The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced a request for public comments on an existing information collection for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC®) Program. This program, done in collaboration with the U.S. Coast Guard, involves collecting biographic and biometric data to conduct security threat assessments required for access to secure maritime areas. The TSA is proposing an extension of this information collection and is reviewing feedback on the necessity, utility, and burden of the data collection process. Comments are invited until February 10, 2025, and further details can be found on https://www.reginfo.gov.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to check if everything about a special ID card for transport workers is done efficiently, so they ask people to tell them what they think about it. This ID helps workers get into safe areas at ports, and the government is seeing if this works well and if they can make any improvements.
