Procedures for Participating in and Receiving Data From the National Driver Register Problem Driver Pointer System

This final rule announces that changes made to NHTSA's National Driver Register (NDR) regulations, through an interim final rule implementing a recent amendment to the National Driver Register Act of 1982 (the Act), are adopted as final with some changes described below. The amendment to the Act authorized the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard to request and receive information from the NDR regarding the motor vehicle driving records of any officer, chief warrant officer, or enlisted member of the Coast Guard or Coast Guard Reserve (including a cadet or an applicant for appointment or enlistment of any of the foregoing, and any member of a uniformed service who is assigned to the Coast Guard). NHTSA's interim final rule established the procedures for such individuals to request, and for the Commandant to receive, NDR information. This final rule also puts in place technical amendments affecting the National Driver Register Act of 1982 contained in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21).
