Background

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the United 
States Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration

Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act), Pub. L. 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

    This notice provides the start date for TWIC initial enrollment at 
the Ports of Longview, WA on June 26, 2008; and Vancouver, WA on July

days before compliance is required.
