SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Regulatory History 

On May 22, 2006, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) through the 

United States Coast Guard (Coast Guard) 

and the Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) published a joint 

notice of proposed rulemaking entitled 

‘‘Transportation Worker Identification 

Credential (TWIC) Implementation in 

the Maritime Sector; Hazardous 

Materials Endorsement for a 

Commercial Driver’s License’’ in the 

Federal Register (71 FR 29396). This 

was followed by a 45-day comment 

period and four public meetings. The 

Coast Guard and TSA issued a joint 

final rule, under the same title, on 

January 25, 2007 (72 FR 3492) 

(hereinafter referred to as the original 

TWIC final rule). The preamble to that 

final rule contains a discussion of all the 

comments received on the NPRM, as 

well as a discussion of the provisions 

found in the original TWIC final rule, 

which became effective on March 26, 

2007. 

On May 7, 2008, the Coast Guard and 

TSA issued a final rule to realign the 

compliance date for implementation of 

the Transportation Worker 

Identification Credential. 73 FR 25562. 

The date by which mariners need to 

obtain a TWIC, and by which owners 

and operators of vessels and outer 

continental shelf facilities must 

implement access control procedures 

utilizing TWIC, is now April 15, 2009 

instead of September 25, 2008. Owners 

and operators of facilities that must 

comply with 33 CFR part 105 will still 

be subject to earlier, rolling compliance 

dates, as set forth in 33 CFR 105.115(e). 

The Coast Guard will continue to 

announce rolling compliance dates, as 

provided in 33 CFR 105.115(e), at least 

90 days in advance via notices 

published in the Federal Register. The 

final compliance date for all COTP 

Zones will not be later than April 15, 

2009. 

II. Notice of Facility Compliance Date—

COTP Zones Baltimore, Delaware Bay, 

Mobile, Lower Mississippi River, Ohio 

Valley, Pittsburgh, and San Diego 

Title 33 CFR 105.115(e) currently 

states that ‘‘[f]acility owners and 

operators must be operating in 

accordance with the TWIC provisions in 

this part by the date set by the Coast 

Guard in a Notice to be published in the 

Federal Register.’’ Through this Notice, 

the Coast Guard informs the owners and 

operators of facilities subject to 33 CFR 

105.115(e) located within COTP Zones 

Baltimore, Delaware Bay, Mobile, Lower 

Mississippi River, Ohio Valley, 

Pittsburgh, and San Diego that the 

deadline for their compliance with 

Coast Guard and TSA TWIC 

requirements is December 30, 2008. 

The TSA and Coast Guard have 

determined that this date provides 

sufficient time for the estimated 

population required to obtain TWICs for 

these COTP Zones to enroll and for TSA 

to complete the necessary security 

threat assessments for those enrollment 

applications. We strongly encourage 

persons requiring unescorted access to 

facilities regulated by 33 CFR part 105 

and located in one of these COTP Zones 

to enroll for their TWIC as soon as 

possible, if they haven’t already. 

Additionally, we note that the TWIC 

Final Rule advises owners and operators 

of MTSA regulated facilities of their 

responsibility to notify employees of the 

TWIC requirements. Specifically, 33 

CFR 105.200(b)(14) requires owners or 

operators of MTSA regulated facilities to 

‘‘[i]nform facility personnel of their 

responsibility to apply for and maintain 

a TWIC, including the deadlines and 

methods for such applications.’’

Information on enrollment procedures, 

as well as a link to the pre-enrollment 

Web site (which will also enable an 

applicant to make an appointment for 

enrollment), may be found at https:// 

twicprogram.tsa.dhs.gov/ 

TWICWebApp/. 

You may also visit our Web site at 

homeport.uscg.mil/twic for a framework 

showing expected future compliance 

dates by COTP Zone. This list is subject 

to change; changes in expected future 

compliance dates will appear on that 

website. The exact compliance date for 

COTP Zones will also be announced in 

the Federal Register at least 90 days in 

advance.

temporary deviation from the regulation 

governing the operation of the ‘‘D’’

Street Drawbridge across the Petaluma 

River, mile 13.7, at Petaluma, CA. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City 

of Petaluma requested a temporary 

change to the operation of the ‘‘D’’

Street Drawbridge. The ‘‘D’’ Street 

Drawbridge’s navigation span provides 

7 feet of vertical clearance, at Mean 

High Water, in the closed-to-navigation 

position. The drawspan opens on signal 

if at least 4 hours notice is given for 

openings from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and if 

at least 24-hours notice is given for 

openings from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 168 / Thursday, August 28, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 50723 

The drawspan will be secured in the 

closed-to-navigation position, from 6 

a.m. on September 3, 2008 through 7 

p.m. on November 14, 2008, to allow the 

City of Petaluma to conduct needed 

maintenance, which includes; trunion 

pin replacement, deck resurfacing, and 

painting of the entire structure. To 

facilitate the maintenance, the 

contractor will install scaffolding 

beneath the bridge deck, reducing the 

vertical clearance provided for by the 

bridge in the closed-to-navigation 

position, by 5 feet. 

From September through November, 

2005–2007, the drawspan averaged 294 

openings for vessels. This temporary 

deviation has been coordinated with 

waterway users. There will be no impact 

to commercial waterway users, no 

dredging is scheduled during this 

deviation period, and the City of 

Petaluma Visitors Bureau has been 

informing recreational waterway users 

of the maintenance. No objections to the 

proposed temporary deviation were 

raised. 

Vessels that can transit the bridge, 

while in the closed-to-navigation 

position, may continue to do so at any 

time. 

In the event of an emergency the 

drawspan can be opened with 24 days 

advance notice. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the designated time period. This 

deviation from the operating regulations 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: August 19, 2008.
