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), Pub. L. 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064
(November 25, 2002), and the Security
and 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
begin and when it is expected to
terminate.
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 3, 2008. The
Coast Guard will publish a separate
notice in the Federal Register indicating
when facilities within the Captain of the
Port Zone Portland, including those in
the Ports of Longview and Vancouver
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
Web site at https://www.tsa.gov/twic.
