You already hold a hazardous materials endorsement, and you are then convicted of a disqualifying criminal offense. What does federal regulation require you to do?

Explanation

The holder has 24 hours to surrender the endorsement, and it goes to the licensing State: that is the destination 1572.11(a) names, and the same paragraph warns that failing to surrender it to the State may bring immediate revocation, civil penalties, or both. The duty is the holder's own rather than something to wait on the State to initiate. Four kinds of event start that same 24-hour clock. The first covers the criminal track, where a conviction, an outstanding want, an indictment or complaint, or a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity all count, so long as the offense is one the security rules list as disqualifying. The others are an adjudication of lacking mental capacity or a commitment to a mental health facility, renouncing or losing United States citizenship or lawful permanent resident status, and violating immigration status or being ordered removed from the country. The three wrong options all push the duty onto someone else or further out in time, onto the renewal cycle, onto the State, or onto the current employer's needs, when the rule puts a short, self-executing deadline on the driver.
