For the second time, the U.S. Coast Guard has extended the deadline by which it will announce the latest version of a final rule for the electronic readers of Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) cards as it fine-tunes its risk assessments and how effective the TWIC cards are in addressing risk. The delay, which was announced in the Federal Register, affects the final rule entitled "Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)-Reader Requirements," which was originally published in the Federal Register August 23, 2016. The current effective date of implementa- tion was May 8, 2023, having been extended from 2020. The Coast Guard is further extending it to May 8, 2026, and said the delay could possibly be extended even further, to May 8, 2029. |
