11/13/06 National Maritime Security Advisory Committee (NMSAC) Task Statement TWIC Contactless Specification
On October 13, 2006, the SAFE Port Act, which contained specific provisions for the TWIC program, became law. It requires, among other things, that the Department of Homeland Security conduct a TWIC pilot program in five distinct locations to test the business processes, technology, and operational impacts required to deploy TWIC readers. The pilot is required to begin no later than April, 2007. The results of this pilot will inform the second TWIC rulemaking, which is intended to incorporate contactless card reader capability to meet the demands of TWIC application in the maritime environment.
