TWIC Reader Rule Delay Rule Sent to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received from the Coast Guard their final rule on the delay of the Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) Reader Rule for the delay of delay the effective date for certain facilities that handle certain dangerous cargoes (CDCs) in bulk or receive vessels carrying CDC in bulk. This rule has nothing to do with the current system wide delay in that rule pending a report to Congress on the effectiveness of the TWIC program.

The NPRM for this rule was published in June of 2018.
