Employment Issues
The Transportation
Security Administration (T.S.A.) is responsible for supervising the
program which requires fingerprints and a background check of all
commercial drivers with hazardous materials endorsements. Individuals are
randomly receiving notice via mail, usually 60-90 days prior to license
renewal, with instructions on fulfilling the
requirements. You may also research information on the program or initiate
the process yourself at the TSA's website by

The fee for this 'service' is $94.00*, and fingerprinting must be performed at one of
their locations in one of the participating states. (*Fee amount subject
to change.)
