Appendix D to Part 240 - Identification of State Agencies That
Perform National Driver Register Checks
Under the provisions of § 240.111, each person seeking
certification or recertification as a locomotive operator must
request that a check of the National Driver Register (NDR) be
conducted and that the resulting information be furnished to his or
her employer or prospective employer. Under the provisions of
paragraphs (d) and (e) of § 240.111, each person seeking
certification or recertification as a locomotive engineer must
request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) conduct the NDR check, unless he or she was issued a motor
vehicle driver license by one of the State agencies that perform
such checks, which today includes all State agencies and the
District of Columbia. If the certification candidate received a
license from one of the State agencies or the District of Columbia,
he or she must request the State agency to perform the NDR check.
Since these State agencies can more efficiently supply the desired
data and, in some instances, can provide a higher quality of
information, FRA requires that certification candidates make use of
this method in preference to contacting NHTSA directly.
