Hazmat Background checks

I need to get a hazmat endorsement and I am a little concerned about the background check. I can't seem to find a list of disqualifying offenses. I did find a list of disqualifying offenses for a TWIC card and I would be ok to get one of those. But I don't know what would be a disqualifying offense for Hazmat.

Does anybody know where to locate that list for Hazmat?

 

I suppose I could get a twic first but I don't think I will need it and they cost $130. But if that background check was already done they probably wouldn't need to do it again for Hazmat.

 

Thanks condocruiser;

That page is similar to the twic faq. The info I was looking at was this...

Part B – Interim Disqualifying Offenses
Conviction for one of the following felonies is disqualifying if the applicant was convicted, pled guilty (including 'no contest'), or found not guilty by reason of insanity within 7 years of the date of the TWIC application; OR if the applicant was released from prison after conviction within 5 years of the date of the application. The applicant may apply for a waiver.

What if a conviction is "exonerated?"

• If a conviction is expunged or pardoned, the criminal records may reveal this. If they do not, TSA sends the applicant a Preliminary Determination of Ineligibility letter explaining what the records show and how the applicant can correct inaccurate records.

What if my initial disqualifying crime is no longer applicable? Can I reapply for a TWIC?

• Applicants are encouraged to reapply if their initial disqualifying offense is no longer applicable. Applicants will need to understand the nature of the initial disqualification and the corresponding look-back periods of 5 or 7 years if applicable. Reapplying can occur as long as there are no secondary disqualifying events.

So it looks like you are ok if your offense is older than 7 years. At least for the twic. So I guess it would be ok for the hazmat too.

 

I'll consider that the voice of experience and learn from your mistakes.
