What the agency says
The Coast Guard is further delaying the effective date for certain facilities affected by the final rule entitled "Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)--Reader Requirements," published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2016. On March 9, 2020, the Coast Guard published a rule, delaying the implementation date to May 8, 2023. In December 2022, Congress statutorily extended the earliest implementation to no sooner than May 8, 2026. With this final rule, we are delaying the implementation date for certain facilities to May 8, 2029. This rule will not affect facilities receiving vessels certificated to carry more than 1,000 passengers.
