Only when a law enforcement agency can show just cause to believe that a felon is at risk of evading pending criminal proceedings or leaving an area of designated jurisdiction, and only after said agency makes a specific written request to the passport processing division of the State Department in Washington, DC, or if the applicant has an outstanding federal warrant, can an applicant be denied a passport.
