DATES:
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 Port of
Saipan on September 17, 2008. The
Coast Guard will publish a separate
notice in the Federal Register indicating
when facilities within the Captain of the
Port Zone Guam including those in the
Port of Saipan 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.
