Abstract:
The data collected will be used for the application of individual workers to retain a TWIC credential for security identification purposes. The data will be collected and a Security Threat Assessment will be conducted on the individual with outreach too appropriate agency databases. When the individual is cleared they will be provided a credential containing information for identification verification at either maritime facilities or vessel locations. This has been required by the MTSA Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.
