Title: Security Threat Assessment for Individuals Applying for a Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Driver's License 
Abstract: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will take final action on the November 24, 2004, interim final rule by responding to comments. This action, initiated with a rule published on May 5, 2003, implements requirements in the Safe Explosives Act and the USA Patriot Act, relating to security threat assessments of commercial truck drivers who are authorized to transport hazardous materials. This rule amends the May 5th rule by providing additional guidance to the States and industry on the process for collecting fingerprints and information from commercial drivers who apply to obtain or renew a hazardous materials endorsement. In addition, the rule requires the States to formally decide whether they will collect this information or whether TSA will complete the collection. TSA has added definitions and made organizational and substantive changes to the current standards codified at 49 CFR part 1572.
