requirements as stated in the  Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Applicants who pass the prescribed explosive physical examination are issued a Medical Examiner's Certificate, ATA (American Trucking Association) Form C0750. (See fig. 12-4.) This certificate, in addition to the explosive driver's permit, must be on the operator's person while driving any vehicle transporting HM. EXPLOSIVES DRIVER PERMIT.—An  explo- sives   driver   must   hold   a   U.S.   Government   Motor Vehicle Operator's Identification Card, Standard Form 46  (SF  46).  (See  fig.  12-5.)  The  card  will  be  noted: "Explosives   Driver   (Must   hold   a   current   medical certificate)." The SF 46 is valid for 3 years and must be renewed  prior  to  expiration.  A  yearly  endorsement  is not required. An individual's safety record and physical requirements will be considered prior to recertification as an explosive driver. AGE AND EXPERIENCE.—An    explosives driver must be 18 years of age or older to operate motor vehicles  transporting  HM  on-station  and  21  years  of age    or    over    for    off-station    motor    vehicle    HM operations.  The  explosive  driver  must  also  have  had considerable  and  varied  driving  experience  with  the type  of  equipment  to  be  operated  and  have  a  safe driving record. MENTAL REQUIREMENTS.—Applicants, military  and  civilian,  are  required  to  pass  a  mental examination that is administered by the local command before they can be considered eligible to be explosives drivers. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS.—An   applicant   for explosives  driver  certification  found  to  be  addicted  to alcohol or drugs is rejected. Certification is revoked for an explosive driver found to be under the influence of alcohol   or   drugs   while   on   duty   or   when   showing evidence  of  addiction.  Temporary  revocation  of  HM certification  may  become  necessary  when  the  use  of physician-prescribed drugs are likely to interfere with the driver's ability to operate a motor vehicle safely. 12-21 Figure 12-5.—U.S. Government Motor Vehicle Operator's Identification Card, SF 46.
