If the TSA notifies a state that a driver is not eligible for a hazardous materials endorsement, the state is required to deny or revoke the endorsement. This will not affect your CDL Group or any other endorsements, and does not affect your base Operator or Chauffeur license. If you currently have an X endorsement, it will be converted to an N endorsement.

The state cannot hear any appeals or requests for waivers. Neither the Secretary of State nor the Michigan courts can provide any relief or assistance related to obtaining a hazardous materials endorsement or appealing a TSA decision.

If TSA disqualified you from holding a hazardous materials endorsement, you may appeal to the TSA. Under some circumstances, you may request a waiver from TSA. Only the TSA may hear appeals or requests for waivers. You can find more information about appeals and waivers at the TSA Web page and on the TSA Frequently Asked Questions Web page.
