DHS Realigns TWIC Compliance Date
The Department of Homeland Security anounced May 2 that the final compliance date for the Transporation Worker Identification Credential, or TWIC, has been changed to April 15, 2009. This is a realignment from the September 25, 2008 date that had been set forth in the TWIC final rule.
This program is critically important to everyone in the industry because eventually the TWIC will have to be carried by anyone who requires access to secure areas of a port without an escort.
