#  Medical examination; certificate of physical examination.

**AGENCY:**

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, DOT.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is correcting a Final Rule that appeared in the *Federal Register* on January 30, 2012 (77 FR 4479), which amended the physical qualifications for drivers and the instructions for the medical examination report to clarify that drivers may not use Schedule I drugs and be qualified to drive commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) under any circumstances.

**DATES:**

Effective February 22, 2012.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

If you have questions on this rule, call or e-mail Angela Ward, Nurse Consultant, Medical Programs Office, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, telephone: 202-366-3109; email: *[email protected].*

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

FMCSA's recent rule harmonizing Schedule I drug requirements included several changes to the Instructions to the Medical Examination Report for Commercial Driver Fitness Determination, form 649-F (6045). Although no changes were to be made to the form itself, due to a printing error, several changes were inadvertently made. The following correction reverses those changes.

In FR Doc. 2012-1905 appearing on page 4483 in the *Federal Register* of Monday, January 30, 2012, in Instruction 8, correct the form in § 391.43(f) to read as follows:

§ 391.43

(f) * * *

Issued on: January 31, 2012.

Larry Minor,

Associate Administrator for Policy.
