provisions in the final rule.
