Transportation Worker Identification Credential Implementation in the Maritime Sector; Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Driver's License; Correction
Document Number: E7-1952
Type: Rule
Date: 2007-02-07
Agency: Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration
This document contains corrections to the final rule published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2007. That rule requires credentialed merchant mariners and workers with unescorted access to secure areas of vessels and facilities to undergo a security threat assessment and receive a biometric credential, known as a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). This rule correction revises a paragraph of the appeal and waiver process in part 1515. In addition, this rule correction redesignates a paragraph in part 1540 under the procedures for security threat assessment and revises text in part 1572 concerning the list of disqualifying offenses. These revisions are necessary to correct typographical errors and in one instance, to remove a word from a definition as mandated by recent legislative action.
