Mark
Your Calendars - Baton Rouge TWIC Compliance
Deadline Announced |
 |
| If you need a “TWIC
card” (Transportation Worker Identification
Credential), now is the time to enroll. The
U.S. Coast Guard and the
Transportation Security
Administration announced that Jan. 13,
2009 is the compliance date for owners and
operators of port facilities located in southeast
Louisiana. This includes workers in Baton Rouge,
Morgan City and New Orleans. |
 |
"To meet this goal …we
need each and every TWIC eligible candidate to
help by enrolling for their TWIC as early as
possible. As more port compliance dates are rolled
out, those who choose to wait until the last
minute run the risk of not getting their TWIC
prior to compliance deadlines" said Cmdr. David W.
Murk, chief of the U.S. Coast Guard's Cargo and
Facilities Division.
If you are an owner
or operator of a facility regulated under
Maritime Transportation Security Act
(MTSA), you are responsible for notifying
employees of their personal responsibility to
apply for and maintain a TWIC. You are also
responsible for informing employees of the
deadlines and methods for TWIC application. |
| A framework showing
expected compliance dates by Captain of the Port
Zone is available on the U.S. Coast Guard's
Homeport Web site at http://homeport.uscg.mil/twic.
Workers are encouraged to enroll as soon as
possible and can pre-enroll for their TWIC online
at www.tsa.gov/twic.

Braud at (225) 282-3297, or dbraud@safetylca.org.
