CHAPTER 4 - IDENTIFICATION CARD

4-1. Identification Card. All incidental operators must have a

valid State driver\'s license and identification card or

document (e.g., building pass, credential, or travel orders)

in their possession at all times while driving a

Government-furnished vehicle.

4-2. U.S. Government Motor Vehicle Operator\'s Identification Card.

All employees, who are occupying a position classified as a

motor vehicle operator must possess a Optional Form 346, U.S.

Government Motor Vehicle Operator\'s Identification Card,

hereafter referred to as Operator\'s Card. (Appendix 1.)

4-3. Issuance of Operator\'s Card. Individuals requiring issuance of

a Optional Form 346, Operator\'s Card, must satisfy the

following requirements:

a\. Be required to operate a motor vehicle as a condition of

employment.

b\. Possess a valid State driver\'s license from the State where

domiciled or principally employed.

c\. Complete HUD Form 87 \"Driver\'s Past Performance Record.\"

(Appendix 2.)

d\. Complete Optional Form 345, \"Physical Fitness Inquiry for

Motor Vehicle Operation.\" (Appendix 3.)

e\. Satisfactorily complete a practical road test using the

vehicle(s) for which the Operator\'s Card is to be issued.

The road test may be waived if the individual has a current

State permit for the specific type of vehicle to be

operated. Although the road test may be waived, each

issuing authority can choose not to waive the requirement

if circumstances warrant that the individual complete a

successful road test. Issuing authorities may also order a

road test for individuals who possess a current Operator\'s

Card, but whose driving habits or record are below

standards.

4-4. Renewal of Operator\'s Card. Operator\'s Cards are valid for not

more than four (4) years. Cards may be issued for lesser

periods to meet program demands. Renewal procedures and

requirements are the same as for an original issuance.

4-5. Cancellation of Operator\'s Card. The circumstances described

below will constitute sufficient cause for cancellation of

Operator\'s Card and withdrawal of driving privileges. It is

the employee-operator\'s responsibility to report any suspension

or revocation of his/her State driver\'s license to his/her

supervisor and to the controlling HUD office for motor vehicle

operations.

a\. Conviction for operating any motor vehicle under the

influence of narcotics.

b\. Conviction for operating any motor vehicle under the

influence of intoxicating beverages. If the individual\'s

State driver\'s license is suspended, the Operator\'s Card

will be suspended for the same period. Issuing authorities

may, at their discretion, cancel the Operator\'s Card even

if the State driver\'s license is only suspended.

c\. Conviction for leaving the scene of an accident without

identifying self (hit and run).

d\. Revocation of State driver\'s license.

e\. Failure to meet required physical standards after

examination by a Federal Medical Officer. If the findings

reveal a condition considered to be temporary, a temporary

Operator\'s Card will be issued for use during the period of

physical impairment.

f\. Misuse of Government-furnished vehicle.
