DHS/TSA | RIN: 1652-AA50 | Publication ID: Fall 2010 |
Title: Drivers Licensed by Canada or Mexico Transporting Hazardous Materials To and Within the United States | |
Abstract: This Interim Final Rule (IFR), published by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on August 7, 2006, announced that a commercial motor vehicle driver licensed in Canada or Mexico who holds a Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program card may use that card as an acceptable credential to transport placarded amounts of hazardous materials or any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR part 73 within the United States. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) requires that, as of August 10, 2006, commercial motor vehicle drivers licensed in Canada or Mexico who transport hazardous materials in the United States must undergo a background check similar to the one required of U.S.-licensed operators with a hazardous materials endorsement (HME) on a commercial drivers license (CDL). This rule announced TSA's determination that the background check required to obtain a credential under the FAST program meets the background check requirements of SAFETEA-LU. This interim rule also removed TSA's pre-existing 49 CFR 1572.201 procedures for commercial drivers licensed in Canada who transport explosives into the United States (See RIN 1652-AA16). | |
