For those who guide on federal waterways, here's another hoop to jump thru: "TWIC; Transportation Worker Identification Credential"
How was TWIC created?
Congress, through the Maritime Transportation Security Act, or MTSA, directed the federal government to issue a biometric transportation security credential to any individual with unescorted access to secure areas of facilities and vessels and all mariners holding Coast Guard issued credentials or qualification documents.
What are the compliance dates for the TWIC program?
Owners and operators of vessels and all U.S. credentialed mariners will be required to comply with the provisions of the final TWIC rule by September 25, 2008.
How much will port workers be charged for a TWIC?
The fee for TWIC will be $132.50 and it is valid for five years. Workers with current, comparable background checks will pay a reduced fee of $105.25. If workers are eligible to pay the lower price, their TWIC will expire 5 years from the date of the comparable credential (additional information is provided in the next question). The cost of a replacement TWIC, if the original is lost, stolen or damaged is $60
