Something new for 2012

HME-TWIC Comparability:

Effective January 2012, the TSA Hazardous Materials Endorsement Security Threat Assessment Program will offer the ability for Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) holders the option to obtain an HME without undergoing a new, full security threat assessment (STA). The STAs for both the HME and TWIC programs have been deemed comparable, therefore applicants will not be required to submit a new set of fingerprints and will pay a reduced fee when applying for a Comparable HME. The ability to apply for a Comparable HME within each state will be determined by each state’s division of motor vehicles. More details will be provided closer to implementation of HME-TWIC Comparability, including a listing of those States that will offer this capability.

TSA: HAZMAT Endorsement Threat Assessment Program

I'm on hold at this moment trying to confirm whether Ohio is a participating state, as my HazMat expires in April.

This would be a great money saver and save a lot of time running back and forth for the Security check.
