The National Driver Register Act of 1982, Title 49 U.S.C., Chapter 303 (as amended) requires the chief driver licensing official of a State to report to the National Driver Register (NDR) identification information regarding any individual who is denied a motor vehicle operator’s license for cause, whose motor vehicle operator’s license is withdrawn for cause, or who is convicted of certain serious motor vehicle related offenses (specified in the Act) or comparable offenses. States also are required to submit an inquiry to the NDR on all applicants for driver’s licenses. In addition, States are required to submit inquiries to the NDR and respond to authorized users of the NDR for transportation safety purposes. The purpose of the information collection is to improve traffic and transportation safety by providing a nationwide clearinghouse of problem drivers. The information collected is used by State driver licensing agencies to identify problem drivers prior to issuing a driver license and to develop and implement driver improvement programs. The information collected is also used by employers and Federal agencies in making hiring and certification decisions. The following groups are also authorized to receive information for transportation safety purposes: a. Employers of motor vehicle operators, b. Employers of locomotive operators, c. Federal Aviation Administration regarding applications for or holders of airman’s certificates, d. U.S. Coast Guard regarding applicants for or holders of licenses, certificates of registry, or merchant mariner’s documents, and for Coast Guard crew members, e. National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in connection with accident investigations, f. Air carriers regarding individuals seeking employment as pilots, and g. Individuals seeking access to national security information or who are being investigated for Federal employment.
