The rule requires owners and operators of certain vessels and facilities regulated by USCG to conduct electronic inspections of TWICs as an access control measure. The final rule also implements recordkeeping requirements and security plan amendments that incorporate these requirements.
The TWIC program is a component of USCG's multi-layered system of access control requirements designed to enhance maritime security.
More information about the regulation is at USCG's Maritime Commons blog.
