Thread: Drivers license medical

  1. #21
    I called DOT and they walked me through where we are on this (that is, they walked me through what they can legally state). Bottom line is that officially the proposal is at OST. Got confirmation from FAA rulemaking division, who said the same thing.

    DOT Updated their schedule today for the Drivers License Medical and now projects public release on 5 March 2015. Their newly published schedule does not appear to show any parallel activity that would have accelerated the schedule toward publication. They still show that the NRPM has not left DOT and now isn't scheduled to leave DOT till 30 Nov. Then OMB will have it for three months.

    Me thinks they have been blowing smoke up EAA's (et al) skirt.

    Ted,

    As you know, come January 3 many of the Representatives and Senators on that list will be pursuing other career options and the bill's support coalition will have to be rebuilt. There is work to be done in building up the GA caucuses, too.
    The bill will likely stay alive in one form or another, and I suspect that the FAA does not want that legislative language to be a factor in the 2015 re-authorization bill. That is why we are holding out hope for an acceptable NPRM, as slow as the process may be.

    Jonathan- I believe in Christmas Miracles.

    There isn't any reason this reasonably uncontroversial Bill couldn't be swept up in the end of year clean-up and tacked onto a omnibus before the Session is out. If we keep the heat on the yet unsponsored, it just might happen.

    As it stands now, the bureaucrats have slow rolled us so we won't even see the NPRM until March. I am mad as heck because for two months DOT had dates in the rear view mirror.

    EAA indicated that DOT and OMB were working together to fast track the NPRM. Do you see any evidence of that?

    if we get a good NPRM, I'm ok with that, but I never put all my chips on one number.

    In July, the DOT Significant Rulemaking tracker said that the Third Class Medical NPRM would be released for public comment in November.

    It it is now January 2015, and the DOT Rulemaking tracker indicates that the NPRM won't be released until May 2015.

    So in six months, we have slid six months.

    Jonathon, can you tell us what EAA is doing?

    Does anyone know if our staff at EAA are lobbying for the Drivers License at this time, January 14? ...Why do 'bad' regulations take a few days for Congress to pass and benevolent ones stall out? If the Republicans control the majority, where is the logjam? Thanks, Lynn

    Now the American public will see it does not matter what side is in office or what office, politicians are what they are, it matters not if you have an R or D in front of ones name.

    From a January 22 AOPA update, "The Department of Transportation has announced plans to complete its review of proposed third class medical reforms on Jan. 26, allowing the FAA’s draft rule to move to the Office of Management and Budget for another round of mandatory reviews."
    Does anyone know if the NPRM actually moved over to the OMB? The DOT web site has not been updated for several months and fails to show any reason for the 8 month delay.
