I. Regulatory History
On May 22, 2006, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) through the
United States Coast Guard (Coast Guard)
and the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) published a joint
notice of proposed rulemaking entitled
‘‘Transportation Worker Identification
Credential (TWIC) Implementation in
the Maritime Sector; Hazardous
Materials Endorsement for a
Commercial Driver’s License’’ in the
Federal Register (71 FR 29396). This
was followed by a 45-day comment
period and four public meetings. The
Coast Guard and TSA issued a joint
final rule, under the same title, on
January 25, 2007 (72 FR 3492)
(hereinafter referred to as the original
TWIC final rule). The preamble to that
final rule contains a discussion of all the
comments received on the NPRM, as
well as a discussion of the provisions
found in the original TWIC final rule,
which became effective on March 26,
2007.
On May 7, 2008, the Coast Guard and
TSA issued a final rule to realign the
compliance date for implementation of
the Transportation Worker
Identification Credential. 73 FR 25562.
The date by which mariners need to
obtain a TWIC, and by which owners
and operators of vessels and outer
continental shelf facilities must
implement access control procedures
utilizing TWIC, is now April 15, 2009
instead of September 25, 2008. Owners
and operators of facilities that must
comply with 33 CFR part 105 will still
be subject to earlier, rolling compliance
dates, as set forth in 33 CFR 105.115(e).
The Coast Guard will continue to
announce rolling compliance dates, as
provided in 33 CFR 105.115(e), at least
90 days in advance via notices
published in the Federal Register. The
final compliance date for all COTP
Zones will not be later than April 15,
2009.

II. Notice of Facility Compliance Date—
COTP Zones Baltimore, Delaware Bay,
Mobile, Lower Mississippi River, Ohio
Valley, Pittsburgh, and San Diego
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Title 33 CFR 105.115(e) currently
states that ‘‘[f]acility owners and
operators must be operating in
accordance with the TWIC provisions in
this part by the date set by the Coast
Guard in a Notice to be published in the
Federal Register.’’ Through this Notice,
the Coast Guard informs the owners and
operators of facilities subject to 33 CFR
105.115(e) located within COTP Zones
Baltimore, Delaware Bay, Mobile, Lower
Mississippi River, Ohio Valley,
Pittsburgh, and San Diego that the
deadline for their compliance with
Coast Guard and TSA TWIC
requirements is December 30, 2008.
The TSA and Coast Guard have
determined that this date provides
sufficient time for the estimated
population required to obtain TWICs for
these COTP Zones to enroll and for TSA
to complete the necessary security
threat assessments for those enrollment
applications. We strongly encourage
persons requiring unescorted access to
facilities regulated by 33 CFR part 105
and located in one of these COTP Zones
to enroll for their TWIC as soon as
possible, if they haven’t already.
Additionally, we note that the TWIC
Final Rule advises owners and operators
of MTSA regulated facilities of their
responsibility to notify employees of the
TWIC requirements. Specifically, 33
CFR 105.200(b)(14) requires owners or
operators of MTSA regulated facilities to
‘‘[i]nform facility personnel of their
responsibility to apply for and maintain
a TWIC, including the deadlines and
methods for such applications.’’
Information on enrollment procedures,
as well as a link to the pre-enrollment
Web site (which will also enable an
applicant to make an appointment for
enrollment), may be found at https://
twicprogram.tsa.dhs.gov/
TWICWebApp/.
You may also visit our Web site at
homeport.uscg.mil/twic for a framework
showing expected future compliance
dates by COTP Zone. This list is subject
to change; changes in expected future
compliance dates will appear on that
website. The exact compliance date for
COTP Zones will also be announced in
the Federal Register at least 90 days in
advance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City
of Petaluma requested a temporary
change to the operation of the ‘‘D’’
Street Drawbridge. The ‘‘D’’ Street
Drawbridge’s navigation span provides
7 feet of vertical clearance, at Mean
High Water, in the closed-to-navigation
position. The drawspan opens on signal
if at least 4 hours notice is given for
openings from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and if
at least 24-hours notice is given for
openings from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 168 / Thursday, August 28, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
The drawspan will be secured in the
closed-to-navigation position, from 6
a.m. on September 3, 2008 through 7
p.m. on November 14, 2008, to allow the
City of Petaluma to conduct needed
maintenance, which includes; trunion
pin replacement, deck resurfacing, and
painting of the entire structure. To
facilitate the maintenance, the
contractor will install scaffolding
beneath the bridge deck, reducing the
vertical clearance provided for by the
bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position, by 5 feet.
From September through November,
2005–2007, the drawspan averaged 294
openings for vessels. This temporary
deviation has been coordinated with
waterway users. There will be no impact
to commercial waterway users, no
dredging is scheduled during this
deviation period, and the City of
Petaluma Visitors Bureau has been
informing recreational waterway users
of the maintenance. No objections to the
proposed temporary deviation were
raised.
Vessels that can transit the bridge,
while in the closed-to-navigation
position, may continue to do so at any
time.
In the event of an emergency the
drawspan can be opened with 24 days
advance notice.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
