PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Authority: 6 U.S.C. § 1140, 46 U.S.C. § 70105; 49 U.S.C. §§ 106, 114, 5103a, 40103(b)(3), 40113, 44903,

1520 (121 Stat. 444, Public Law 110-52, August 3, 2007); and Executive Order 9397, as amended.
Purpose: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will use the biographic information to conduct a
security threat assessment. Your ngerprints and associated information will be provided to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for the purpose of comparing your ngerprints to other ngerprints in the FBI’s
Next Generation Identication (NGI) system or its successor systems including civil, criminal, and latent
ngerprint repositories. The FBI may retain your ngerprints and associated information in NGI after the
completion of this application and, while retained, your ngerprints may continue to be compared against other
ngerprints submitted to or retained by NGI. DHS will also transmit your ngerprints for enrollment into US-
VISIT Automated Biometrics Identication System (IDENT). If you provide your Social Security Number (SSN),
DHS may provide your name and SSN to the Social Security Administration (SSA) to compare that information
against SSA records to ensure the validity of the information.
Routine Uses: In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 522a(b) of the Privacy
Act, all or a portion of the records or information contained in this system may be disclosed outside DHS
as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 522a(b)(3) including with third parties during the course of a security
threat assessment, employment investigation, or adjudication of a waiver or appeal request to the extent
necessary to obtain information pertinent to the assessment, investigation, or adjudication of your application
or in accordance with the routine uses identied in the TSA system of records notice (SORN) DHS/TSA
002, Transportation Security Threat Assessment System. For as long as your ngerprints and associated
information are retained in NGI, your information may be disclosed pursuant to your consent or without your
consent as permitted by the Privacy Act of 1974 and all applicable Routine Uses as may be published at any
time in the Federal Register, including the Routine Uses for the NGI system and the FBI’s Blanket Routine
Uses.
Disclosure: Furnishing this information (including your SSN) is voluntary; however, if you do not provide your
SSN or any other information requested, DHS may be unable to complete your application for a security threat
assessment.
BACKGROUND CHECK PROCESS
A background check, including the collection of ngerprints, must be completed before original issuance of an
HME. A background check and ngerprinting are also required upon renewal and every 4 years thereafter,
even though a commercial driver license may be valid for eight years. An HME knowledge test, proof of a
valid medical certicate and proof of citizenship or immigration status are also required at the same intervals.
Customers must complete all of the licensing requirements for a commercial driver license and HME with
the DMV prior to making an appointment to have their ngerprints collected. Applicants should complete the
ngerprint collection within 30 days of applying for the HME endorsement. Collections completed after 30 days
may be subject to additional TSA fees.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has entered into a contract with Fieldprint for the
purpose of collecting ngerprints for HME haulers as required under 49 CFR Part 1572 (the USA Patriot Act).
Fieldprint is a private company authorized by WisDOT, WisDOJ and the FBI to collect and submit ngerprints
of commercial drivers applying for an HME.
You will need to provide the Fieldprint code FPWIDMVHazmat to schedule your ngerprint appointment.
Fieldprint requires that you make an appointment at www.FieldprintWisconsin.com for ngerprinting
services. Fieldprint will collect the background check and ngerprinting service fees. You can make payment
by credit or debit card.
You must bring two forms of identication to your ngerprint appointment, a picture ID and a secondary ID.
When you schedule your ngerprint appointment online, the appointment conrmation you print will list the
acceptable identication documents.
