Background
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), through the United
States Coast Guard and the
Transportation Security Administration
(TSA), issued a joint final rule (72 FR
3492; January 25, 2007) pursuant to the
Maritime Transportation Security Act
(MTSA), Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat.
2064 (November 25, 2002), and the
Security and Accountability for Every
Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act), Public
Law 109–347 (October 13, 2006). This
rule requires all credentialed merchant
mariners and individuals with
unescorted access to secure areas of a
regulated facility or vessel to obtain a
TWIC. In this final rule, on page 3510,
TSA and Coast Guard stated that a
phased enrollment approach based
upon risk assessment and cost/benefit
would be used to implement the
program nationwide, and that TSA
would publish a notice in the Federal
Register indicating when enrollment at
a specific location will begin and when
it is expected to terminate.
This notice provides the start date for
TWIC initial enrollment at the Ports of
Portsmouth, NH and Chattanooga, TN
on April 23, 2008; and San Juan, PR on
April 30, 2008. The Coast Guard will
publish a separate notice in the Federal
Register indicating when facilities
within the Captain of the Port Zone
Northern New England, including those
in the Port of Portsmouth; Captain of the
Port Zone Ohio Valley, including those
in the Port of Chattanooga; and Captain
of the Port Zone San Juan, including
those in the Port of San Juan must
comply with the portions of the final
rule requiring TWIC to be used as an
access control measure. That notice will
be published at least 90 days before
compliance is required.
To obtain information on the preenrollment and enrollment process, and
enrollment locations, visit TSA’s TWIC
