Standing at the LIRR Mineola station on August 8th, 2017, Senator Schumer demanded that the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reverse their abrupt decision to derail a rulemaking process that would have paved the way for required sleep apnea screening and treatment mandates for rail workers and commercial truck drivers across the nation. Schumer’s call comes after the two agencies, today, formally backed out of a commitment to begin the process of requiring sleep apnea testing on the federal level. Schumer wants both of these federal agencies to immediately reverse course and stick to the plan he fought for in 2016 that moved to make sleep apnea testing the law of the land.
