The proposed rule does not impose more-than-minor costs on businesses. Following is a summary of the agency's analysis showing how costs were calculated. Benefits for customers and employers include greater ease for regaining a commercial driver's license, or licensed driver, without incurring additional costs for training and testing. Costs include reduced cash flows to nonemployer training providers, state-operated testing facilities, and third-party examiners due to lifting requirements for drivers to undergo retraining and retesting. Additionally, reducing these requirements may get drivers on the road faster than current policy allows, but this risk should be offset by other efforts to ensure initial training quality, proficiency standards, and integrity of assessments. We believe that with these efforts, fewer professional drivers will face withdrawal actions leading to CDL surrender, and that the overall benefits exceed the costs involved in extending the retesting and retraining intervals and standardizing demonstration of proficiency criteria. Concerns raised by stakeholders were addressed in the modified language being filed.
