摘要：	MEMBERS of the House Homeland Security Committee recently introduced bipartisan legislation that would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to streamline the application and renewal process for transportation workers who need multiple credentials, and establish a reduced fee structure. If signed into law, the bill would bring relief for carriers, and the overall supply chain, says Ryan Streblow, president and CEO of National Tank Truck Carriers, which has had a long-standing goal of streamlining the process for securing the Hazardous Materials Endorsement (HME) and Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). "It's incredibly crucial, especially now," Streblow insisted. "We're facing, and continue to face, a workforce shortage. "It makes the news all the time-and duplication is adding to the potential delays." Because of the commodities they haul, most tank truck carriers require drivers to hold a hazmat endorsement, and workers who need access to secure port facilities-which tank truck drivers often need to visit-must obtain a TWIC. Yet those credentials, along with the TSA PreCheck, which all require background checks, are applied for and issued separately, and come with their own fees and protracted wait times.
