Title: Limitations on Issuance of Commercial Driver's License With Hazardous Materials Endorsement 
Abstract: FMCSA, working in conjunction with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), amended its regulations to prohibit States from issuing, renewing, transferring, or upgrading a commercial driver's license (CDL) with a hazardous materials endorsement unless TSA has first conducted a background records check of the applicant and determined that the applicant does not pose a security risk warranting denial of the hazardous materials endorsement. FMCSA and TSA published simultaneous interim final rules. This action is considered significant because of substantial industry and public interest and national security.
