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.

Emergency Justfication: When OMB concluded on the previous submission of this ICR on 06/28/2012, it provided the following Terms of Clearance: TSA should submit an Emergency Information Collection Request, to reflect changes to the program and burden hours that will result from the Exemption Notice published in the Federal Register on June 19, 2012 (49 CFR Part 1572 [Docket No. TSA–2006–24191]). This submission is in response to those terms.
