Snippet of Article: "...U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy today announced an emergency action to drastically restrict who is eligible for a non-domiciled commercial learner’s permits (CLPs) and commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). The rule, effective immediately, comes in response to an ongoing nationwide audit by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and a recent series of horrific, fatal crashes caused by non-domiciled drivers.
The audit has uncovered both a catastrophic pattern of states issuing licenses illegally to foreign drivers, as well as the fact that even if the current regulatory framework is followed, it can fail. The confluence of these two factors has created an imminent hazard on America’s roadways that must be fixed.
Moving forward, non-citizens will not be eligible for a non-domiciled CDL unless they meet a much stricter set of rules..."

Through the job analysis process, Federal agencies analyze work and apply OPM qualification standards to determine the education, training, experience and/or other requirements (e.g., licensure, certification) that an applicant must possess to be considered for a position or occupation. During this process, an agency may identify specific conditions to which applicants must agree or meet.
